I can just say of my experience that its total crap. In cash game there are so many aggressive fish that you can hardly play any cards. And if you play, you get kicked by some marginal hand. I lost (percentaged more than won) several times after a preflop allin with AA against crap like 92s, KJoffsuit etc.. I think there is something wrong with the mathematics....my opinion

There is nothing wrong with the math. There are simply to many crazy canadians playing there.

I didnt mind it al all, same as any outher small poker room, its all what you would expect, could do with more traffic, but yes the canadians seam to think they own action, and the dragon comments got old quick, lots of fish there who cant spot when they have been outplayd, quick cash outs easy deposit, personall support (shaun if you are woundering), great bonus offers, id still be there if it wasn`t for the traffic im sure i will stop by now and then.

I love action poker great bonuses some of the worst players in the world which makes for easy money but some times means alot of bad beats :-S Maybe a few more tournaments are needed to bring in traffic but other than that 10/10

action poker is definately one of my favorite sites to play....probs only because ive won more there than anywhere else the low traffic doesnt realy bother me because i only play nl hold em ring games anyway.

I absolutly agree with NeXuS i have no-deposit bonus on this room, and had seen pre-flop combination like AA, KK, QQ, JJ every 5 deal. And if you play pre-flop all-in (for example with KK) you have less than 10% to win because some will have two-pair, street, set, etc. And is not crazy canadains it's mathematics (only in cash game, in tournament's everythins all right) and nothing more!!!!!!!!!!
Well i cannot say too much about Action... My no deposit request has been rejected for unknown reasons, so i didn't have a chance to try it out but it's the same as Million Dollar Poker Club (the no deposit has been also rejected for unknown reasons) and i have deposited there 10$ to try it out... Well, pretty strange. When you have marginal hands you always hit something on the flop (2 pairs, sraight...) and when you hold some strong pair in hand like KK AA or even AK suited you will be always beaten by some crap... I play elsewhere, also on sites with low traffic and it's much better. Maybe i should play more there before say anything but my first impression was extremely bad...

I played there shortly with a no deposit bonus. Seems like a great site with decent software and allways helpfull Shaun. To get me playing there they need EU-class 3 license and more traffic.
