The software that Titan Poker utilizes was created by Playtech,  one of the leaders in the industry.  Playtech deployed a powerful collusion prevention mechanism.  Basically what that means is that it analyzes and scrutinizes every move from every player on Titan Poker.  Upon the detection of the slightest irregularity,  a detection alert gets sent to their expert staff who investigate the matter further.  This is how Titan Poker and iPoker ensure their clients that they are playing in a secure environment.

Titan Poker is based out of Europe and the majority of

Getting Started

Titan Poker’s software takes only a few minutes to download with a variety of deposit options:  Click2Pay,  FirePay,  Central Coin,  EcoCard,  Money Bookers,  Neteller,  MasterCard,  Visa,  InstaDebt and My Citadel.  Funding your account via Neteller is very quick.  It was almost instant when I deposited and I was able to play within 15 minutes from the time I started downloading the software.  The minimum deposit is $50.  Currently Titan Poker offers a generous 100% deposit match bonus up to $500.  So if you deposit $500,  you are eligible for an additional $500 in bonuses.  You have to play a required number of raked hands in order to qualify in either cash games or in tournaments.

You can also get an extra $10.  Here’s how.  As soon as you download the software and set up an account,  a customer service rep sends you an instant message through their site.  They ask if you’d like to earn a free $10.  All you have to do is fund your account right away and they’ll send you the $10.  That’s a great way to start.

Interface & Software

Titan Poker’s lobby is clearly defined and easy to navigate.  The chat software is a little annoying:  If you like to ramble on in the chat windows,  beware,  because you will often be cut off in mid-sentence.

You can choose your avatar from a list including some French guy with a beret,  an old guy in a Hawaiian shirt,  and a female in a red dress with lots of cleavage.  The best option is being able to view your table in full-screen mode.  You can take notes on other players and they also offer a buddy list so you can find out when your friends are playing.

Titan Poker has a cool feature where you can review your recent game history in real time from within the poker game in graphical format.  Talk about a quick and simple analysis!  You can also get hand histories if you contact their customer support team.

Games

Titan Poker offers a variety of cash games if you like Holdem,  Omaha,  and Omaha Hi/Lo;  but there's no Seven-card Stud.  For Texas Holdem,  Titan Poker offers fun/play money tables in addition to Limit,  No Limit,  Pot-Limit,  Turbo,  and Heads Up.

Titan offers Limit,  Pot-Limit,  Turbo,  and Heads Up Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo.

Titan Poker offers micro limits in Texas Holdem for as little as $0.02 and $0.04 tables.  They also offer short-handed and full tables.  The highest limits are $10/$20 followed by $5/$10,  $3/$6,  $2/$4,  $1/$2,  $0.50/$1,  $0.25/$0.50,  $0.10/$0.20,  and $0.05/$0.10.  These tables are available for Limit,  No Limit,  and Pot-Limit Holdem.

Titan Poker doesn’t have too many high stakes tables.  Again,  this is part of the reason not too many sharks play on Titan.  It seems the rooms are geared for beginner and low limit players.

Tournaments

The tournaments are Titan Poker’s best feature.  Because a lot of dedicated online players do not like the interface and software,  that keeps the better players away.  The result is a pool of bad tournament players.  The No Limit tournaments are incredibly soft.  They offer free rolls at different times of the day.  The lowest buy in tournaments are $1 and they offer $2,  $3,  $5,  $10,  $20,  $30,  and $50 MTTs.  Titan also offers daily rebuy tournaments and that’s where most of the fish play.

Titan Poker offers up a monthly $25,000 Guaranteed Tournament and plenty of opportunities to get in cheaply through a single table satellite or an MTT.  The majority of tournaments are Holdem on Titan Poker,  but they offer a few Pot-Limit Omaha MTTs.  Titan Poker also has satellites for various World Poker Tour events and the Aussie Million.

Titan Poker offers regular and Turbo SNGs ranging from $1 to $100.  They also have special Jackpot SNGs where if you win six in a row,  you can win at least $25,000.  If no one wins, the jackpot increases.

The Players

Like I said,  the players on Titan Poker are pretty bad.  That’s what happens with new sites.  The sharks are on the bigger and more established sites,  so you can make a killing playing on Titan Poker and other smaller sites.  But beware,  with less-skilled players,  that means the bad beats are frequents and more furious.

The only drawback is that the pool of players is small so you might have to wait for awhile to play your favorite table limit.  You have to factor in that a lot of Titan’s players are European,  so your peak time in the North America happens late in the afternoon.  But if you log in around midnight,  you can possibly catch a few tired Europeans on the tail end of their session.

Customer Service

Titan Poker offers a chat feature where you can talk one-on-one with a customer service rep.  That might be their best quality,  the fact that they are not very big yet and have an adequate support staff to handle problems and questions.

Overall,  Titan Poker is not a bad place to play online poker.  The generous first-time bonus deposit is enough reason for me to play there.  Plus the skill level of the majority of players is fairly low.  If you are an SNG specialist,  then the Jackpot SNGs were created specifically for you.  The multi-table tournaments are soft,  the ring games even softer.  If you like to bonus whore,  then Titan Poker is the place to be.  If you are a low limit grinder or beginner player,  then Titan Poker offers plenty of micro-limit tables.
