2012 Titan Poker Review - In DetailBelow is my detailed review and guide to Titan Poker, fully refreshed for 2012. This covers games, software and bonuses - giving you a flavor of what it would be like to play at Titan Poker - which is widely regarded as one of the softest poker sites around.
Titan Poker Screen Shots - Click To Enlarge Titan Poker are the biggest site on a network of poker rooms known as the ‘iPoker Network’, which is collectively the 2nd largest site after Pokerstars. This network is made up of many brands which are better known for their sports-betting, such as Bet365 and William Hill. With so many 'gamblers' able to easily cross into the poker rooms, the iPoker Network is rightly considered far softer than networks which only host players more serious about their poker. You will find the games noticably more profitable at iPoker, and if you stick with the biggest site on the network - Titan Poker - you will enjoy rewards and loyalty bonuses which are industry leading too.

Titan Poker 2012 Review - Cash Games SpotlightCash games at Titan Poker are divided between 'European Tables' and 'World Tables', with Dollars, Pounds and Euros all used. Table sizes include 2 player, then 6 (the most popular size), 8-player and the 10 player Full-Ring games. Stakes start at just 1c / 2c blinds, going up to the high stakes games with stacks of many thousands. Titan have a huge bias towards to lower and mid-stakes games with massess of games up to 25c / 50c blinds and a big selection up to $2 / $4 - there are games higher than this, however not a huge choice of tables outside of European evenings or weekends. I like the '50 Big Blind Minimum' tables, which get rid of the problem of short-stackers found at many other sites. There are shallow stacked tables and turbo speed games available. A nice touch are the beginners tables, which are even softer than the already soft normal games and give you a chance to build that bankroll early! Outside of NL Holdem there is a big selection of Omaha - with PLO High being the game of choice. Titan Poker also spread 7 and 5 card Stud and Razz games. Once again, my key reason for recommending Titan Poker across SNG Planet are the profitable games, I strongly recommend readers check out those cash games for themselves before playing anywhere else.
Titan Poker 2012 Review - Tournaments SpotlightTournaments are a great reason to check out Titan Poker in 2012 - this is where the famously soft fields really come into their own. Games are focused on the lower to mid buy-ins, with the $3 to $20 range the most crowded. There are games above this, including the $200,000 guaranteed Sunday event and several $55+ games throughout the week. Variations include many rebuys and turbo structures too. There are two things (in addition to the soft fields) which Titan Poker do very well with tournaments. First they have an excellent satellite qualifier system, which is used as the basis of qualifying for everything from the bigger online tournaments to some big televised events like the World Series or Aussie Millions. These are divided into 3 stages, with stage 1 awarding the event tickets and the stage 2 and 3 acting as sub-qualifiers. Second, Titan have themed promos such as 'Monday Night Omaha' and the 'iPoPs' hybrid live / online events which offer tournament players some great guaranteed prizes and other incentives. These will change throughout the year - so I recommend you keep an eye on the Titan Poker website for the latest deals. Titan Poker 2012 Review - Sit N Go Tournaments SpotlightTitan's Jackpot SNGs are massively popular - these give you a chance to win $50k+ for winning 5 or 6 SNGs in row (there are several levels to choose from). I am prepared to stick my neck on the line here and state that you will not find softer SNGs anywhere else online, including the standard 1 table games, Double or Nothing games and the Turbo / Omaha / Multi-table variations too. I have created specific SNG-focused reviews for all the main sites - you can read my Titan Poker SNGs Review here. Titan Poker 2012 Review - Playability And Poker SoftwareAll of the sites on the iPoker Network run on the same software - which is provided by industry giant PlayTech. This is then branded with the individual site's colors. Overall this is a nice poker client, easy to get around and easy to play. I have a couple of minor issues - too many pop-up messages (for example when moving table or joining a game) and no synchronized 5-minute breaks for tournaments. On balance the software has come a long way over the last few years - it used to be the 'ugly duckling' of the poker world and is now a pretty good all round system! Titan Poker 2012 Review - Bonuses, Incentives And PromotionsHere is a key reason for recommending Titan throughout the site - their generous bonuses. You get to start with my exclusive reader offer... then Titan take over and they will look after you extremely well. As a SNG Planet reader your welcome bonus at Titan just got boosted. In addition to a huge 200% match on your first deposit, I offer readers depositing $30+ first time and extra $20 in free cash on top. All you need to do is register with Titan Poker bonus code SNGPLANET, the $20 cash will be paid directly into your account within 48 hours - I'll personally guarantee it! Click Here To Claim Your Exclusive Titan Poker Bonus Now! Incentives can be divided into 2 areas, the ongoing offers and the 1-off promotions and specials. You will benefit from both of these at Titan. Ongoing offers start with the excellent loyalty scheme. This pays cash bonuses and is based on how long you play at Titan, what level of games and the volume of play you put in. What I like about this scheme is that you do not need to be a high-roller to get the most out of it... smaller to mid stakes players get better and better rewards as time goes on. Other ongoing rewards include leaderboards for Tournaments and SNGs which award cash prizes. When it comes to player promotions, what Titan are good at is creating themes which cover many different games. These range from 'Winter Edition' which includes cash 'races', tournaments and freerolls - through to iPoPs tournament contests with live finals and also some game specifics (for example SNG Win / Limit Holdem Promos and the awesome 'Omahaolics'). The recent birthday celebration had enough coverage to keep all types of players happy. With up to 10 promos often overlapping and new ones all the time, I strongly recommend you keep an eye on the Titan Poker website to keep up with the latest and greatest benefits. Titan Poker 2012 Review - Planet Mark's Summary And Overall VerdictYou have 2 key reasons to choose Titan - and in my opinion both of them would be good enough on its own. First the fish, as we all know, bad opponents mean more profits... and you will not find more profitable games than these anywhere else! Second the incentives - which are industry leading and boosted even further my my $20 cash offer (with bonus code SNGPLANET) on top of your 200% welcome bonus.
