PDC Poker Room Features

PDC Poker offers its players many features to keep things interesting. These features help make PDC poker a fun, and exciting online poker room. PDC offers a lot so you may find this a little long but it is well worth reading the entire page.

Bad Beat Jackpot
Every now and then in poker you run into an awesome hand only to be beaten by someone with an even better hand. These bad beats hurt, but PDC Poker's Bad Beat Jackpot helps to ease the pain.

In any Texas Holdem game, when you're holding quads or a straight flush, you're looking to get paid off big time and the temptation to go all in is automatic. But what happens if your opponent is holding even higher quads or a better straight flush?

Such bad beats usually result in entire chip stacks being passed over the table. However the Bad Beat Jackpot will allow you to win thousands and thousands of dollars in cash all for losing a hand.

On specially listed Bad Beat Holdem ring game tables, PDC collects 50 cents from each pot to contribute to the Bad Beat Jackpot. When a massive hand is beaten the jackpot is won with all active players at the table winning loads of cash!

Caribbean Stud Jackpot
The Caribbean Stud Jackpot builds with each hand you play. When at the table, in addition to your normal bet against the dealer, you can also play for the jackpot. Depending on the stakes you play you can either play for the 20 cent jackpot or the $1 jackpot. Just hit the jackpot checkbox located bottom right of the screen in the game.

The jackpot payout table shows the winning hands and prizes for those winning hands. The Caribbean Stud jackpot has been hit several times in the past year. So get playing now to win!

Time Bank
Time bank is pretty much just as its name suggests - a bank of time. It allows you some extra time during those moments when a tough decision is forced upon you.

In ring games time is accrued as you play up until the maximum has been stored in your Timebank. In tournament games the Timebank is set at a certain amount depending on the type of tournament. When a player's allotted 15 seconds are almost up, the Timebank option will be displayed up upon the betting bar. To active the Timebank and use your extra time you simply click the button.

Deal It Twice
As the name suggests deal it twice is a feature that allows you to deal the cards twice. It is a feature that continues to increase in popularity in live cash games, and brings a whole new dynamic to the game.

When two players are all in there will be the option to deal the turn and river cards twice. Both players must consent; if one does not, then the turn and river will be dealt as normal.

Comp Points
Comp points are earned for every hand you play in real money games. The amount you earn depends on the stakes you are playing. Higher stakes games will earn you more comp points than micro limit games. Comp points are based upon rake and in tournaments players are awarded a fixed comp point amount.

Double Comp Points
You can earn double comp points just by starting a table. Just sit down at an empty table and wait for the action to come to you.

• Comp points are used for a number of purposes at PDC Poker, including:
• Tracking your eligibility requirements to earn sign up bonuses, reload bonuses and freeroll tournament coupons.
• Running totals are used to evaluate eligibility for exclusive offers and special player's clubs.
• Make purchases in the comp point's store.
• Enter into free roll tournaments.
• Win free cash in monthly promotions

You can check and keep track of the amount of comp points you have by looking in your player admin.

Quick Start
PDC Poker takes the hassle out of searching for a game with its quick start feature. The quick start feature is located on the right hand side of the screen. As soon as you have logged in just fill out the required fields - Game Type, Table Type, Stakes, Minimum Players and click play now. You will instantly be taken to a game that matches your criteria.

Rabbit Hunt
Whenever you fold your hand you are left wondering what your opponent won with, or what cards would have fallen on the turn or river. PDC's Rabbit feature allows the hand to be played out even if it has been won.

The winner of the hand has the option of letting the hand play out. By clicking the Rabbit checkbox, any remaining cards will be dealt for all to see, and the winners hand will be displayed.

This is a great way to show your opponents your bluff or that they were truly beat. The only downside is that they get to see your hole cards. But either way the choice is yours to make.

Multiple Windows
By using the multiple windows feature that can be found in the settings, you can display up to 4 games in a 2x2 grid.

It's the perfect aid for playing multiple ring games, a daily freeroll and a even a game of blackjack without having to switch between windows.

Expose one card
One of the best ways to keep your opponents on their toes is to make use of PDC's expose one card feature.

Many poker rooms allow a player to show both of their hole cards, but PDC takes it to the next level and gives you the option of exposing both or just one.

By showing just one card you are able to openly display how you play the game to your opponents often lulling them into false assumptions of your playing style.

Player Accolades
If you win a tournament or event at PDC Poker they reward you with accolades. Customized ribbons or trophies are placed in your player box for all players to view.

For our regular tournaments the accolades are basic ribbons and trophies however if you win a special event or a big tournament you receive a special accolade unique to the event you won.

You will also notice that a lot of players are sporting stars in their player boxes. These stars are also accolades and are awarded for regular play. The more you play, the more stars you get, so when you sit down at the table with your player box loaded with stars and a nice fancy accolade, you are going to get some respect.

Smilies
PDC poker brings animation to its games.

At the table, you can type all manner of words to activate cool little animations and emoticons. There is also a huge range of panda smilies now available as well.

There are loads of emoticons hidden, and PDC is always sneaking in new ones. Try typing some of your favorite words and see if they come to life.

Try: Shark, Fish, Dance, Whosyourdaddy

Player Tag
Use PDC Poker's tag feature so that if you run into them at the tables again you have an idea of how to play them.

To tag a player while at the tables simply click on a player and choose a tag icon. You can also type notes on the player and even choose whether you want to see this players table chat or not.
