Detailed comparison of PPPoker, PokerKing Asia, PokerMaster

Asian poker applications have become one of the trends in modern online poker for more than a year. The unusual organization of the games doesn't stop lots of players to get the opportunity to sit at the same tables with medium and high stakes fish.

Today we will compare the three most popular of them (PPPoker, PokerKing Asia, PokerMaster) and review the current situation of traffic in Hold'em for October 2018. First, we list the main pros and cons.

PPPoker

We mentioned PPPoker last month as one of the best sites to play Chinese poker and Omaha in 2018.

PPPoker pros:

Our deal includes more than 15 clubs from around the world
Strict policies against collusion and ban violators with funds confiscation
Full funds guarantee from Worldpokerdeals (in some clubs we guarantee only the deposit)
Fixed rakeback with a standard rake structure
Hand converter available for displaying statistics at the tables (HUD)
PC client
Low fee on withdrawals
Fast chips transfer among clubs without commission
The minimum deposit is $200

PPPoker cons:

Most of the clubs are not willing to create HU tables
The high cost of converter for trackers
One account works only for playing at one table (multiple accounts are needed for multi-tabling)
The rake is high, especially for HU

PokerKing Asia

It is the newest application on the market. The first information about PokerKing Asia was available in mid-August. It is very similar to all the applications.

PokerKing Asia pros:

It is the softest field of the Asian rooms, lots of tables where all the players are fish
Direct HUD support from Hand2Note, without requiring the use of additional hand converters
The world's largest and weakest traffic in Short Deck Hold'em (6+ Hold'em)
No clubs, all tables are visible to players immediately
Minimum deposit is $500

PokerKing Asia cons:

There is no funds guarantee like in other Asian apps
Medium commission for withdrawals
No Omaha action
The client is available only in the Chinese language

PokerMaster

It is the largest and most famous application of all. In fact, PokerMaster was the room that started the boom in Europe and America.

PokerMaster pros:

A large selection of games (100+ clubs, 1,000+ tables)
Worldpokerdeals offers bankroll guarantee
Low withdrawal fee

PokerMaster cons:

Collusion in many clubs, especially at Omaha tables
Great fame turned into a strengthening of the field, games are reg infested now
HUD only works with additional software, and the last client update probed that the developers are fighting against it.
Minimum deposit is $1,500

Hold'em traffic in PPPoker, PokerKing Asia, and PokerMaster

We took the total number of tables during Asian peak time on a weekday. In PPPoker and PokerMaster we took only seven major clubs:

Poker room/Stake	NL20-30$	NL60$	NL120-150$	NL300$	NL600-700$	NL800$	NL1K$+
PPPoker	5 (7)	6 (9)	3 (6)	4 (2)	2 (1)		1 (1)
PokerKingAsia	23*	17	13	8		5	3
PokerMaster	12	108	46	44	26		4

* there are lower stakes available, but considering the minimum deposit of $500 is not profitable to play them

In PPPoker we indicate the number of 6-max tables in brackets. In PokerKing Asia all tables are 8-max Hold'em, and in PokerMaster almost all the action is 8-9-max. The traffic on these apps is so good, that if there are no available tables, most likely a new one will be opened soon.

Conclusions

PPPoker — considering the recent analysis of Omaha and Chinese poker, PPPoker is the most versatile application in terms of poker games offered. 6-max tables prevail so this room is most suitable for short tables’ fans.
PokerKing Asia — is a room for people who are ready to play without a fund guarantee but with a huge set of advantages, being this one the softest Asian application available. Also, this is the only app with 6+ Hold'em traffic in 4-max and 6-max formats with bets from $1 to $300.
PokerMaster — offers a huge selection of 8-9-max tables at medium and high stakes. Playing with statistics will allow you to find fish at the tables. Only in this application, the main clubs create about a dozen HU tables from NL60 to NL700.

In all the three rooms our players play, consistently win, and withdraw easily their profits.
