Duplicate Poker is definitely one of the most unique playing experiences there is to date. Almost eliminating the luck factor, players must rely on skill in order to do well. During play, there are always at least 2 tables, all with the exact same number of people. Each table has the same deck, so people in the same position as you at a different table will get the same cards. Your final score is calculated by comparing how you did with others in the same position as you at different tables. With its large daily freerolls and emphasize on skill rather than luck, Duplicate poker has great player traffic and promises to expand as time passes.
Rake is the usual 5%, while the limits are set to cater towards the lower-midlevel players. Buyins range from $3 to $15.
Even with the different variation on poker, the software itself is well designed and easy to use. The lobby is known to sometimes lag, but actual game play is always quick and efficient. In general, the only lag there is comes from waiting for action to end at other tables, and even then it's not too noticeable. There is also the promise of more functionality to come, which will only serve to continue to attract and keep customers from all over, especially being a US friendly poker room.
