Spike’s game selection is limited to Texas Holdem, Omaha, Omaha Hi
Lo, with stakes ranging from $0.02/$0.04 up to $50/$100. Since the room is attached
to the Cake Network, players will never need to worry about traffic as the site
sees well over 5,000 players during peak hours and as of the last couple of
months most cash games are in full swing right up to $25/$50. The lower limits
offer up some of the softest cash games online, and add to it that you can earn
valuable Gold Cards, CardSpike is one of the more profitable sites for cash
game players. The poker room takes a fixed rate set at 5% on all real money
hands up to the maximum of $3 per pot.
