Events:

8/10
Types of game:
Everest Poker offers solely Hold-em games, with most of the traffic and tournaments being directed at the No Limit variety. Ring games and Sit and Go tournaments benefit from various seriously low micro-limit entries, with 5 cent tournaments and 4 cent ring tables the lows offered. However the highest stake possible in ring games is $20 which is a bit lacking when you consider the $100 or $200 tables that exist on other sites. This of small concern to the average player, but for those who wish to play high stake poker, or indeed a different game to No-Limit Hold-Em poker, Everest Poker may not be the site for you. It must be noted however that Sit and Go tournaments are available up to a maximum of $500 entry, which more than suffices.
