Being the first card room online Poker Planet free has other
firsts in security. Poker Planet free where the first card room to put out a
totally insecure shuffle and the first and only as far as is known, card room
to be hacked. Poker Planet free did everything wrong, they used a small seed,
seeded from the CPU clock and used an insecure PRNG. Fortunately, for Poker
Planet free some honest geeks who worked at a security company did the hack
and told Poker Planet free about it.
Unfortunately, Poker Planet free only visible response was to take the fairness
page that described their shuffling process, down. We can only assume that they
fixed the problem. They are generously rated as lacking because they offer no
information about the process they now use to shuffle the deck. If we were to
go by their old fairness page the shuffle would be rated as bad, horrible and
we cannot believe that guy called with a 7-2 and caught runner-runner.
Poker Planet free was the first online card room to offer real money games.
Poker Planet free has an excellent variety of games offering all the expected
games of seven card stud, stud 8 or better, Omaha, Omaha eight or better and
also Razz (seven card stud low), five card draw and lo ball. The variety of
limits is excellent plus. Poker Planet free offers small blind pot limit and
no limit. Limit games range from penny limits up to 20/40. Poker Planet free
offers head up and five handed games. Tournaments are rated good. Although Poker
Planet free does not offer round the clock single table freeze outs they have
an extensive tournament schedule. Tech support is rated good to excellent. The
software is rated good. Security due to lack of information is rated lacking.
