Poker Metro was launched in 2005 and is still one of the smaller, but more active poker rooms on the 'net. Since launch, Poker Metro has delivered over 1,00,000 hands to their customers, primarily for Texas Hold'em, but also 5 and 7 Card Stud Poker. The advantages and disadvantages of a “smaller” poker room are just two sides of the same coin: Fewer people make it a more friendly atmosphere, since you keep seeing the same folks whenever you play, but fewer people usually means it's harder to find a game other than Texas Hold'em during non-peak hours.
The interface and the “play” of Poker Metro is consistent, the number of seats at a table varies from 2 for 1 on 1 Hold'em, to 8 seats for 5 and 7 card stud and 10 players to each Texas/Omaha Hold'em, tables. The lobby allows you to view open tables, by the type of game. Each game list allows you to view the stakes for the game, the number of people playing and when relevant and the number of people waiting to play. You'll be able to choose the betting limits you're comfortable with. Texas Hold'em stakes range from $.50/$1 to as much as a $50/$100 table. Once your in there, you'll see a table and chairs - but only names for players, not Avatars (people) like at most poker rooms.
Poker Metro is part of the Prima Poker network and also the well-established Microgaming family. Prima Poker, the World's Biggest Online Player Network, brings together players from dozens of poker rooms around the world to play in one seamless network. So you know right from the start

Customer support is important to me as things
in the online world inevitably go wrong. The Poker room shares the same
support as the casinos attached to it, so there is always someone on the
phone 24/7, and even though for big technical issues, the support has
to contact the Prima network (why the player cant contact Prima
Poker direct, I dont know) you usually have any questions resolved
within a 24hour time frame.
Tournaments at Poker Metro are a multi-table tournament platform. The site player traffic is shooting through the roof. They offer daily freerolls starting at $200 and going up to
$3000 (Although you must have played in at least 50raked hands to qualify
for this one) They also run a couple of daily satellites that feed a big
end of month tournament, where the prize is usually flights and entry
fee into a major land based tourney (yes, were talking the World
Series of Poker or many of the WPT). In summary because of the tournament spread at Poker Metro, the ring
games are getting better by the minute and the money is flowing right into my pocket.
