Resumo (Rated 7 out of 10)
Littlewoods Poker has enough players and tables that you can find a game any time. The software has various designs you can choose from, a standard variety of poker variants and most importantly... a lot of really bad opponents at the low to mid-stakes tables!

Seleção de Jogos (Rated 7 out of 10)
Tournament players will only find No-Limit, Fixed-Limit, and Pot-Limit Hold'em games. Most of the tournaments have a rather small buy-in which should catch the eye of most small stakes players. The payout structures are decent enough. Their Sit'n'Goes are offered at a wide range of buy-ins starting from $0.50 up to $750 for the high stakes players. One can also find a lot of 'fast' ring games including some offering a bad beat and royal flush jackpots. In addition to Hold'em, cash game players can select from Omaha and Seven-Card Stud games and their Hi/Lo variants.

Qualidade dos Jogadores (Rated 4 out of 10)
The main reason to play at Littlewoods Poker is definitely the lack of good players. Unfortunately, this is more so the case for low stakes players then the high rollers, but a solid player should be able to make some profit and find a home at Littlewoods for some time. In most of the games you will find opponents making strange, and often therefore bad, decisions. They will bet or raise ridiculous amounts on every street and then wonder why they lost the hand, or are happy to a bad beat on you with their strange play. Of course one can expect to find some opponents that play well, but these players are easy to detect and avoid.

Software (Rated 6 out of 10)
The Littlewoods software definitely has its ups and downs. On the one hand they offer several different table designs, but the color scheme is a pain in the ass. Those who love avatars have a great variety to choose from, but due to the fact that avatars can be distracting I found that I preferred to turn them off. Unfortunately, you do not get any warning when you are running out of time to make a decision, which can be very annoying if you are trying to play at multiple tables.
The software itself runs smooth, but some players have reported some graphical issues where they cannot see their hole cards or one of the cards dealt on the flop. Usually this problem solves itself if you just fold your hand, but you can also use the 'tile' option to re-arrange your table layout, after which the bugged cards will display properly. Littlewoods Poker also offers a very good Support and Cashier lobby. Most of the time there is no wait to speak with a customer support representative using their 'Live Chat' support, but probably wont use it because the cashier lobby is incredibly easy to use.

Gráficos (Rated 7 out of 10)
As mentioned above, the color scheme used at Littlewoods can be disturbing for some people. Players can choose between a few different tables, backgrounds, avatars, and deck designs, and there are options for almost every other feature used by other poker rooms, such as using a four-colored deck, the possibility to hide avatars, etc. The lobby offers some game filters, but if you are a cash game player that likes full-ring games it can be a bit bothersome to find your tables. This is because there are only filters for heads-up and six-max tables. A full-ring player has to find his tables amongst all the other kinds of tables since there is no 'full-ring' filter. Apart from that, the lobby has an easy-to-understand structure that makes it easy for every player to find what they is looking for.

Lucratividade (Rated 8 out of 10)
When signing-up at Littlewoods Poker you receive a 100% up to £200 bonus. You will also receive 25% of your deposit bonus instantly! As for the '£', you read it correctly, Littlewoods Poker only offers accounts in Great Britain Pounds, but it is converted to American Dollars as soon as you join the tables. Due to the lack of good players, this site should be one of the places to go to boost your bankroll as it is far easier to make money here compared to other poker sites. They also have a loyalty program for those that are interested, though it doesn't stand up against many of the other loyalty programs offered by other poker rooms. Low to mid-stakes players will profit the most from playing at Littlewoods, these players will find lots of bad opponents at the cash game tables, and a lot of smaller buy-in tournaments with good structures and payouts!
