Lock Poker
Signing up to play poker on Lock is very simple. All you have to do is go to the Lock Poker website and download the software. Once you have finished your download, you can open up the browser and run the software on your computer. After the download is complete, you can create an account and get to the tables. Before you do get to the tables, you should look at bonus information. Lock Poker offers a 200% up to $4,000. This is a bonus that really allows you to get going in the right direction. The more you play on Lock, the bigger bankroll boost you will receive. Points and the bonus will clear in $5 increments, and be released automatically into your real money player's account.
Bonus & Vip Program
The VIP program at Lock is one of the best around, and may only be second to Pokerstars as far as perks. The great perks that Lock offers include points for cash, points for tournament buy-ins, and possible free seats in poker tournaments. The VIP program offers high points multipliers and once you hit the higher tiers of the VIP program, you will have most cash outs done at a very fast rate.

Lock Poker Software
The software on Lock Poker is compatible with PC's and Mac's and you should never have a problem with whatever computer you look to play poker on in the future. A solid feature of Lock Poker and something that you will hear very frequently is that the layout of Lock is very nice. The black exterior for Lock Poker allows it to be appealing to the eye as well as easy to find what you are looking for. There is nothing confusing about using Lock Poker. It is very similar to how the layout of Full Tilt Poker was a couple of years ago except the background is all black.
Network & Player Traffic
The player traffic varies throughout the day, but the best time to play is certainly at night. Lock reaches close to 10,000 players at night and often times more. The worst time to play is late in the morning and nearing the early afternoon. There are only regular players seated then and games are very difficult. The peak time throughout the week as far as player traffic is always Sunday. The reason is because of the massive tournaments. If you look to find the most fish online at once, play in some tournaments on Sunday afternoons.

Cash Games
The cash games at Lock Poker have been booming with tough new players coming in every day, and the atmosphere of the games has been thriving. The lower stakes is where you will find the majority of the players with only a handful sitting in the high stakes cash games. Lock is part of the Revolution Gaming Network, and there are not a ton of networks paired with Lock, but the games have remained tough. Every low stakes cash game you will sit in will most certainly have good regular players seated with you. These games are beatable, but they are very tough. There is a learning curve when you first start playing that you have to be accustomed to or you will not have immediate success.
Tournaments
The tournaments on Lock Poker are still very good compared to every site, but the nightly tournament or two is where you will find some solid cash. The daily tournaments have all regular players seated, and you will almost never want to play in them. The games are tough and you will not maximize what you can make per day. The best day for Lock Poker tournaments is Sunday as for most sites. The biggest tournaments are all on Sunday, and you can put a ton of cash into buy-ins on Sunday. Lock turns into a bigger site on Sundays and there are plenty of great tournaments to choose from including the $100,000 guarantee.
Sit and Go's
The sit and goes on Lock aren't anything too spectacular. If you are a heads up sit and go player, this is one of the only games you will find. The heads up sit and go games have tons of bad players and can be very profitable at the lower limits. The higher up you go in limits the more break even the games become.
Customer Support
The customer support on Lock Poker isn't the best in the poker industry, but the customer support team does serve its purpose. If you are looking to deposit funds, they do a good job with that. If you are looking to withdraw funds, you will also have no trouble. The support team is available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week for you. Virtually any time of the day you can have a question answered in almost an instant.
