How to Get Started in 4 Easy Steps:
Software Summary
The William Hill Poker software is full-feature and offers pretty much all the functionality players are used to in online poker, meaning it runs fast and smooth with good playability.
The latest update of the software has also added some very useful features, like special icons for shorthanded play and turbo tables.
The tournament lobby has also been vastly improved from William Hill’s early days. All in all, the software won’t blow you away, but it’s more than adequate.
Statistics
Stats functions allow for notes during play, and the lobby supplies vital table stats like viewed-flop percentage, average pot size, seated-player’s stack size and hands played per hour.
Note-taking at the table works better than a lot of other poker sites by having the input window by the player on the table, which works nicely.
Players can also see the most recent hand in a graphic interface right at the table; complete hand histories are also available by request
Hand histories are very easy to work with in the built-in interface, though the ones received by request tend to be a little harder to analyze.
Multi-Table
Overall the William Hill software runs quite well and can handle multiple tables without bogging down.
Unfortunately the windows are not resizable, but there are two modes so multi-tabling is still an option.
Graphics
The graphics at WilliamHill aren’t the best in the industry for sure, with somewhat crude 3D graphics and avatars, of which you can select from 10 different options.
That being said though, the animations and sounds are all good, with plenty of customization options..
Overall, graphics aren’t its strongest feature but not an obstacle to enjoying the action.
Special Features
The table selection menu has a quick search function which quickly helps you find the type of game that you want.
There’s also a full-screen mode that allows you to focus solely on your poker tables, which can be quite helpful when you just can’t say no to another youtube video with dogs wearing silly hats and walking backwards.
Another great software feature are the table stats which give you detailed statistical information on how you have been playing with clarity and depth that exceed the competition’s similar features.
