Mid level cash tables have almost the same number playing as the micro tables, where blinds are structured at $1/2, $2/4, $3/6, $5/10 and $10/20.
Higher entry players will see many others entering the fray enjoying $15/30, and $30/60. Much over that, the opposition thins.
Omaha and Stud players will find most of the action takes place at the levels below $5/10. Those who enjoy HORSE cash tables tend to play at the lower levels and you will have to pick your moments to see action on the HOSE and Razz tables.
At the table
There is a choice of three standard table layouts with each being fairly uncluttered and a wide selection of skins to tailor the view to your liking; plus you may go a stage further and customize the table by uploading a skin designed or held on your own computer. Up-loadable avatars allow all players to add some of their personality to the tables.
Tool bars at the table give player shortcuts to the lobby, cashier, hand history and a replay of previous hands. Plus an options tab allows players useful preferences including optional four color decks, rabbit cam, chat bubbles, hot keys and favorite seat position.
An unobtrusive side bar selects screen layout to cascade or 4×4, with an additional default screen size tab.

Plain action buttons allow players to place bets at pre-set amounts, they may also use the slider to increase bets, or may enter any bet amount in a text window (provided limits allow).
Common check boxes allow players to sit out, fold to any bet and auto-post their blinds. In-play check boxes give players the opportunity to pre-set a betting action if they make an early decision.
A circular timer clearly indicates the allowable time for players to make their decisions.
