The only thing that's missing is HA (half PL Hold'em/Omaha) Sadly, there isn't the traffic to fill some of the more exotic games.
The best thing about Pinnacle Sports Poker is that you can switch to the Sportsbook (which offers some of the kindest odds on the web) if you have some loose change. There's also an expansive poker betting market.
Traffic
You can expect between 5,000 and 8,000 players online at Pinnacle Sports Poker during peak periods. No-Limit Hold'em and PLO are very well represented at low and mid stakes, although action dwindles above the €5/€10 level. From here, play is very much confined to heads up between regulars.
32 Card Draw seems to be soaring in popularity, and Pinnacle Sports Poker is a good place to get to grips with the game.
Rake
5% on low limit cash games, 5% on higher limit cash games (capped at €3 which is excellent), SnG rake starts at 10% on 6-max tables, and 5% on heads up SnG's, and improves to 3% at the €1000 SnG's, although these are very rarely populated.
Pinnacle Sports Poker adopts a no flop no drop policy
Competition
Soft. The Entraction/B2B network incorporates alot of betting websites (as well as Pinnacle), such as Parbet, Redbet and Circlebet, meaning you get alot of sports betters looking to fritter away chips. Low and mid stakes games are peppered with very loose maniacs and passive calling stations. Omaha games are easy to beat. With 30% flat rakeback paid daily into your account, establishing yourself as a winning player at Pinnacle isn't too taxing.
There are some heads up sharks at higher limits, so proceed with caution.
Support
There is an extensive FAQ and 24/7 email support, but sadly no live chat feature or telephone support. Email support isn't very hasty during off peak hours.
