Traffic

Sun Poker’s traffic is shared as they are part of the I-Poker Network, during peak hours they generate anywhere from 10,000 to 30,000+ players online simultaneously. You can find from 8000 – 24,000 players in the multi-table tournaments and Sit & Go’s while the other 2000 – 6000 are playing cash ring games. The traffic mostly ranges from low to mid limits so finding a high stakes game can be difficult.

Competition

The low to mid stakes cash games, tournaments and Sit & Go’s can be very loose and you will often see flop percentages of 70% or more. High stakes games are hard to come by especially at off peak times; if you do manage to find one you can expect the competition to be tougher with very low flop percentages.
