Hey spidey1978

the traffic at pkr is around 10k at peak hours, a decent proportion of which will be at the SNG tables.

Regards,
Luke

1. Which game type you play? (No limit? Sit & Go? MTT? PLO, Fixed Limit, Other?)

Fixed Limit

2. Which limit do you play? (example: NL25, SNG $11, FL .50/1)

$0.10/$0.20

3. Short handed or full ring tables, or even Heads-Up?

I assume Full Ring is what is taught in the Strategy Articles here.

4. How much do you play? (e.g. I play 3 hours a week, or I generate $1000 rake/month)

5-10 hours a week

5. How many tables do you want to play?

1-4

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months?

Play regularly

Note: My PokerStars account is not attached to PokerStrategy. Otherwise this would be a no-brainer question.

Hey Navrark

I'm assuming that you're wanting decent traffic with a tracked account so I recommend the Ipoker network. You should be able to find full tables at most parts of the day there. Good luck

Regards,
Luke

Hi Legand, thanks for the response!

One more query if I may... If I were to play at PokerStars, would the money I save on rake at PS vs Titan be enough to pay for me to buy strategy points? It just looks discouraging you know, to have to pay for what someone else gets for free. But I am looking at a rake comparison and it seems that on some stakes the rake is the same at Titan and then the next stake it will be higher than PS. Anyway, hopefully you can answer that off the top of your head, lol.

Hey Navrark

Ahh sorry I couldn't tell you off the top of my head now. I understand your discouragement yes but unfortunately nothing can be done. Thanks to acetbfish you can work out how often you need to play so that rake covers it.

One thing you could try, it obviously depends on how often you play but if you mix up your play so that you get tracked enough points to sort your desired status from the strategy points from the tracked account and then once that is completed play at stars. It obviously all depends on several factors, and i'm sorry if this ^^ isn't a viable option for you. Hope I helped

Regards,
Luke

Having both clients open at the same time. It's a great idea!

I'm interested in Titan, especially now that I hear they have anonymous tables. Thanks again!

Hi. I have already used my first deposit bonus on Pokerstars, fulltilt, partypoker and titan poker. I am a SNG grinder and want to move onto another site to grind out the first deposit bonus.

1. Which game type you play? (No limit? Sit & Go? MTT? PLO, Fixed Limit, Other?)
SNG

2. Which limit do you play? (example: NL25, SNG $11, FL .50/1)
2$ ( I am not sure if I should move up to 5$. 20% rake is quite high on the 2$ games)

3. Short handed or full ring tables, or even Heads-Up?
6 max

4. How much do you play? (e.g. I play 3 hours a week, or I generate $1000 rake/month)
I usually play at least 8+ hours per day.

5. How many tables do you want to play?
Anywhere from 12-30+. As many as the site will allow without software/computer lagging.

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months?
I want to grind out the deposit bonus on this site and move onto another, while constantly improving my game and moving up stakes.

Hey Necrophagist,

If you are rolled for the $5 games then you should definitely move up! Seeing as you already have an account on the iPoker Network and PokerStars I am going to recommend William Hill

It is widely regarded as having the best VIP system on the iPoker Network and is on the top tier of the network also. On top of that, $1 rake is worth 5 StrategyPoints here at PokerStrategy!

Traffiic should be the very same as on TitanPoker as it is all part of the iPoker Network :)

Hope this helps!
Gary.

That is a personal choice at the end of the day but it is generally recommended to have 50-75 buy-ins for the micros :)

Hey Mon3yMaChin3,

Do you hold any accounts at any of our partner rooms already or is it just PokerStars? Is your PokerStars account tracked or not?

When you say 50k is that hands or?

Hey again Mon3yMaChin3,

As you prefer fast fold games I would highly recommend William Hill Poker

It's fast fold variant "Speed Poker" is very popular and has very good traffic at NL5 almost all of the day. It is also available in 6 max which is very important to you.

William Hill also has a very good VIP system and First Deposit Bonus!

Regards,
Gary.
