those are CAP tables, aren't they? I was asking about 20-100bb tables, not just 20bb

HI, Im going to be moving between $500/1K to a secondary room, looking for good bonus and RB if possible. Bonus is most important though.

I have already accounts on Stars/Everest/PKR/Party/William Hill/Poker Heaven.

Speedy cashouts are important and would prefer instant to neteller however I can utilise Stars for my cashouts so not the end of the world if they arent instant.

What sites do you recomend (exc Ipoker as I just dont like it)

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

NLJE

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

NL25/NL50/NL100

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

50/50 FulllRing and 6 max

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

approx 60k hands a mont, c/ $1500 rake on average

5. How many tables do you want to play?

mostly 6, sometimes 9

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

Will keep most of my money on Stars and site hop a bit for bonuses.

Hi XandreW36,

The best room for you is going to be William Hill. They have plenty of games running between NL10-NL20, depending on what stake you want to play.

They also offer a first deposit bonus of 200% up to $2000. This clears at a good rate and combined with the VIP system will offer good rewards.

Good luck at the tables!

Hi Hackett77,

The room that will offer the best bonus is going to be Unibet. They offer 30% flat rakeback and a €1000 first deposit bonus. The FDB clears at around 19% and the great thing is, it is not deducted from your rakeback. So while you are clearing the FDB you will be getting 49% rakeback!!!

Hope this suits your requirements, best of luck

Thanks Callum, THis does sound good but I do play a little on microgaming and I think its hugely high variance given the nutcases that play there.

I may go there but any other options?

Hi Paul

The next best option would be on Everest. The traffic will be a bit less than on Microgaming though.

They do have a good first deposit bonus for $1000 that clears at up to 49%.

From what others have said the software is easy enough to use and the games are pretty soft too.

I think it will be a good alternative to Unibet :)

Thanks Callum. Ive had already had an account at Everest so I lll consider Unibet. WHat do you think about 888 or Cake?

The downsides with 888/cake are the lower first deposit bonus's.

Cake could be a viable option when you consider the 33% rakeback ontop of the first deposit bonus.

This would then be worth around 54% with the first deposit bonus and 33% rakeback combined.

I would need to confirm what the traffic is like on Cake, as its a network I haven't played on personally.

Nope, the buy-in is 20BB-200BB.
The problem is, as I said, that the tables are always empty, whenever I had a look.

Hi Carrapa,

First of all, congratulations on your grind from $10! well played _biggrin:

The best room for you to play at with your new bankroll will be William Hill. They have 4nl in $/€/£ with games running regularly.

They also have a 200% first deposit bonus up to $2000. So if you deposit $100 you will qualify for a $200 deposit bonus!

Good luck on your way to 100nl, at this rate you will be there in no time!!!

Callum

Thanks, I hope so

I forgot to tell you that I've played a couple weeks on poker770 (ipoker network) and it was the worst period in my poker "career". I hated the software, the fishes were always winning the 5% river, and the support just copied and pasted from the FAQs. And btw, the traffic is similar to partypoker in FR games right?

Hi Carrapa,

Sorry to hear about your bad times at Ipoker

If you don't like the William Hill software then PartyPoker would be the next best choice.

Forgetting pokerstars, FR is pretty difficult to find good tables at poker rooms.. Too bad I can't play SH profitable _mad:

Hi, I recently moved to Central America and will depend a lot on my poker income. I have an account at PStars mostly playing 25nl 6max and feel that maybe it would be better try a few other sites clear bonuses and move back to grind on Stars at a higher stake. Just spent a 100k hand break-even stretch at PStars so bonuses and RB are quite important.
