dude, 888 poker is sweet, I'd still be playing it now if I could have got rakeback.

I'm guessing William Hill will be chosen for you, I'm on it at the moment.

Average games (not as soft as 888 but not as tough as Poker Stars) about the same level as Full Tilt used to be, a tiny bit softer maybe.

Sweet ass 200% welcome bonus which is very easy to clear, its the easiest of any welcome bonus. No rakeback but the bonus more than makes up for that.

Decent traffic at your stakes, but the tournaments are pretty shocking. So long as you don't care about MTTs its a great site.

Hi, I'm a rank beginner who just completed the quiz. Trying to decide between the 3 places I can choose the free $50.

Choices are:
Titan Poker
Everest Poker
Poker 770

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

NL2 (0.01/0.02)

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

Follow a solid system 100% during this time, while learning as fast as possible.

I was on Everest and did not like the software. Now I am playing on WPT. Pokerstars has the best software but the opponents are tough. I lost my 20 USD roll there.

I would say the general standard is the toughest I have witnessed. The good thing is that because there is so much traffic, you can cherry pick the best games.

So yes the games are the toughest imo but with good game selection you can still find some fish :P.

I would say though, from my own personal experience, PartyPoker seemed super soft.

Hi malogar,

For a player looking for good rakeback and FDB Unibet will be a great option.

They have 30% flat RB as well as tournament plus.

They also have a €1000 FDB that clears in addition to the 30%

Best of luck!

Callum

All 3 rooms will be very similar for a player starting with the free $50.

The only thing that would make a difference is the higher traffic at Titan/Poker770.

I would go for Poker770 first of all and wait till you have a bigger bankroll to take advantage of the awesome first deposit bonus on Titan.

Good luck grinding and congrats on passing the test

Hi ramadas,

Sorry to hear about you losing your roll at PokerStars, Its true the players there are pretty good!

I would suggest you try out William Hill, they have lots of soft games running at 2nl and some small MTT's for you to play aswell.

Better luck at William Hill!

Callum

Have asked this before but situation change a bit.

1. Which game type you play? NL

2. Which limit do you play? SH NL10 / HUSNG $3

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

4. How much do you play? 8-10 hours/week

5. How many tables do you want to play? SH 2/3, HUSNG 1

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months? I want to try HU. I will spend a part of my bankroll and time to make this a sort of site-event. Keep playing SH on Stars so HU must be on another room. Thinking to make a account on Ipoker for this. But don't know how the traffic there is on the HUSNG.

Hi Michel2311,

I think you would enjoy playing on Unibet, They have lots of traffic for NL10 and when I have played the HU SNG's there was always a few tables going for €3.

They also offer a €1000 first deposit bonus along with 30% flat rakeback!

Best of luck at the tables

Callum

2-3hours a day

5. How many tables do you want to play?
since I am starting 2 or 3, but eventually closer to the 8 or 10 mark

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months?
Improve my pokergame, and make some money in the process.

I made the mistake of signing up for Pokerstars, and Partypoker without using the code! (Didn't know it matter, haha I can be oblivious sometimes!) I got an email from Partypoker support saying I can't redeem a welcome bonus with WPT either, but I don't know if that means the code will jsut not work or my account wil get shut down. I tried poker 770, and realy didn't like the software, in fact, i really liked the Pokerstars and Partypoker software. If you could clarify the WPT issue that woud be great. Otherwise I am not sure what else to try!

I have been playing at pokerstars and killed the singletable sng's at $1.5 and small winrate at the $3.5 and tried the 18mans and loving them so far.... however i would like to get tracked so i can unlock some new content and not sure where to go

Problem is i have a few accounts on some other rooms already, from which i can remeber partypoker, 888, titan and paddypower.

I just looked on my profile settings and it says i am being correctly tracked by pokerstars but I am not receiving any strategy points so guess this is not true?

I would choose 888 Poker. You have good traffic on NL2 FR, a lot of fishes. Only bad thing is rakeback, but you want rake to much on NL2 anyway.

Be supernova by December and Supernova Elite in 2013.
(If i remain at pokerstars).

Which room, to begin at the .10/.25 level.
I am Australian based , so can play on any network.

RE: Going for Supernova elite in 2013,, how much of a difference, does my vip level at commencement on January 1st make,
For example starting in January 2013 as silver gold vip as opposed to being supernova already.
(If i remain at pokerstars).

Cheers

Hi Chowchow12,

You should still be able to get the first deposit bonus at WPT Poker.

They would be the site I would recommend if you liked the Party software :)

Good luck!

Hi Danjef,

I would suggest playing at WPT Poker.

They are on the same network as Party and also offer the same FDB of $500.

I looked just now (11 in the morning) and there are plenty of FR SNG's going. The 30/45 mans were a bit quiet but that is to be expected at this time.

Let me know if you have any questions

Callum
