Hi Gxtwo,

Your maths is spot on :) while clearing the FDB you will earn 44% rakeback

I'm playing NL10 SH Zoom (in the process of moving up to NL25, as I am rolled for it). I made it here playing on Stars but I wanna start clearing FDBs and playing on sites that have softer fields. With zoom I played ~2h/day 4tabling for 60k hands a month but if I'm gonna move somewhere else I will play 6-9 normal tables 2h/day.
I talked to some people and I'm thinking on moving to Everest or Unibet first, but I'm also wondering if you have any idea about the time it takes to clear the FDB on certain rooms. Also, I'm expecting suggestion of other good rooms with good FDB to clear!

Thanks a lot,
Bogdan.

regarding question How many tables do you want to play?

is that tables in a day or tables at a time?

Tables at a time. For example playing 4 tables at once or playing 6 table at once.

I'm looking to deposit $500 and grind some NL25. My preference would be rakeback and easy to clear bonus, released in increments and of course, soft competition. I'm not expecting to get all this though. I'll be hoping to play around 20k hands per month. I'd also like 24 hour traffic, my sleep patterns are erratic.

Looking through the list of rooms available to me on this site, I can choose from Titan, bwin, EuroPoker, Unibet, Ladbrokes, PKR, bet365 or Betfred.

Hey, I'm planning to try my luck at the tables after the long break.

1. Which game type you play? No limit

2. Which limit do you play? Starting with NL to get back on tracks.

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

4. How much do you play? 2-4hours a day.

5. How many tables do you want to play? I play 3-4 tables

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

Start with MSS, earn enough money to move to BSS, keep playing with BSS on higher limits.

Beat NL2, NL 5 and NL 10.

P.S. Party Poker and PokerStars does not work for me anymore, so anything except those two.

Hey, I play PLO 25 SH at Everest currently but the action there is not great, games run only for 2-3 hrs a day at PLO 25, but the games are really soft with atleast 2 fish per table.
Thinking about moving some of my roll to Pokerstars as it has 24hr action and I can use my first deposit bonus too.
I play 2 hrs of PLO 25, 4-5 tabling everyday.

Is it a good move?

Hi Bogstratos,

I think you would enjoy play at Unibet.

They offer 30% flat rakeback, as well as a first deposit bonus up to €1000. The FDB adds 20% extra rakeback :)

Unibet also offer a fast poker client called BlazePoker that gets going at peak times.

Good luck

Callum

Hi JackxxRatt,

I would suggest trying out Titan Poker.

They offer one of the best first deposit bonuses. If you deposit $500 they will offer you a $1000 bonus that clears at around 52%. It also releases in $10 increments.

There is always traffic at 20nl too. No matter what time you play.

Good Luck

Callum

Hi Makrelion,

I would suggest playing at William Hill.

They have great traffic and some super fishy games. They also offer a first deposit bonus up to $2000 that adds a decent amount of rakeback to help get you started.

Good luck

Callum

I m playing on the R.I.P 888poker site and would like to cashout and try another site and FDB another site...
My question is which site is trustworthy + easy cashouts(week the most)
Thats my application :f_cool: :f_cool: :f_cool:

1. Which game type you play? NL

2. Which limit do you play? nl10

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

4. How much do you play? 2-3hours per session maybe 2 sessions a day

5. How many tables do you want to play? 8-12

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

My goals are to pass stakes asap and move to NL20-25 maybe higher always within my bankroll boundaries...
888poker has ultra soft games i would ask for that but who wouldnt!!
I tried 770 site and cleared the FDB so this is out of the conversation

Hi Autheking,

Is your PokerStars account tracked to PokerStrategy?

If not I would suggest playing at PartyPoker so you can continue to earn SP's.

They have good action for PLO25 and the games will generally be softer then that on Stars.

Let me know.

Callum

Hi Firebullgr,

I think the best place for you will be Unibet.

They have a great first deposit bonus up to €1k that adds a extra 20%. They also offer 30% flat rakeback too.

When you couple this with the soft games, great software and fast cashouts I think it would be perfect for you :)

Thanks for the Flash Gordon answer _biggrin: _biggrin: _biggrin:
Whats with the traffic in that platform!?
And how many tables are allowed in cash games i mean multitabling

Your welcome Firebullgr

The traffic is decent on Unibet, there will be 20+ tables most of the time. The only time it dips below this is during offpeak times, even then you can still get 6 tables easily.

I believe they have just changed it to a 12 table cap on Unibet. It used to be 10.

If you dont currently have a Stars account then you can sign up through us via this link.

Thats good news, so now you can still earn strategy points to keep getting access to our videos and strategy content

He asked for FR tabels if I am not mistaking. On Unibet there is no action on FR tables.

Ah my bad I forgot to take that into account. Thanks for pointing that out Sholja!

In that case I would suggest playing at Party Poker. They will have good traffic for fullring.

They also have a $500 first deposit bonus that will add 33% extra rakeback!

let me know what you think

Callum
