Thanks for the reply Callum.

With regards to PLO10 - if I'm just playing evenings and weekends and am able to top up my BR(so to speak) would $500 be fine for PLO10 on Party?

Also are there as many mass multi-tablers on Party as there are on Stars?

I don't think traffic will be much of a problem since I'll be playing evenings(I live in London) so that should definitely coincide with the more rec players in Europe etc :)

Hi Skraggy,

I think $500 is fine for PLO10. 50 buy ins is a decent bank roll management.

If you deposit $500 at Party you will also get a $500 first deposit bonus that adds 33% rakeback while you get started!

I honestly cant say how many multi tablers there are. There are always going to be regs.

I would say that there will be more fish on Party though.

Let me know if you have any other questions

1. Which game type you play? NL/PL Holdem

2. Which limit do you play? NL10

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

4. How much do you play? 2-3k hands a day

5. How many tables do you want to play? 6-12 6max tables at a time

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months? 50NL or hopefully 100NL (ambitious!)

Currently on Party poker playing NL10 6max. It would seem mainly full of Tags and long waiting lists for any table with 1 fish. If anyone could confirm that I am right about it's reg ratio and I'm not imagining this???

Currently winning there and will soon clear deposit bonus but I think it might be more optimal to play elsewhere.

Any advice on the best place to go would be great! =)

Hi Cgoldie,

If you want a place with the softest games then Unibet is going to be best.

They have mostly Anon tables at 10nl but the games are insanely soft. They always have atleast one fish in the game.

Also your HUD will still work but only for that 'session'

You will also get a FDB for €1k that clears at 20%

This will be in addition to the 30% flat rakeback you will receive weekly.

Let me know what you think.

Best of Luck

Callum

That sounds great I will move my money once I clear my bonus over the weekend =).

Could you let me know how fishy Party is considered at the moment? I'm convinced it's 90%+ regs/Tags but I could be imaging it!

Party Poker is the tightest site I've played at, and that includes all the big ones.

Hi muumionu,

Sorry for the late reply!

If Unibet is not a option then I suggest playing at Betfair. They offer a great first deposit bonus up to $2500.

They also have some super soft games as they get a lot of traffic come over from their sports book.

A overview of the VIP system can be found here

Good luck!

Hi SherlockHolmes2ez,

A site with great traffic and good rakeback is CakePoker.

They offer a $2000 first deposit bonus and 36% flat rakeback! Also the Cake rake race + top 250 adds around 10% on top of that too!

Good luck!

Hi Z1pz0r,

If you are happy playing regulars then a account at Unibet would be great!

They use a King of the hill method so only 10 (I think) are available at a time.

This means you HAVE to play else you will lose your table. The only downside is they are anonymous.

You will also get a €1000 first deposit bonus when you sign up that clears at 20% aswell as 30% flat rakeback!

The software is really nice there and the traffic is decent too!

Best of luck

Hi HrabriLavek,

I agree that Unibet would be a good option for you. It is the best place to get 30% flat rakeback for a 2nl player.

With the anon tables, your tracking software will still work. It will track hands and you will see your results.

The only difference is, you will only have hands on a player for that session.

However for NL2 there is still plenty of traffic at the regular tables if you want to stick to those.

Good Luck

Callum

Hi Callum.

Going to move my roll to either 24hpoker or Pokerheaven. Which would you recommend for microstakes cash?

Thanks

Hey,

Both are very similar sites. They both offer 30% flat rakeback.

Personally I would suggest 24hPoker because now they have moved to Microgaming they have much nicer software.

Best of luck!
