1. Which game type you play? Cashgame

2. Which limit do you play? NL10

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

4. How much do you play? 4h/day

5. How many tables do you want to play? 10-12

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

Been playing sng:s for 7 years but im giving up now. Not even ipoker has any traffic and they are to reginfested even at the low levels.

Would prefer a site with flat rakeback due to the low level im starting at.

Thanks

Anders

There aren't many sites that offer flat rakeback, I think.

Unibet is one and they have supposably good traffic on NL10. Most of the tables are anonymous, though.

Unibet belongs to Microgaming network I believe and Microgaming has literally 0 traffic for FR games, unfortunately.

Hi MrSokrates,

I would suggest you play at Cake Poker.

They have 36% flat rakeback and great traffic for FR NL10.

The software is easy to multi table too.

Best of luck

Callum

Hi Imimba1

First of all

_biggrin:

A+ for the video!

As for where you should play, I think for a micros player its best to try and get a flat rakeback room. Since its hard to generate enough rake to really benefit from a VIP system.

For that reason I would suggest playing at Unibet.

They offer 30% flat rakeback and a €1k first deposit bonus that adds 20%!

This means you will be getting some awesome returns while clearing the FDB.

The games are also super soft with plenty of action!

Best of luck

Callum

hello, i want some advice on choosing poker room

1. Which game type you play?No limit cash games

2. Which limit do you play? NL20, trying to play NL50

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

4. How much do you play? i generate 50-100Eu/week

5. How many tables do you want to play? I usually play 2-3 tables

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months? i want to get rank with pokerstrategy, so i can improve my game

Right now i'm playing at microgaming site "triobet", but i need poker room associated with pokerstrategy to get rank. And i want to make profit from first deposit bonus. Right now i'm thinking about pokerstars, because i can clear bonus without much trouble.

Also i want your opinion, if it worth to change poker room and loose all players database(prolly decrease winrate) to get deposit bonus? I havent deposited to any poker room so thats looks pretty exciting to me.

Hi Tombic,

We have offers for Microgaming if you are happy to stay there. This means that you will still have your stats on players :)

The room I suggest is Unibet and they offer 30% flat rakeback and a €1k first deposit bonus that clears at 20%!

Let me know if thats ok

Regards

Callum

Hello CallumN,

I'm acctually choosing between unibet and pokerstars, so you hit to one of them :)
But pokerstars gives 6 month to clear FDB, so i can clear it playing same ammount and limits as i do now. On unibet i can clear only 200-300 per 2months.
Right now FDB would increase my bankroll by huge ammount, but i'm unsure whats better. Play softer games with more fishes and better rakeback on unibet or chase after FDB on pokerstars?

Also, what do you mean i'll keep all my stats on unibet? Do i play on "triobet" with players who logged from "unibet"?

thanks for advice

Hey,

I made a small mistake, the tables at Unibet below NL50 are Unibet exclusive. So you wont be playing the same players as you were on Triobet.

I think its fine though as it will only take you a hundred hands or so to find out where the fish are

In terms of where is best to play. At unibet you will get 30% from this VIP system alone! This already beats the PokerStars VIP system + First deposit bonus.

Both are still great options but you will get the best returns and find the softest games at Unibet

Regards

Callum
