Changing poker rooms for first deposit bonuses

Hey fellow countryman,

You are with FR pretty much in no man's land. Unless you play PS, PP and pacific networks you are rarely gonna find enough action for your limits. If we exclude peak time you are gonna have to combine a NL50-NL200 tables to get enough action to clear the bonuses. Mostly because this iPoker bonuses need about ~8k$ of rake to clear them. My suggestion to you currently would be if you plan to put serious volume this month definitely Betfair. If you make in this 20 days 8k$ of rake you are gonna earned ~91%RB with all their promos not to talk about PS rake race. I earned myself last month this 7,5k$ through their promos and also something from PS rake race and earned enough to live from it for a couple of months as you know who much you earn in our dear country.
If you looking for long term I would go with Titan. Also another option would be to find yourself a private deal(can maybe help you with that but this are not ultra FR sites so pm me if needed). Hope this helps!

I knew FR would be the biggest problem... I think i could play sh pretty decent, just would have to make a few readjustments, so if i could play fr i d play it but if there is no fr, then i guess it s finally time for me to start playing sh...

As for betfair, does the 91%RB (seriously 91%?) apply to next month? How much would i have to play? Also i assume i d have to have their highest vip status, or something to get all the rakeback they re offering, so is it achievable in a month (i would be looking to play NL100 but since i don t feel super comfortable playing SH i d maybe like to start with NL50)? Also, do you have any idea about table strength compared to party, are the regs better, is there more fish etc...

I have a few bonuses to clear on party, and also would like to get a bit of practice there first since i had my weakest volume month ever last month (missed diamond for the first time in like 15 months), so i feel a bit rusty, but if all this is true betfair seems like the place to begin.

hey thanks for the advice for poker rooms now I am playing WPT and poker770. WPT have a lot of traffic and I am pretty satisfied because there are always tables... but after NL100 I see always less table in FR...
Anyway my question is which ADJUSTMENTS you need to do passing from FR to SH.. there are some videos, articles in particular? thanks

Well, I really don't know for May. They continued with the promo in April some there might be a chance they continue as well in May. a The point is that Betfair put out a reward system that benefits low and mid raker. People how rake more already complained a bit. But I'm gonna show you how I made it. Let's say you are able to rake 8k$ in a month. You get 2k$ FDB + 2,5k$ Points to Cash Conversation + 3k$ From the Money Matrix Promotion. So as you can see it's 7,5k$ without PS rake race. You can generate less rake and still get a pretty decent RB %(most likely not 90 but 70 should still be doable). You should take a look in PS Betfair thread.
If you wanna stay on the Party Network why don't you just switch skins with Bwin or WPT? Microgaming and Ongame aren't really the place for FR. Cake should be fine just in peak times.
In general I also play NL50 SH I would say the strongest field(regs) is on Stars(play almost everywhere besides pacific) and the weakest IMO(again regs) is on Ongame. Also currently testing out PKR so can really give an estimation. Party and IPoker it's pretty much the same.
But again everything depends on your priorities, volume, format etc. Maybe something that's working for me might not be good for you. As I said if you need further information pm.

Edit: Btw. I forgot you have FT for FR.
