Choosing the right Poker Room for you!

You have a lot of options here in order to increase your winrate.

I'd recommend William Hill again here because it's a) fishier than 888poker imo and b) raking $4k/month will get you nicely embedded in their VIP system and if you use that wisely you'd get up to 48% (maybe slightly more...) rakeback as well as placing in our Top250 promo for about $200 - $250.

You have lots of other options as well though - let me know what's important for you and we can discuss them further!

Hey,

I'm afraid William Hill isn't an option for me since Estonian players aren't allowed at iPoker due to the Playtech office located here (300 m from my appartment, yikes...).

Meanwhile I ordered €100 worth of poker books from Amazon and try to take my game to a new lever. Let's see what happens.

Hey fuzzyfish,

Sorry for suggesting something that's no good for you

To make it up to you, I'm going to sit down with our Market Analysis team and come up with a new offer asap

--M

1.Which game type you play? (No limit? Sit & Go? MTT? PLO, Fixed Limit, Other?)

Mainly NLHE, with occasional PLO, HILO4

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

nl4, PLO4/HILO4 and occsionally nl10 as a shot.

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

75/25 split nl4 FR/6max with nl10 shots

4. How much do you play? (e.g. I play 3 hours a week, or I generate $1000 rake/month)

Around 4-5 hrs a day and from 2 tables to the max for the site (10).

There is no rakeback at nl4, it starts at nl10. Rake is capped at 10c at nl2/nl4
Current BR = $290

I play this site because it's so fishy at micros and I feel some loyalty as I started there with zero in freerolls about 4 yrs ago. I would like to move because it's not tracked. My tracked games are on Party and William Hill but only few dolllars on each [like about $20 ish].
I dont want to split my BR up too much but I want to be able to get to gold on P.S!
I don't care a jot about whistles and bells, just fish and money. On William Hill I find hard to multitable.

Help please?

sry it's long.

PKR is for sure fishy because of the 3d software, but there isn't as much traffic as there is at PartyPoker.

pkr is probably the softest site i have tried. pretty difficult to multitable though. the tables get too small for me to see. also i need to keep peeking at my hole cards because they are face down even for you (like at a real table). its really fun though (try the chicken dance ) and did i mention really really soft? recreational players mostly as can be expected.

1. NL BSS

Hey CheckBop,

How much are you playing? If you know how much you rake/month and how many tables you play usually, that's great information!

I wouldn't be able to tell you as have not been at these stakes very long. I aim to play 25-30K hands a month mostly at NL25 atm but on the verge of the move to NL50. I play 4-6 tables.

I would like relatively soft tables as well as a nice first deposit bonus that a good chunk can be cleared at this volume/stakes.

Thanks,

Check.

Have you tried the Anonymous tables at Microgaming? They run reguarly at most small/medium stakes and if you mix 50/100 you can easily get 8 tables. The standard of play is very bad and there are very little regs.

You get a monthly 30% loyalty bonus at Unibet.

If you use the link provided above you are also eligible for a $1k first deposit bonus.

Hey Check,

I think perhaps the anonymous tables at Unibet or Ladbrokes might be an option for you as well, but Betfair could also be an option here as well. You'd be looking at an additional 40% in rakeback equivalent when depositing using the first depostit bonus, as well as soft tables, software that easily handles 6 tables of cash game with good traffic.

Does that help?

@fuzzyfish -- I also think the Betfair offer (see post above) might be the best for you in Estonia.

@gadget51 - for small/micro stakes NLH, PartyPoker and William Hill both have a lot going for them and I'd see no reason to move from those. If you're struggling to multitable on ipoker, I think you'd find PartyPoker more agreeable and hopefully you'll soon reach gold status!

Just sign up with Poker770, easy 16tabling FTW!

HI i play SNGs 3 $ at party poker, fullring, my BR is mostly somewhere between 40 and 60 BI and i'm a casual player, on average maybe 10 games/week and usually 4-6 tabling. And a few MTTs from time to time. it's important for me that tables fill up quickly. I did not play for some time, but with the recently lowered rake, is party poker a good option?

Ty Marc.

Hello I'm a sng player mainly but am interested in learning BSS. I want to have a separate BR for it. I'm probably starting with $50 on NL2 playing from 2 to 6 tables.

Which do you think would be a good room for this project? Pokerstars is out of the question because they have discontinued my account's affiliation with pokerstrategy.

I need a room that has reasonable rake! How's party?

PartyPoker is a good option here for sure, especially now that they lowered the rake on the $3 games -- therefore making them more beatable, of course.

You might also consider one of our Ongame partners where there's also a lot of fishy traffic and games will fill up quickly. Your options therefore would be EuroPoker, bwin or Betfair.

I think it's relatively close, but for a purely recreational player, I'd recommend sticking with PartyPoker.

hi i grind turbo and superturbo full table sng

I normally open 6 -10table in the same time on 10 -30 dollar buyin level

sometimes i will open different site and play in the same times

I opened an account in pokerheaven which is sooooo disappointed because
there is no fullring sng table in a whole day! i register the sng and wait a whole day, but nobody come to play with me!

currently i also have ps and ip account, but there aren't many games in ip network.
I don't know maybe i will check out 888 or party .

Any of our free $50 partners have enough traffic and reasonable rake for this kind of project.

It then comes down to personal choice. If you're already considering PartyPoker, you certainly won't be disappointed.

Hey david,

I think that Betfair or Europoker are your options here, and perhaps you could mix in some games on PartyPoker.

For Betfair, for example, you'd receive a bonus of up to $2,500, in addition to a great loyalty program for SNG players and fishy traffic.

on top of that, of course, there's our Ongame $50k Rake Race, where raking $1000 per month will typically get you 10% extra.

Does that help?

Hey Marc,

Where could I find all the promo that PS is running (Like Ongame 50k rake race) for all the diff rooms/network.

I guess it would help me out to find a room is I decide to change.

Thanks!

Hi Marc,

I'm 4-tabling NL200 on Stars but I'm kind of getting tired of all multitabling regs. I already started playing on PKR, with stars being my main playing site, but I'm probably switching to Party soon.
Also I'll be moving to NL400 soon.
Any suggestions?

I don't think there is an overview of that kind tbh Dublimax. Generally I would recommend here as the best way to see all the new promotions etc.

We have some main promo's however for our big rooms/networks, most of which I expect your already aware of:

$80,000 Top250 SP race

Ongame Points Race

Our PokerHeaven TV Championship

...as well as lots individual room rake races, raked hand races, chases, freerolls etc.

I appreciate the freerolls might not necessarily be your preferred game type though
