"Alternative" poker rooms

I would recommend partypoker right now if there are no restrictions for your country. Bovada and Bodog have had some suspicious pasts if I remember correctly.

playing FR, you will have to stick to stars.

Thanks, anduke. A long time ago, Pp was a great place to play along with Stars.

Nowadays, I don't know. The only thing that I've noticed is that, for micro FR, Pp has 1/2 of the traffic that we can found on 888.

Is the player pool softer on PartyPoker?

No, many regs hangin' around there, and there are only few tables available. Even if it hurts and we both know that Fullring is the cooler version, nowadays you kinda have no other choice than switching to shorthanded. But even there it isn't that great and PP has the big disadvantage that you cannot see in forehand which players are sitting at the tables. But at least rakeback is okayish, which can't be claimed about PS.

Really, Pokamon? There isn't a reasonable FR traffic anywhere else?

Thanks.

I tried 888 Poker and PokerStars. PokerStars has a lot more people online 24/7. In my opinion you have to sit on the right tables. There are often tables filled with regs but sometimes you find a table with 3-4 fishes. I have not seen a single table with 2+ fishes on 888 Poker. Maybe I was the fish tough?! ;-) Just my 2 cents to this discussion.

Are you trolling? Even on NL100 you will find there enough fish.

So is it your main site? Softness can't even be compared to Stars or partypoker? Just curious, unfortunately I can't even play on 888

I play on 888, Pokerstars and iPoker.

And how ipoker comperes to PS and 888?
Regarding the action?

You can check the traffic stats from: https://www.pokerscout.com/

Stars absolutely has the highest volume. The volume seems to be roughly 10 times higher than 888 and iPoker is even worse.

I just started playing on iPoker and the fast poker tables are totally dead. You can play NL5 fast and NL20 fast but other limits are not running. And even in NL20 fast you have about 40 guys playing in the pool so the tables won't be full always.

I think 888poker is a good choice for MTT's micro. I never played cash there but MTT micro field is confortable to rise up, instead many promotional frerolls.

nice webside https://www.pokerscout.com/ < - Worldwide Online Poker Sites Traffic Report

Pokerscout doesn t have accurate data for all sites, which is good and bad at the same time.
Whenever a site becomes known as a fishy site, the odds of pros and semi pros migrate to that site and kill all the action increase a lot, IMHO.

Anyone an idea if Unibet is an interesting site to go to?

(In Belgium we do not have too many options. Next to Pokerstars, only 4 smaller pokersites are legal: unibet, ladbrokes, bwin and goldenpalace...)
