5. How many tables do you want to play? currently playing 24 tables of FR, 9 for SH

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months? Reach at least NL 100 and maintain my winrate while playing a lot of tables :) Looking for a site with good rewards for high volume as well as soft players.

Hi Jayyroc,

Sick grinding! Im suprised you play 24 tables of FR then 9 on SH? I thought It might be a little more in SH. Is FR really that easy :P

If you want to keep playing over 9 tables I would suggest PartyPoker.

They have good software that is easy to multi table. As well as plenty of traffic. They also offer 4.5 strategy points per $1 of rake so with your volume you should be able to start earning 1 gemstone each month.

Good luck on your way to 100nl!!!

Hi Tombic,

Sorry to hear about the card issues. One thing I could recommend if you wanted to stay at PartyPoker would be to register for a Skrill/Moneybookers Account.

All poker sites offer this as a cashier method and they are very reliable from my own experience.

This means you can load money to your Skrill account with one of your cards and deposit on any network.

Let me know if you have any other questions

4. How much do you play? 25-30k hands/month

5. How many tables do you want to play? 4

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months? I would like room with decent software, easy to clear good part of FDB at this level(30BI aprox.) , and good trafic. Plan is to move towards NL50 also.

I do have accounts at Party and PKR already. Titan is not an option.

Thnx in advance.

Hi Doctorkgb,

From your requirements William Hill will be able to offer you the best deal.

They have good software for 4 tabling with lots of good games.

In regards to first deposit bonus they probably have the best to fit your criteria, As the deposit bonus is 200% this means that your deposit (30*25=$750) will allow you to clear a $1500 bonus.

You should be on your way to 50nl in no time!!!

Good luck

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months? Move up to NL20/NL25 (Dependant on room)

I'm currently at Stars playing NL10, $450 Bankroll. Would like to know the best room for some nice rakeback when I jump to NL25 :)

I have accounts at 888/Party/770 so no FDP bonus's there. If possibly I'd lke the top 3 rooms for me? ;)

Hi MattDenness,

I think the best place to play would be Unibet.

I would normally offer William Hill, but you only reap the full benefits of the VIP system with higher volume. Whereas with Unibet you will get 30% flat from the start.

Their software is very easy to use and the games are good.

They also have a good FDB up to €1K that clears at around 19% (for SNG players) This is not deducted from the 30% so will give a nice boost while you are clearing it :)

Good luck on your way to 25nl :)

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months? I have a 15 inches laptop so I cant multitable that much (to many missclickes). I m close to NL25 but I would love to stay on FR since I like it even it will be hard.The FDB is also important aswell as rakeback. Well now the problem I have PS. accounts Partypoker, William Hill and Ladbrokes.

Hi Sikac,

Looks like you have tried nearly everywhere :P

Going by your information I would suggest trying Betfair, They have around 10 tables of fullring going at the moment. However this is checking at mid-day and not peak times. So there will be plenty of games to choose from in the evening.

They also have up to a $2500 first deposit bonus that adds some extra rakeback.

Good luck crushing!

1. Which game type you play? NL

2. Which limit do you play? NL2

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

4. How much do you play? I don't really know, since my PS 50$ got stuck on full tilt, probably between 10k-20k/month

5. How many tables do you want to play? I'll start at 4, hoping to go around 10

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months? I was waiting for Full tilt to come back, but since it's so long I will buy another 50$ BR and with it I hope to be able to build a nice bankroll and playing at around NL25.

1 NL
2 NL 0.01/0.02 and 0.02/0.04, occasionally 0.05/0.10
3 FR
4 Work full time and study (non poker) only 3kish
5 Tiny screen 2 tables SSS (if I get promotion at work then I'm geting a bigger screen! )
6 Win more $ - currently up £14 in a month. So I'm doing ok :)

I play ladbrokes at the moment hence only occasional 0.10 as there's never a table, on phone excuse my poor formatting, sure you know the questions by now!

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chrisrules334 and Faravof,

This is a first for me in this thread, I am going to recommend the same room to both of you!

The room I suggest is PokerStars. With their recent rake restructure they have some of the most profitable games for NL2-NL10.

This is because you pay less in rake, so you keep more of your profits!

The software is really good and there are loads of tables basically 24/7!

Good luck to both of you!

hi,

it is time for a room-check:

1. Which game type you play? NL cashgames

2. Which limit do you play? NL10

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

4. How much do you play? going for 16h a week

5. How many tables do you want to play? 4

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months? beating nl 10 as hard as i can

Winrate and smooth software (no PKR for me ) are more important then Rakeback (but very welcome ofc.).

wich room(s) would be on the top of your list?

i have not tracked accounts on 888, pokerstars en everest.
Tracked accounts on Ipoker, BWin, Ladbrokes, Pokerheaven.

thanks!

2. Which limit do you play? .25/.50 +

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

Hi YxieAA,

How did you find the software on Ipoker? Personally I think its easy to 4 table on there, I see that you are tracked for William Hill and Poker770.

If you like Ipoker, then Titan Poker would be a great room for you!

They have a 200% first deposit bonus up to $2000. So if you deposit $500 they will give you a $1000 bonus. The first deposit bonus clears at 52%!

Let me know if you have any other questions or if you want a room that is not on Ipoker.

Callum

Hi Borisian,

The only room that has regular Razz action is going to be Pokerstars, I see that you recently entered your username into Pokerstrategy for this account.

Is it a old account or one you recently signed up with through us?

It's an old account unfortunately :( I wish I had known about PS when I was forced to change my nickname.

Oh well can't be helped.

Thanks Callum

Hi QuarkJacks,

If your looking for a good FDB then Titan Poker is going to be the best place for you. They have a 200% FDB up to $2000, the FDB works out to around 52% rakeback!!!

There is good action for FR, Looking now at 12PM there are over 10 games running for 10nl, So during offpeak times you will need to mix stakes and play nl5 and nl10. During peak times though, there will be easily enough games running for you to 16 table (16 is the max on Ipoker)

Once you clear the FDB bonus on Titan, William Hill also have a awesome FDB too, They are on Ipoker aswell.

Good luck at the tables

If you don't like Ipoker then the next best place will be the Ongame network.

The best skin for Ongame is Betfair. Right now they have 14 tables of NL10 full ring running now.

Their FDB depends on how much you deposit and is explained in a bit more detail here.

Make sure you only go for the FDB that you think you can achieve so you can get the most from the offer!

Hope Ongame is ok for you

Good luck
