1. Which game type you play? No limit + some MTT`s

2. Which limit do you play? NL100

3. Short handed

4. How much do you play? I generate ~2250$ rake in a month

5. How many tables do you want to play? 6-8

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months? Earn as much money as possible

I`m thinking about pokerstars. I could grind up supernova this year. Or maybe there are better options?

Hi Figeljfigelj,

I think you will be best of playing on PartyPoker.

They have soft games and very easy to use software.

The VIP system will give around 38% as shown here

If you have any other questions please let me know

1. Which game type you play? No limit Sit & Go

2. Which limit do you play? SNG $7-$15

3. full ring tables

4. How much do you play? 5-6 hours per day/4500vpp last month

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

I just wanted to see what my options were if i move from pokerstars.
My pokerstars account isnt tracked so this is realy the main reason but also i would love to play some fish again :)
I already have a WH and 888 account but the software doesnt like stacking tables very much and leads to tables not popping up and siting out.

Hi Jezterscap,

I recommend you make a account at PartyPoker.

From my experience the software is very easy to use and at peak times It will be easy to get 12 games going.

I imagine you use Tableninja when playing on stars? They also have a version for Partypoker that will help you when playing.

For VIP returns, from $800 rake (4500vpp / 5.5) You will get around 15% from the VIP system.

Good luck

Callum

Hi Figeljfigelj,

A good alternative to PartyPoker would be William Hill.

They have great traffic for NL100 as well as a great first deposit bonus of 200% up to $2000.

This clears at around 42%. You can also expect around 56% from the VIP system when raking $2250 a month.

Hope this is a suitable option.

Callum

1. NLHE 6max
2. 50NL
3. SH
4. I'd say 1K+ rake each month, 1-3hours a day.
5. 4-12
6. Grind 50k+ hands

I want to have a FDB available and I don't want to play on ipoker because the fish is dying out there.

Because I want a FDB and no ipoker this excludes: Party, betfair, WillHill, bet365, betfred, stars, Mansion, Paddypower, Europoker, Unibet.

I was thinking about boss, entraction, ongame(BWIN) or WPT.

Could I get numbers on the rate the first deposit bonusses clear and what the VIP-system/rakeback is when signup up through pokerstrategy?

Hi Noisecore,

From the rooms you have listed WPT will be the best in terms of game softness + first deposit bonus.

The FDB for WPT is $500 and clears at 33%. The VIP system is lower then the others at 15% but the softer games will make up for the diference in rakeback.

As far as the FDB for the other rooms are concerned. Boss is a €1000 that clears at 20%. Entraction (24h Poker) is €1000 also for 20%. Bwin is $1000 that clears at 36%.

Even though Bwin will offer slightly higher RB I think the games are softer at WPT and the software is much easier to use on WPT.

Best of luck

Callum

Callum

Not to forget you get 30% rakeback when clearing the FDB, totaling to 50% whilst clearing your first deposit bonus. You do however need to rake €0.25 in order to get 1FPP. Raking €0.12 will not give you ~0.5FPP, it'll give you 0. Raking €0.99 will only get you 3 FPP, whereas raking just once cent more gives you 4FPP. This could be important to take into account.

Good point Nivekii, The same also applies for 24h in regards to the 30% rakeback :)

Hi Zbattle96,

The best site for you will be PokerStars.

They offer the best traffic for 45 man SNG's and also have some of the best software.

Good luck!

Callum

Anything else? Because I am not tracked there.

Hi Zbattle96,

In that case I would suggest playing on PartyPoker.

You may have to mix in some 30 mans etc during offpeak times, just incase there arent enough 45's running.

Best of luck

Callum

Hi Lalalyla,

I recommend you play on PartyPoker.

They have great traffic for NL2 FR and when I played there the games were extremely soft!

The software is really easy to use when 4 tabling aswell :)

They also offer 4.5sp's for every dollar of rake. This means you will be able to unlock our videos and strategy articles even quicker!

Good luck

Callum

Hi Janalissako,

Welcome back to the game

I would recommend PartyPoker as the best site for you to play on.

They have great traffic for 50nl and some soft games! They also have traffic for SNG's in the range you are looking for.

They also offer a $500 FDB that clears at around 33% rakeback.

Good luck crushing the games at 50nl _cool:
