Choosing the right Poker Room for you!

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

NL Cash

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

NL 2, soon NL 4

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

FR

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

5hours per day, 6-7 days a week

5. How many tables do you want to play?

between 4 - 8 tables

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months?

Reach higher limits.

I can play between 10AM - 19PM
I am looking for a poker room that has fishy players at FR tables, if this is not possible SH are fine as well.
For me FDB is not the priority, but the fishy players are.

I checked Poker Heaven and it only gives 30% RB if I rake 100E. At 24hPoker it only gives 30%RB only if I rake 60E in 2 weeks. At Ladbrokes RB is 10% for beginners, silly thing. At Unibet it's 30%RB but there are almost only anonymous tables.

In the end I guess I get to play at the rooms with no RB deals.

So in summary what I want is (in this order):

Preffered seats and non-anonymous tabels and waiting lists
Poker room with alot of fishes at NL2 - NL 10 Tables
To play between 10AM - 19PM
FR Tables
6max Tables
Good FDB (I choose a weaker FDB if it has more time to clear it)
RB deals

PartyPoker mate.

yeah, was thinking party poker or pokerstars

Does anyone about poker rooms which have $0.25 (or less) sngs except for iPoker and Everest?

Thanks.

Hi Ninuu

I agree with Rihard4a, You are going to be best playing at PartyPoker.

Yes the rakeback is much lower, but for a 2nl player you should prioritise on playing against fish. Party will be great for that!

They also have a $500 first deposit bonus that clears at 33% rakeback!

Let me know if you have any other question

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

Cash Games NL

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

NL10, looking to play NL25 soon

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

SH

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

Right now 5h/day 5-6days/week
... but i will tone it down probably soon to 2-3h/day 5days/week

5. How many tables do you want to play?

usually 4-5

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months?

Constant winner for @4-6bb/100 at nl25.

Ok so i feel like i played a ton on partypoker(a long time,not too many hands), I have played around 100k hands at nl4, and around 100k at nl10, i have like 2.5k partypoints and i can't do s*** with them, i mean i have to be gold to even dream of a 12-15% rakeback... and that's by even playing more (release bonus).

I`m not really sure what to do, i never had problems with transfers, my money always reaches fast my bank acc, the field usually is nicely fishy from 12:00 - 18:00 i`m happy with what i find but i feel like i`m losing out on so much rakeback... because i got exactly 0 so far(excepting first deposit), my goal was to play until i reach like 6k partypoints so i can have my 12-15%(witch is not that much) so i don't just abandon those points.I guess i`ll be getting points much quicker at NL25, and it will be worth the wait... but because i withdrawed money several times and i have no rakeback i think i`m not moving up in limits fast enough and maybe i`m wasting good energy, with a 30%rakeback i think i should have got @+350$ witch is 35BI`s in NL10(= a lot)

I saw Unibet is offering a 30% rakeback, and first deposit bonus.Could you please compare these 2platforms for NL10-NL25 6max for me?In general,fishy?are there enough players?is this a safe platform?

Should i move to unibet?or keep grinding it out on partypoker?or should I consider a totally different platform to play on?

Thank you in advance :heart:Pokerstrategy

Hi Cozacu,

I am sorry to hear you are disappointed with the VIP system at Party Poker.

I agree that you would benefit from being at a room that offers flat rakeback and as you suggested, a great choice for this would be Unibet.

They offer 30% flat rakeback that you can cash out at any time. Or be automatically paid every Monday.

They also have a €1k first deposit bonus that adds a additional 20% on top.

As for the games, please note the games will be in euros. So make sure your bankroll is suitable for the slight increase. As for softness, there are a lot of big sports books on the Microgaming network and as a result you get lots of gambling fish coming on to try their luck!

Let me know if you have any other questions

Hi Callum,

I have played zoom for the past 6 months and I am considering (only considering for now ♦ ) going back to normal tables.

I am playing NL100 SH, playing ~20k hands a month (used to rake between 1200-1500 $/month on ipoker). I would be playing 4 tables at a time.

I have already many accounts inlcluding PS, PP, some on Ipoker, Ladbrokes.

Also interested in ipoker traffic since the spilt.

Oh and I forgot to say that I play mostly week day 6pm-1am GMT and week ends

Cheers,
Max

Hi Dublimax,

I would recommend the same as I did above, Unibet are going to be one of the best for you.

You will get 30% flat rakeback + up to 20% from Unibet plus depending how much you rake. You will also get a few % extra from our exclusive €5k race.

They also have a €1k first deposit bonus that adds a additional 20% on top!

I have played 100nl there myself and the games are really good. Software is on par with PokerStars too!

I think you would really enjoy it there

Let me know if you have any other questions

Hello everyone, I had studied a lot the SSS, but I noticed that I could not play it in Party Poker neither in Poker Stars, so I am here to ask for your help.
The reason is that on this strategy you need to go to the table with 20x the BigBlind. But this option is not available on the two mentioned rooms.
Could someone help me with it?
Any rooms that are nice to play it?
Could I increase a little what I'll have on each hand?
Thank you a lot!

Hi pepeelpewRNMD

William Hill is the best place for you to play a SSS as they have 20-50bb tables so you can sit with 20bb

They have lots of games running and the fish seem to love the short stack tables!

We also offer good returns from the VIP system aswell as a 200% deposit bonus up to $2000!

Let me know if you have any other questions

Regards

Callum

The spinelessness ones. I'm going out on a limb here and asking you guys to recommend sites even of they are not affiliated on this site of you know them.I have a feeling that my expectations are prickly hard to reach and the range of rooms available to me is incredibly narrow.

SITES THAT ARE OFF BOUNDS- POKERSTARS, BET 365, BETFAIR, 770, PKR, UNIBET, EVEREST

Hi SokAr85,

I would suggest you play at Betfair at Ongame.

They have great traffic for the 10nl level for Omaha and some really soft players that come from their sports book.

Also depending how much you deposit you can get up to 45% from the first deposit bonus!

To get a idea of the returns you can expect from the VIP system please check out our rake analysis here.

Good luck

Callum

Hi Marrb,

As far as I know PokerStars are the only room that offer this 'slow' format that you are refering too.

All other rooms have just regular SNG's which are going to be faster then the variant you are asking for.

If you ever wanted to try the regular SNG's I would suggest trying somewhere like William Hill as they have a great first deposit bonus and some soft games

Callum

Hi Sambroj,

I recommend you play at PartyPoker.

They have decent traffic for PLO100-200 and with PokerStrategy we can offer awesome returns in terms of rakeback.

For someone raking $2k you can expect 40% from the VIP system + Gemstones.

You will also qualify for a $500 first deposit bonus that clears at around 30% too.

Let me know what you think

Callum

Will give it a bash, thanks!
