Choosing the right Poker Room for you!

1. Which game type you play? nlhe

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? play around 30k hands a month

5. How many tables do you want to play? 3-4

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months? Earn and move up to nl25

I can confirm that you can use tracking software with their anon tables.

I know that HM2 works well. You need to make sure its set to 'session' stats. This means its only tracking for that session. Not for the whole sample.

HM2 does this automatically when it detects you seated at Anon tables.

I dont know for sure if PokerTracker works.

Also if using HM1 and it doesnt auto set to session stats. You can simply double click the hud box and it sets it to sessions stats.

Easy game!

Hi Mcgrath777,

Im going to copy a earlier post as I think it also applies to your requirements.

I would suggest playing at Unibet.

They have some really soft games and great software. It will be really easy to play 3-4 tables.

They also offer 30% flat rakeback that beats anything you can get elsewhere as a 10nl player.

Also when you sign up you will get a €1k first deposit bonus that clears at 20%.

So during your first 60 days you will be earning 50% rakeback!

Good Luck

Callum

Im starting to play some hyper hu and im interested to test partypoker pool. I guess its a lot fishier than pokerstars. But how is the rake? Would u recomend me to use partypoker? I'll be playing $6+ buyins.
Thanks in advance, Klemen

Hi Klemjac,

When comparing the rake. For the $6 on Party the rake is 40c. PokerStars have $7 SNG's that have 15c of rake.

So you can see the rake is higher at Party. The rake is about 5% higher.

The only thing I would say is that the games will certainly be softer at Party.

Do you already have a PokerStars account?

Callum

Thanks for reply. My PokerStars account isnt tracked to pokerstrategy, while partypoker acc is. Anyway i decided to stick to PokerStars. Thanks for help, Klemen

I was playing on everest and know is joining to ipoker, I hate ipoker. I don't want to play on stars or ftp, too tought.

Is there any option besides party?

1. Which game type you play? nlhe

2. Which limit do you play? nl200 / 400

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

4. How much do you play? play around 40k hands a month

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

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months? nl400+

Hi Jonypoka,

I would suggest trying out Unibet.

They have some really soft games going at midstakes right now.

They also have some of the best software right now. Second only to Pokerstars in my opinion.

As for the offer, we have a €1k first deposit bonus that clears at 20%.

They also offer 30% flat rakeback paid weekly.

Also they have Unibet plus. What happens is 10-20% of your rake is allocated to a tournament. At the end of the month you play for your share of the prizepool. It is a super soft tournament as 70% of the field is paid and most people are sat out.

After 12 minutes all people sat out are kicked. In previous tournaments this meant that all players still sat in made the money in 12 minutes!!!

Let me know what you think. If you have any other questions please add my skype Callum.Noble.PS

Thanks

Callum

Hey hey

1. Which game type you play? 70% nlhe 30% plo

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? 30k hands a month

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

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months? stop calling 3bets with pocket 5s. Also go from breakeven/slightly losing up to a 2BB/100 winrate which I was maintaining at nl2

I'm currently at poker770, and have used titan.

I quite like having the option of speed/rush when I'm short of time, but that's not a dealbreaker.

Thankyou

Hi Httpeter,

I think a great option for you would be PartyPoker.

They have good traffic for NL and PLO.

They also offer a speed poker variant that has decent traffic for NL10.

You will also qualify for a first deposit bonus up to $500 that adds a extra 33% rakeback when you start off.

A over view of our offer at Party can be found here

Best of luck

Callum

1. Which game type you play? NLHE

2. Which limit do you play? NL20/25

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

4. How much do you play? 20k hands a month

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

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months? Increase to tables and become a winning player at current limit w/o RB

I am in Australia and I dont think you can play Unibet in Australia. Basically want to know where I will pay the lowest rake (even if it is after RB) Because of my low volume I dont think RB deals that take a bunch of hands are really suitable (which is why I think unibet would have been awesome).

I have already depoisted on stars and party before so no FDB for them but I would still play on those sites if you think they are the best.

1. Which game type you play? Hyper SNG (6-max and Occassional HU)

2. Which limit do you play? $1-$3

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

4. How much do you play? 400 or so SNGs

5. How many tables do you want to play? 2

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months? Increase my volume, improve my play and move up the limits with comfortable BRM.

Hi Adamall,

In terms of paying the least rake possible, PokerStars is always going to be the favourite. So I would suggest playing on there.

If you wanted to try somewhere else, PokerHeaven or Cake Poker could be possible alternatives as they both offer flat rake back (30% and 36%)

Let me know if you think of trying anything else.

Regards

Callum

Hi Zareos,

The best place for you is going to be PokerStars, Do you already have a account there?

Otherwise a room like William Hill will be a good alternative. They are next in line in terms of hyper traffic.

Let me know

Callum

1. Which game type you play? nlhe

2. Which limit do you play? nl200-400

3. Short handed + full ring tables

4. How much do you play? 100k hands a month

5. How many tables do you want to play?
Min 3 Tables each PokerRoom.
I'm happy to play 3 Rooms at the same time to get to 12 Tables

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months?
Play 100k Hands / Month against weak opponents on NL200 to 400

I play from Australia, so I can't play on Microgaming?

Hi Greyboy,

I have added you to skype so we can discuss this in more detail

According to our records you will be able to play at Unibet from Australia by the way.

Look forward to speaking to you on skype.

Callum

Hi, everyone!
I'm currently a micro-stakes player (up to NL5), cash, now sticking to SH and some micro HU sng! Currently i'm playing on PokerStars, but i get the feeling that microlimits is getting tougher everyday (of course, there are fishy times too). I play about 50k hands a month, up to 12 tables. More interested in getting my BR bigger and climbing up the limits. What would be my options? (Not so much interested in rakeback)
Also, I enjoy MTTs of all kinds - what would be my best variant for the tournament carrier?

Thanks and regards)

Hi Druzhische,

If you want a site to play 12 tables and a mixture of HU SNG's and MTT's then the best place is going to be PartyPoker.

They have a wide range of soft traffic for all the game types you are looking for and the software is nice to use for multi tabling.

You will also qualify for a first deposit bonus up to $500 that adds 33% rakeback while you clear it.

Let me know if you have any other questions

The problem is that if a new player is seated, you will need to reset his stats. This could be tough to notice if you are multitabling. An option is to mark everyone with a color, and when some new players joins, he won't have a color-mark. It's a lot of work though.

Are you talking about HEM1? Because I use HEM2 and it automatically resets stats, when new player joins.

I used HEM2 and for me it didn't reset despite the 'session' settings. But that was a couple of months ago. If its auto-reset, I just might try microgaming again.
