----

I would like to know what rooms offer cap games or allow you to buyin for 20bb at there tables, it would be possible for me to combine multiple rooms, so any rooms that offer it would be appreciated

Regards

Hey variancekiller,

The only poker room that you can find cap tables are at PokerStars which has plenty of traffic for you with 8+ tables available, great software and customer support. With regards to the 20bb (nl50 FR) tables it's almost impossible to find on any other rooms.

I can see that you already have a PokerStars account and played there before, any reason you thinking to change?

Let me know and we'll look into other options then.

- Hyper HUSNG

2. Which limit do you play?

- 1 or 2$

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

- HU

4. How much do you play?

- 50-100 a day

5. How many tables do you want to play?

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

- Reach 10-15$ HUSNG

Currently playing on Stars, but it isn't tracked, and I tried PartyPoker, but rake there is just ridiculos.

Thanks

Hey Krist2ps,

Your best option would be iPoker rooms and more specifically Titan Poker and William Hill because on HUSNG's you pay 5% rake which is lower than most of the other rooms.

I can see that you've got a William Hill account already, you cleared the FDB there yet? If yes, go for Titan Poker and you can get 200% up to $2,000 which will clear in $5 chunks and an additional 28% rakeback on top of the vip system.

You can download the Titan Poker client from here and please don't forget to enter the bonus code PSVIP at registration.

I hope this helps?

dont really have short term goals.

Hi Itsnevereasy,

Thanks for your post. May I start with a question? Which poker rooms do you already have an account with?

My thoughts:

Recently Bwin.com moved to the PartyPoker Network and they also launched their new VIP system which will give you 40% rakeback every month. On top of this we have our exclusive Bwin 10k Point race and the 100% up to $/£/€500 First Deposit Bonus which will clear at ~33% additional rakeback. With Bwin joining PartyPoker Network you will also have a softer player field to enjoy.

You can download Bwin.com poker client from here.

Your other option would be Microgaming which has the anonymous tables where you can still use your HUD and it's extremely soft. At Unibet for example you'll have flat 30% rakeback + exclusive €5,000 Unibet Rake race + €1,000 First Deposit Bonus of €1000.

Please follow the instruction here to download the client.

I hope this helps?

well yeah, the reason for changing is rakeback. I know I can get a way higher percentage on other rooms with races and everything, while at PS I will stick to roughly 37%. Meaning my ROI will be a lot better at for example Ipoker (if they have those tables) post rakeback.

Regards,

And thanks for having a look

Hey again

Our pleasure to help, don't worry. The problem is even if I advise you to join another poker room (i.e. iPoker rooms) you may find one or two running tables in the evening which will not give you enough volume to beat 37% which you can get at PokerStars at the moment.

I think PokerStars is your best option if you would like to keep having 8+ tables.

Why don't you add me on skype: ingrid.nagy.ps and we discuss there more?

5. How many tables do you want to play?- 4-8 tables

Hey ZokiKrle,

I would suggest to play at Party Network or PokerStars because its likely that you'll find the most traffic there.

Great news is that recently Bwin.com moved to the PartyPoker Network and they also launched their new VIP system which will give you 40% rakeback every month.

PokerStrategy.com also have an exclusive Bwin 10k Point race and a 100% up to $/£/€500 First Deposit Bonus which will clear at ~33% additional rakeback on top of the vip system.

3- SNG HU
4- 20 hu a day
5- 2 tables

My goal is to quicky go to the next limits. I want a fishy pool (I don't care about the traffic). And rakeback, even if at the moment, I don't have a lot of rake.

Thanks.

Hey PierreVN,

I think your two options are PokerStars and William Hill.

Similar to PokerStars, on William Hill you will also pay low rake but please beware that there are no $7 HU sng's but $5 to start with. How is the field on PokerStars? I think the field on iPoker is softer and hopefully you can move up the limits quicker. You didn't mention so I assume you don't have an account there, correct?

You will also receive the First Deposit Bonus which is 200% up to $2,000 and equivalent to 29.5% rakeback on top of the vip system. I would recommend you to deposit the amount you think you'll be able to clear.

Hey Juist,

I would recommend you to play at Party Network. Currently 33 tables are running and I think you'll have plenty of traffic and softer field since bwin.com joined 2 days ago.

Recently Bwin.com also launched their new VIP system which will give you 40% rakeback every month.

We also have an exclusive Bwin 10k Point race and a 100% up to $/£/€500 First Deposit Bonus which will clear at ~33% additional rakeback on top of the vip system.

The field on PokerStar is OKAY. I'll try William Hill to see which field is the best.
After the first deposit bonus (equivalent to 29.5% rakeback), do they have any rakeback ?

cheers

Hi there,

1. Which game type you play?

- PLO

2. Which limit do you play?

- PLO 10

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

- SH

4. How much do you play?

5. How many tables do you want to play?

- 2-4 (rush,zoom...) or as many as I can handle regular tables

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

Is there any other option than Pokerstars? I mean, the rake on other sites is much bigger than Stars have. Or is there any other site that you can compare to them?

Thank you in advance

Hi,

1, 2 and 3: I play NL200SH and NL400SH

4. I'm considering playing at least 25 to 30 hours per week next year.

5. I can play several tables, on several networks. I don't necessarily want to play only one room.

6. My goals are to put a lot of volume, move up in stakes quickly and make money thanks to high win-rate instead of high RB.

I can please on several poker rooms, so I would not mind having several options. Thank you!

i hate being bronze status coz i really like watching some vids and shit but problem is the last three poker rooms i have joined have all ended their relation ship with poker strategy so my question is

could you recommend a room that you will be doing some future business with or do you think im just a Jonah? ♦

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

NL Holdem

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

NL4-5

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)

1k hands/day Fast Fold - 500 regular

5. How many tables do you want to play?

2 Fast Fold/ 6 regular

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

NL10 Baby!

Have accounts at Stars/Party/WH/Unibet/Ladbrokes/Everest/Cake

Have a FDB to clear at WH and was wondering if better off to play there vs no bonus at Stars.

Thanks,
Gary

Hey man.

I really think that you should try out Microgaming. I know a lot of the rges there and winrates for 5bb/100 can be standard on the "anonymous tables" where the fish like to hide.

You can sign up to Unibet for a flat 30% rakeback deal, which usually has a bunch of other cool promotions.

Alternatively, you could play at Ladbrokes.

Today we announced they would be part of our gemstone promotion.

http://www.pokerstrategy.com/news/pokerstrategy/Exclusive-2013-Gemstone-VIP-Promotion:-Qualify-With-Just-2,500SP !_67237/

I think the software is very nice, very slick and it definitely feels the "fastest" for me after Stars.

Hey Gary,

Yeah it make sense to continue the bonus at William Hill.

It seems you like MIcrogaming as you have accounts at UNibet and Ladbrokes.

Today we announced that 24hr poker would be a Gemstone Room in 2013, so why not move there and try to collect the gems?

#chasethegems

You can read more about the VIP offer here:

You will still collect SP's if you play on Party, so that shouldn't be a problem

What games do you play?

i dont play on party but was gunna open WPT account today... FML

i play

Stars
Tilt
Betfred
888
poker Heaven (dont like it )

i play nl 0.50

6max

Hey nefarious,

Have you looked into MIcrogaming?

Posts above I've shown the VIP information for 24hr poker and Ladbrokes, both rooms are open for the gemstone promotion.

The software is very very slick, the players come from recreational sites and generally it is just an awesome network.

There are plenty of 6max NL50 tables and I think you could definitely crush there in 2013.

Hello,

I'd be glad if you could hlep me

Until now, I have been playing on .fr sites but I'm moving abroad so I plan to play on .com

I will play mostly NL 100 / 200 /400 about ~ 50k hands a month, like 95% of SH and 5% of HU.
I don't care about the level of the opponents, I'm just looking for the best room in terms of loyalty program and rakeback.

I was thinking about PokerHeaven because of the 30% rakeback, rakerace and deposit bonus but it seems like there is not much traffic or?

Thank you very much

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

Mainly single table SNG, but like to play NL tables and the odd MTT

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

NL 0.05 / 0.10, $3.50/$7 SNG

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

Full Ring

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

10 hours / week minimum

5. How many tables do you want to play?

4 - 6 tables

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

Move to $7 / $15 SNG and 0.10/0.25 tables

I have accounts with PokerStars and Partypoker. Been away from online poker so not sure how much has changed. Looking for something forgiving for getting back into playing, but with enough traffic to keep me engaged.
