Which one do you think is best, I will be playing micro cash game up to nl10

I already have 4/5 accounts with ipoker so im thinking Unibet might be a good choice just for something different.

What is the unibet sofeware like as if it is crap I won't ever use the site, also do they have many sats to live event there?

any help here would be good thanks

I would choose Unibet. They have great software (much better than ipoker), you get 30% rakeback, solid FDB plus microgaming network is much fishier than ipoker network.

Hi Mods.

No response now for 7 days. I'm sure you are all very busy though.

I think I'm going to deposit $100 on pokerheaven and PKR each. And another $100 on somewhere like skypoker.

I have accounts for all three already (I signed up for way too many poker rooms years back) but rarely have used any and not for a few years on all three.

Is it possible to get sign-up deals through you or has that ship sailed?

Thanks

Looking to add a room for PLO hi/lo. I already play at cake but would like to be able to add a few more tables than are usually running at cake.

Stars isn't really ideal since the rakeback will be super sucky with my low volume.

Limits are PLO50+

Hey guys,

Apologies for the delay here. Will try and get some assistance to you all tomorrow.

Thank you for your patience,
Gary

Ty, what about micro and low SnGs (9 players)? Which poker room do you suggest?

Ty very much.

1. Which game type you play? (No limit? Sit & Go? MTT? PLO, Fixed Limit, Other?) NL cash games, some SNG and giving a shot to some MTT

2. Which limit do you play? (example: NL25, SNG $11, FL .50/1) NL2 - Starting to give a shot at NL4, up to 1.5$ sng (mostly stt but sometimes mtt)/mtt

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

4. How much do you play? (e.g. I play 3 hours a week, or I generate $1000 rake/month) Average 2 hours/day but more at the weekends.

5. How many tables do you want to play? 4-6

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months? keep building bankroll at my pace

I'm looking for a soft poker room with some traffic and good software. I don't like PKR.
Thanks

Hey.

I recently deposited on poker770. But after playing only cash games there i have realized i do wanna go back to playing sit n goes and some tourneys instead of cash games, and since the rake on ipoker below 5$ is retardedly high on 20% i cant play here.

So im looking for a place where there is decent traffic and some nice low BI tourneys.
The problem is i already have accounts that are not tracked on Pokerstars, Fulltilt, and Unibet, which is ones i would like to play on as well, but i want to get PS points

Unless there is a chance to get these accounts tracked i need a good alternative. Thanks!

Hey all,

Apologies for the delay, I will try and get you some assistance early next week

Regards,
Gary

would like a room which is not ipoker and not stars since I'm allready playing at those 2 sites.

I'm playing nl50 HU and want a room with good rakeback/ low rake for that game. If not good rakeback than I'd like a room with a 50 cent cap

Also with decent traffic

If you like Unibet but want a tracked account then try 24hrPoker. They are on the same network, so same tables, same 30% rakeback & same 4 points per 1$ rake. Hope this helps you Simm1. if not just ignore me

Hey DonDonko

Might I suggest William Hill. Not too sure what the traffic will be like at that part of the day/night but William Hill generally has good traffic with decent softness and good rakeback for SNGs

Hey Millsyuk

I know we've been recommending Unibet a lot recently but that's because it is a really good client to use.You get good returns and find good soft games at Unibet

Also in regards to your query about the FDB, I would suggest sending their support team a message to check this out.

Hey Vblue

What exactly do you want from another poker room that you're not getting from you current one? Because the ipoker networks are quite good in terms of the factors that you mentioned.

Regards,
Luke

Luke - mainly just a few more tournaments within my price range at the times I play at to add to my schedule.

I think pokerheaven might suit. Did you get my question about whether I can sign-up after being away from PKR/pokerheaven/sky poker as a new account. I have accounts with all but have barely ever played or deposited. Might never have deposited at sky or PKR.

Hey VBlue

I don't believe we offer re-deposit bonuses but sometimes the poker sites/poker clients offer bonuses of that sort.Off-hand I don't know if the ones you mentioned do or not.

I'm not too sure about which poker rooms would have decent traffic at the specific time that you play to be honest but generally poker heaven's traffic is pretty good. If I had to make an educated guess I would say that you would find decent tournaments at the micro levels. Hope I helped

Luke

I choose Microgaming. A lot of hobby players and good software! ))

Hey Alleen86

Spoiler

What bothers me is can I get more rakeback and additional value in some other poker room? I know that on these limits rakeback isn't that big issue, but dollar by dollar, it can be a decent bankroll boost......Can I get more additional value somewhere else or there is no point in changing the room?

Thank you!

In terms of rakeback, cake poker generally have a very good amount but not sure what this would mean for a microstakes player. Ladbrokes,Poker Heaven, Unibet Poker and PKR also have good rakeback generally so take your pick

Spoiler

I currently use only their $10 Reload Bonuses. To buy it, I need to collect 3500 Points770, which is, according to my Iron status (100% boost), $70 of rake. To release it, I need 750 Points770, which is $30 of rake. If we assume that I will use those releasing Points770 for another $10 Reload Bonus, my calculation is that at the end I get 14,3% of rakeback.

How did you get your value of 14,3 rakeback? sorry my math is a bit rusty

Luke

I think the software would be good . Personally I don't use unibet but if you take the software they use on their website as an estimate for how it would run on the client then it seems quite good.

Also what limits are you talking about for the live event sats? admittedly i don't know much about them but I could help find out for you.

In terms of general rakeback Ladbrokes,Poker Heaven, Unibet Poker and PKR are pretty good but with regards to traffic i'm not sure how the PLO or hi/low tables would be it might pay to look around at these clients to find a good balance between traffic and rakeback. Hope I helped

Hey brogac

the rooms that you currently play on are quite good with regard to micro sngs and low sngs. Did you have any other criteria?

Luke
