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

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

4. How much do you play? (e.g. I play 3 hours a week, or I generate $1000 rake/month)
500$/month

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

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months?
My goal is to make safe bankroll and move up to nl50.

I am considering move to Pokerheaven( but i am worried about trafic a lot) or william hill is there any other variant for me.

I cannot track pokerstars and titan poker.

Thanks.

Hey confidant91,

William Hill on the iPoker Network has probably got the best VIP system to suit your needs, complete with it's First Deposit Bonus. 6 max traffic is generally very good with also of the option of Speed Poker to fill any table voids that may occur.

Plus, you've played on Titan Poker and if you like the software there there is not much of a difference!

As for Poker Heaven, it is also a very good choice, with the flat 30% rakeback, rake race and the first deposit bonus! Traffic at NL50 should be very good. It tends to get a little more difficult from NL100+

Don't hesitate to ask any follow up questions please :)

Best regards,
Gary.

Hey again prime333,

I believe any one of our iPoker partner rooms are going to be the next logical site for you.

iPoker is currently second behind PokerStars in traffic. 6 max is probably the busier format but for NL4 there should be no shortage of Full ring tables (there should nearly always be 4 tables for you to play at.

You have a choice of rooms - but I am going to suggest Poker770! Because if you sign up through us like so you will get yourself:

  • $7.70 free money!
  • $20-$2,000 bonus (depending on the amount you deposit)
  • Instant Silver Status here at PokerStrategy.com
  • Free entry into a $1,000 tournament

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any follow up questions please :)

Regards,
Gary.

Hey Saren113

If it's bonus hunting you're wanting most of our partnered rooms offer great bonuses. You should be able to get 6 tables going but it most likely depends on what time of day you're playing. As you can see there are so many rooms to choose from so just cycle through them and get them bonuses. Good luck. Oh and if you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask!

Regards,
Luke

I agree. Although if you are a fan of the iPoker Network (as it appear you do) you could check out maybe Betfair Poker or Poker770 as your next step. Both of them are on the top tier of the network and have very good VIP systems and First Deposit Bonuses.

Let us know what you think please and if you have any follow up questions - please do not hesitate to ask ;)

Regards,
Gary.

Hey there pokerboy198229,

I know you mentioned PokerStars but is there any other room you've previously held an account at on our list of partner rooms?

Thanks in advance for your reply!

Gary.

Hey again pokerboy198229,

Apologies for the late reply here.

I would strongly recommend William Hill as your poker room. It is very similar to Titan Poker, it is also on the iPoker Network and it should have plenty of traffic for you at all times.

It also has a very good VIP system and First Deposit Bonus to take advantage of. On top of that you earn 5 StrategyPoints for every $1 rake/tournament fees.

Once again, I do apologise for the lateness of my reply.

Have a great weekend,
Gary.

Hey kildex,

There are quite a few options for you with regards to poker room choices.

If you like the iPoker Network then I would say that Titan Poker is the next logical choice.

It has the exact same player pool so you may be familiar with some of your opponents already. It offers a very good first deposit bonus and VIP system and on top of that you should find plenty of tables to suit your needs.

Alternatively, Unibet is also a decent choice. 30% flat rakeback, fishy player pool and really good software are why I recommend this room!

Let me just start my saying I am deciding on an Ipoker skin.

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

2. Which limit do you play? (example: NL25, SNG $11, FL .50/1)
NL5

3. Short handed or full ring tables, or even Heads-Up?
FR 9max, I may change to 6 max if I manage to hit 50NL+

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

18 hours/week

5. How many tables do you want to play?
9 tables+

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

Just to grind up a nice bankroll. I don't really have a timeframe, but 25NL in 3 months would be sweet, no idea if I'll get there that quickly.
Right now rakeback isn't as important as playing good poker, I know, but I like
to plan ahead. My ideal goal would be to be a winning player at 100NL playing 8 hours+ a day.

Thanks in advance :)

Edit: I have a dormant account on Titan, and right now I play 5nl on pokerstars but find the competition to be pretty tough (5bb/100 @30k hands). I went broke on titan from bad play but have since then improved, however I cannot use their beginner tables now which I'm not sure is important as I play microstakes and those tables tend to be a little easier.

No limit

2. Which limit do you play?
NL 10

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

Only SH

4. How much do you play?

12hrs/ week

5. How many tables do you want to play?

maximum of 6 minimum of 4

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

Quickly build a BR to play nl 25 nl 50, where my withdrawals wont affect the limit I play. I am looking to open an account in a tracked site where there is a decent rakeback and not infested with regs. I have had bad reviews about ipoker network and accounts getting locked for security reasons.

I have a tracked stars account. i also have an 888 account where i currently play. But the FDB period expired and am looking for a change. How would you recommend ladbrokes? I did not understand what loyalty bonus means.
