Hey Quarkjacks,

I do apologise for taking so long to answer. Your best option would be PokerStars for traffic, then probably an iPoker room. 6max traffic is pretty good there. Also with iPoker you can get a 200-250% FDB (depending on skin). William Hill will give better rakeback and better SPs.

888 has excellent traffic but their reward system and rakeback doesn't bear mentioning, but they do have good traffic.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Laz

Hey MarkyMark,

I would recommend PokerHeaven (MicroGaming). You will receive a 200% up to €1,000 First Deposit bonus, 30% guaranteed lifetime rakeback, access to our exclusive 10K rake races and also access to their second room on the Ongame network.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers

Laz

Hey Jimmy2tymz,

I would certainly recommend you check out an iPoker skin. This would be a better option traffic wise than either MicroGaming or OnGame networks.

iPoker skins include : NetBet, William Hill, Gala, Coral, Titan, Bet365, Betfair, Winner, paddypower, Everest, Ladbrokes or Mansion. Some of these may not be available in your area and some may give away free money so make sure you check this page.

Let us know if you need any more info.

Not sure what's up with that, but WH needs an age verification. I'm not sending a picture of my ID over the net. No real money deposit for me there. If/when I get a bonus insert into the account I will play.

Also, signing up through your link, should I not auto up my status here?

Hey Jimmy2tymz,

It can take up to 72 hours for the bonus to hit your account and your status to update. If nothing happens in that timeframe, let us know and we'll look into it.

Regards

Hi,

I play NL100 fast poker 6max NL, at pary poker. I have 5bb/100. I want to play NL200 but party poker has max NL100. I want to play only fast games, no regular tables. What is the best one? My style is very agressive, the best for me is if population is nitty.
I play in average 1 hour a week, sometimes more, sometimes not at all.

Hey nauyiel,

I would recommend either Full Tilt or any of our available iPoker skins.

888 and PKR will restrict the number of tables you will play and Microgaming may not have enough traffic.

With iPoker speed however, there is currently traffic at NL20 (no NL25 at iPoker but the currency tou play in is Euros), but none at NL50. On regular 6-Max tables there is plenty at both limits.

Full Tilt currently has over 100 players in both their Rush NL25 and NL50 pools and there is also plenty of traffic on regular tables at both limits.

If you play a fast fold variant, Full Tilt would be better. If you play regular tables both are fine. It would come down to things like bonuses and how hard you want to grind a FDB. iPoker offers 200-250%, Full Tilt 100%.

Sorry for the delay

Hey kneejob,

About the only viable option left would be Full Tilt Poker.

Hey GingerKid,

Not a lot of options. PKR doesn't have fast fold poker. MicroGaming only spreads as high as NL50 and there is no traffic anyway.

iPoker has players at NL100 but nobody at NL200 as per SS

888 has a few players at Snap NL200.

And Full Tilt is weird with players at NL400 and none at NL200.:f_biggrin:

Thanks Lazza, much appreciated!

I'm looking for a new room where I can play tracked and really start building a roll. In the past I've often played around a bit on some of the iPoker clients in order to achieve silver status. Right now I'm aiming for gold however and am not looking forward to put in this kind of volume on iPoker (have tried Coral and Titan so far). FullTilt (pretty much always played here) and Stars are no option, as I already have an account on these clients which is not tracked. Rooms without the possiblility of using HUD's are not an option for me.

1. Which game type you play? NLHE rush/zoom/speed

2. Which limit do you play? NL2, shotting NL5 (allright, allright... I play NL2 :f_biggrin:)

3. Short handed or full ring tables, or even Heads-Up? Shorthanded, might incorporate FR aswell later on.

4. How much do you play? About 20k hands/month currently. Will be expanding this to 40-50k for the next couple of months

5. How many tables do you want to play? 2-3 rush tables do the trick for me

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months? I'm aiming to crush NL25 by the end of 2015 and perhaps start shotting NL50.

7. What time zone are you in and what times do you play? CET+1, playing mostly during the evening hours

8. Which rooms do you already hold accounts at? Unfortunately I already have untracked accounts at PokerStars and FullTilt. I have a tracked account at Partypoker, which could be an option. However, due to all the negative posts about this client i've been reading I started to question wheter it's the best option.

Cheers!

Gijs

nice thread.

Hey Gijs,

This pretty much narrows it down to 888 or an iPoker skin I have grabbed a couple of screenshots at around 18:30 GMT

The advantages with 888 are larger player pools although their reward system is not optimised for regular grinders. However, they are the fastest growing room and are best placed for even more growth when the US players come back

With an iPoker skin, you get a much better VIP system with up to 250% FDB (depending on skin) and no cap on Strategy Points (SPs).

If you have any further questions, just let us know. ♠_thumbsup:

Have fun

Laz
