888 has very good traffic at small stakes. I'd say if you want options, top 3 sites would be: 888, William Hill, Party Poker

Hey celiac,

Sorry for the delay. You already have exposure to iPoker and MPN networks, so you can consider signing up to another iPoker skin if you are satisfied with the traffic there. PKR will shortly be joining MPN as well, so they may be an option as well.

Full Tilt definitely has the traffic at both rush SH and regular FR while there is also plenty of traffic on regular FR tables at Tigergaming, but unfortunately no fast fold poker.

Let us know if you require any more information. :f_thumbsup:

Regards

Laz

Hey Itseasy,

Either would be a good choice. I joined party about 2 weeks ago and have really been enjoying my time there. I don't have access to Unibet so I asked a colleague to check it out and there were 25 tables of NL4 running at 10am CET.

You could reasonably expect evening traffic to be much better.

Let us know if you have any further questions. :f_thumbsup:

Regards

Laz

Hey SuduVelnias,

888 stands out as the obvious choice for you. As an MTT player, I play there myself. Player pool is very soft and their promotions are very nice with some nice value freerolls as well.

Let us know if you have any further questions :f_thumbsup:

Cheers :f_drink:

:spade: :heart: :diamond: :club:

1.) No Limit

2.) NL .05/.10

3.) Short handed mostly, but considering full ring

4.) Maybe 2-3hrs a day

5.) Just 1 at this stage

6.) To make $1000

7.) UTC+ 12:00. Various times.

8.) Pokerstars & 888 Poker, but I don't want to play on any poker rooms run or owned by Cassava, thanks.

I'm basically pretty new to the game - have only been playing real money games for maybe, 6mths....I really enjoy the game, & have improved a lot in this time, but I Don't want to spend loads of money right now, either. Hope this helps, & you can help me.

Hey cardinhand,

I would suggest checking out TigerGaming. Their peak periods would fit in well as the Chico Network has a high proportion of players from Canada, the US and South America.

Most sites now only have limited traffic for FR SnGs and some rooms no longer spread them. TigerGaming spreads 10 player SnGs. There are also plenty of low limit 10 player tables.

Party may be another option as they have a very good MTT schedule. Party also spread 10 player SnGs. They also provide 10 player cash tables in Regular and Casual Cash Games (which you can only single table) but no FR Fast-Fold (fastforward).

They also have Getting Started missions which reward you with cash, bonuses and tickets for fullfilling simple tasks.

If you need any more information, then just let us know. :f_thumbsup:

Regards

Laz

Hey Jas

I can definitely recommend Partypoker. They have good traffic at 6-Max in both regular tables and fastforward (zoom). They also have Casual Cash Games which can only be single tabled as well as offering some protection from bum hunters by keeping your username secret except for players at your table.

They also have Getting Started missions which reward you with cash, bonuses and tickets for completing simple tasks.

If you need any more information, then just let us know. :f_thumbsup:

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

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

I prefer the lower limits.

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

Full Ring Tables prefered.

4. How much do you play? (e.g. I play 3 hours a week, or I generate $1000 rake/month)
Maybe some hours a week, but I also like playing bigger tournaments from time to time (in matter of time )

5. How many tables do you want to play?

1 to a few. But not too many as I am not that experienced.

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

I have played many games already and I have had bad misplays but also some nice succeses yet and what I have always struggled with was bankrollmanagement after some time. I want to get away from that up and down (gambling) attitude and get some line into my game/attutide, like some kind of consistency.

7. What time zone are you in and what times do you play?

CET. I play in the evenings but also at other times. Depends.

8. Which rooms do you already hold accounts at?

Some Ipoker rooms/skins(I don't like them too much, basically because of the software/design and the gambling content), PS, FT, PP, PKR.
Of all of these rooms I prefered PS the most but I have exluded myself for a time because I was tilting. So now that I feel better again I feel like finding a solid alternative to PS until my exclusion is over.

Thanks for the room tips and possibly other tips.
Have a nice time!

A lot of poker rooms are a part of a bigger general gambling company. Take Bet365 for example; they are most well-known for their sports betting section, yet they also offer a casino and poker room. The beauty of these "single wallet" gambling sites is that players from the sportsbetting and casino sections can easily drift over in to the poker room. These bettors are much more gambling-orientated and usually know very little about poker strategy. As a result, they end up playing poker for the thrill and fully expecting to lose money.
