888 or TitanPoker?

Hi everyone!!

I am currently playing 2NL at TitanPoker. I had no trouble in the first weeks, so I was very happy with the room.
A couple days ago, I wanted to change my password and the software just went crazy; it said they send me an e-mail with the new password, but I never recieved it. It was brutal because I had like $65 in that acount. One day I decided to open TP and suddenly my account opened automatically.

That was the only problem I had with it. But now I am very annoyed due to several things. 1-The tables are trash. When you open a table, is not a ture window that pops up, it's some kind of weird square which is difficult to move and to size correctly. 2-Few tables. The truth is there are few tables at Titan. You have a couple of rooms (there are five or six 0.01/0.02 rooms) and like 30 tables or so. The problem is 26 of those tables are full, and the rest are compleately empty. You have to wait to join a nice table, or you have to wait for all the other player to join your lonely table. 3-More regulars than expected. I read that TP was full of fish. I'm not going to lie, there are tons of fishes and a lot of crazy people (that go all-in with 34o on a AhJh3d board). The thing is you can recognize the regulars, because there are 2 or 3 per table. People like Acider333 or TheHarleyQuinn are complete sharks, and they are playing like 8 tables at the same time. 4-The same people over and over. I don't know why, but every time I sit at a table I can recognize 4 or 5 players. It could be an advantage, but is not!! I recongize them and they recognize me, therefore they now I'm a TAG and I wait for the goods. Maybe the answer to that is balance my game, but honestly I think it shouldn't be that way.

Due to all the things that grind my gears about TP, I am thinking on put my money on 888. I've heard a lot of nice things about it; I just downloaded it and I like what I see.
What do you think I should do? Stay on TP or make the change to 888?

PS:Whatever I do, when my bankroll grow up to $240, I will put $40 in PokerStars to start in there beacuse 888 or Titan are very soft, and if I want to be a good player I have to play against good players.

Hi BuffaloBill333,

I haven't played on Titan but it is part of iPoker network so the player pool is the same with other iPoker rooms. Your problems with the table sizing sounds weird. Have you tried to contact their support?

The traffic is not that good (compared to Stars) but the games are a bit softer. I think it is quite normal to see the same players quite often. Regs are part of any poker network and you just have to learn to play against them :) Luckily many of the regs have leaks and are easy to exploit. Just play solid poker and develop your skills constantly.

888poker offers nice soft games too. The traffic might be slightly better but the improvement is not significant. If your only problem with Titan is the software, I suggest you contact their support and see if they know how to fix things. If you want to have a lot better traffic, I think Stars is way better.

Overall I don't think it matters that much which poker room you choose. You can try both 888 and Stars and then see which you like the best.

I find 888 has alot more traffic on micro cash tables earlier in the day than ipoker .. I play both coral and 888. It also has a wider variety of tourneys ... It really is personal preference though....

Good luck with which ever room you find best

I recommend 888poker. At ipoker there is no rake cap for short handed play, and above 2nl, only six max tables run. You will get raped by the rake at ipoker unless you have some dodgy rakeback deal.

I'm playing Sngs on 888 and I can recommend it so far. Not enough traffic for extreme multitablers, though. Takes a while to get six to eight 3$ / 5$ SnGs filled. But that's fine, I found 3-4 tables to be the perfect amount for me at the moment. I'm on a good way to triple my cash-in in about 3 weeks now. If you play strictly tight in those low level SnGs until 4-5 players left, you'll make it to the money 3 out of 4 times. MTTs are the same. I played MTTs up to 12$ buy-in now and finished in the money loads of times. Don't know about cash games, as I don't play them, but lots of posts here indicate, they are quite easy as well.

One warning, though: I read several posts which indicate it could be difficult to cash-out at 888. On their site, they write they even request notarially certified documents before you can cash-out anything. If I had known that before, I would have picked a different site. Feels crazy to pay a notary or lawyer to cash out your hard earned money...

ipoker - imo the worst choice for nl10 and below players - they charge you some 6.7% rake from the pot
888 - lots of fish - 5% rake
or you can consider 24hbet - 5% rake but capped at 3bbs + through psgy you can get 30% lifetime rakeback and you can change your username every 1000 hands.

Hey andra7777,

Which room did you signup for and when did you signup? Please note it could take up to 3 business days for the bonus to arrive.

Did you follow all the instructions on our signup page?

Regards

Laz

As Pajod has mentioned 24hbet or any MGN are good... i have found them to be very good (Betvictor in my case) and seems to have a lot better cash game traffic than Ipoker

Hey Myrmidons,

Unfortunately all our offers are for new signups only as you have to use our signup links and/or marketing code when you create the account.

There are also old web pages out there that still advertise our $50 free bankroll which was discontinued years ago. You can find out what free money offers you can get on this page.

If you have already taken advantage, then you can check this page to see if you are eligible for a second chance bankroll.

Cheers

Laz

Hi arttuzulu,

You can open a ticket with our customer support team. Just scroll to the bottom of the page (after clicking the link above) and click the + sign next to "Open a new ticket'.

PS.
It would be better to open a new thread or find one that has already discussion about missing bonus money.
Also, I removed your post from the other thread. It is not necessary to post the same question in several threads.

Regards,
la55i
