Hi there! I don't really know if people still answer here but I'll try anyways _tongue:

My name is Jordi I live in the UK and I have been preparing for quite a long time watching and reading about poker. So my plan is to start in the near future and I'd like to know which poker site is the most suitable for me.

1. Which game type you play? NL

2. Which limit do you play? NL4, NL10

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

4. How much do you play? I'll probably be able to play up to 3 hours a day

5. How many tables do you want to play? 4 more or less

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months? To become a winning player

Hey brotio,

What timezone are you playing from and which rooms do you already have accounts at?

This will make it easier to recommend room/s.

Cheers :f_drink:

Hi Laz!

When you ask for time zone what do you mean? I'm not english so not sure what it is. Anyways my timezone in UK is UTC +1 and I usually play either during the morning like 11:00 am - 2:00pm or during the night too 11:00pm. I have an account in party poker which I have heard is the most adequate for micro stakes players and was thinking about opening one in pokerstars to compare my results.

Also I used to play in pokerstars.es when I lived in spain is there much difference between .es and .com apart from rake?

Thanks!

Jordi

Also important to check is the method used for the bonus etc calculations, on some sites it is virtually impossible to gain any where near your bonus in the time allotted , unless you attempt games far higher than good bank roll management dictates.

The biggest difference is liquidity. The main PokerStars pool (.com/.eu) is significantly larger than .es. This means that you will generally find enough traffic regardless of what time you play.

888 has very similar traffic to party, but a much softer fish pool.

Hey adasko99,

Can you give further information about what you mean? If you mean the best currency to setup an iPoker room, then I would say Euros as the vast majority of games run in Euros.

Regards

Laz

Hey ST0N3D,

You should check out our MPN partners, RedKings or Stan James.

MPN have the lowest rake structure and for the rake you do pay, you can get 30% rakeback.
