Cant wait this happen on iPoker :)

thanks for the info tokyoaces


i think that taking out sss is good because there will be more skill-less players playing with a lot of money on the table but sss is not actually that bad cuz it teaches you to play tight and not slowplaying and stuff

but i am not happy its getting changed cuz i liked playing with a short stack but without the actual strategy
i was reraising minraises to steal my blinds...raising late loose...all sorts of good poker moves instead of basic sss and it was easy to beat the players that way...

OnGame doesn't have reps that post in public that I know of so it's quite possible things are going to change soon and we just haven't heard about it. I would expect most everyone in the top 15 on Poker Scout to be switched over by June this year.

Your timing was impeccable. I think you posted your comment only minutes before PS_Steve posted that to 2+2.

Hi,

i want return to play SSS.

I think that the only networks where is possible to play SSS are
**Merge Network(carbon poker, etc..., but the traffic is so low!);
**Ongame network
**Entraction (noiq, 4 assi, etc...)

where you play SSS?

ty!

bye bye

P.S. sorry for my english!!!;-)


I play on BWIN and so far its pretty cool.
Very fishy till NL25/50 (limit I reached so far) and they have no waiting lines, so you can get tables pretty fast.

You can ad me as a freind so we can exhcante experiances sometimes.

Cheers

ty for the reply!

But bwin not acept players from Italy, because there is a law in Italy that forces to play in poker room .it(italian licence), but it' is not a problem :rolleyes:

thus, you advice me to play in Ongame network.

the problem is that Ongame network don't offers any rakeback, while Entraction it offers.

what do you think about this?

ty,

bye bye

unfortunely, italian players are forces to play on pokerstars.it ( :evil:), where until november it's possible to play only SnG and MTT, with a crazy rake!!!

for this reason my choice is restricted between Ongame and Entraction.

Please help me!!

I want play cash game! ;(

From a traffic perspective you should at least play on Ongame and possibly be playing on both. (With the Ongame software it is hard to get more than 4-6 tables running even on a powerful computer.)
