Hi P0kerdragon1,

I would recommend playing on William Hill as there are plenty of good games at 10nl FR and the games are soft. As well as this the VIP system is also rewarding as you move up the stakes.

They also offer 5 strategy points per $1 of rake. Meaning you will be able to make it to Gold even quicker! So you can take advantage of our advance articles. I also recommend having a look at our videos section.

Good luck on your way to 20nl! (there is no 25nl at William Hill)

Hi Cedricpokerheaven,

The closest I can think of right now would be William Hill who have 20-50bb tables that they call "shallow games". I saw you mention elsewhere in the forum that you were looking for 50nl+. There is plenty of traffic at these limits tailing off once you get over 200nl in my experience.

Im going to have a look around and post if I find anything but so far the 20-50bb tables on Ipoker (William Hill) are the closest I can find to PokerStars 20bb cap games.

1. Which game type you play? PLO

2. Which limit do you play? 25

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

4. How much do you play? 2 hours a day average

5. What is your current bankroll? 1400

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months? Move up to PLO50, Maybe try out HU.

As I am a danish player I have a few restrictions I can only play these sites, some of these I can't get tracked to ps.com which of course would be preffered.

NordicBet
Unibet
Ladbrokes
Betsafe
Bet24
Betfair
Betsson
Bet365
RedClubPoker
24h Poker
Pokersaints
PointPoker
Mermaid
Paradise Poker
InterPoker
Pokerstars
PKR

This is a good trend, Im planning to play also at Party Poker if I already pass the quiz. I will have a chance to win a real money $50 and it will be deposited at party poker. Im waiting for that moment need to review first

Hi Lindberg789,

The best room for you will be BetFair they are part of the Ongame network so there is a lot of traffic. I think the limits for Omaha are 30nl but you still have 40+ buy ins for that level so will be fine.

I had a quick look at Ladbrokes (microgaming) and the traffic is very low on the Omaha tables.

Let me know if you have any issues getting your account tracked for Betfair and I will look into it for you. We want to make sure you are earning strategy points so you can take advantage of all our educational material by reading our articles and watching our Videos

Hi Kokiletz,

After looking through the rooms, the only place that has any traffic at 7card stud hi/lo is Pokerstars.

Im sure when Fulltilt eventually comes back there will be some action there

1. Which game type you play? NL

2. Which limit do you play? NL50

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

4. How much do you play? 14 hours a week

A site who has low HU rake with alot of fish?

Hi Ragney,

Sorry to say but most sites have pretty high rake when it comes to small stakes HU. Personally I would recommend trying to build your roll playing HU sit n go's. For this I would try Unibet. Until you are rolled for atleast 100nl.

If you do wish to stick to HU cash I would suggest splitting your roll between Unibet and PartyPoker. Both of them offering first deposit bonus's. Unibet has a 30% flat rakeback reward and PartyPoker has a good VIP system.

This is because the rake being high at 50nl you will need to game select pretty well. It also helps you get more traffic.

Both sites also offer anonymous tables which attracts lots of fish.

Let me know if you have any more questions

Callum

I'm currently on PartyPoker but I Hate it! Don't ask me why but I just can't get used to it/doesn't feel like home ♦
I wanted to move to Stars, but I have an account there and it isn't tracked so I want to have a tracked account.

Soo are there any other clients then party and stars for me?

Thank you very much!

Hi RasTweet,

Sorry to hear you had to move back down mate! Don't let it bother you though, there are hundreds of people on here who move up and down with the same regularity of the sun rising in the east and setting in the west

For you, I would say go for 888. You wont get much rakeback from their VIP system or from their First Deposit Bonus in truth, but for anything beneath NL10, you need to be looking at increasing your win-rate. The best way to do this (as well as studying here ofc) is to play on soft tables. 888 hasboth very soft tables and new/decent software.

I think you will find that they meet your requirements

Thank you soo much DtotheC!!
I moved to 888 because of you. I like the software and gotta love the field! I made $50 in 2 days time. And this playing NL2 and NL4 webcam table.
the field can't get any easier (except for Facebook ♦)

So thank you for your great advice!
I'm a happy PS-member right now! =D

Hi ClimaxingWalrus,

Looking at the traffic now and for Entraction it seems very low.

Ongame and 888 seem to have very good traffic (8 tables going at 11 in the morning).

If your priorities are to move to small stakes asap, I would recommend playing 888. I chose this network myself when playing NLH as the games were very soft.

The traffic is also very good at Bwin (Ongame) but I cant comment on the standard of the games personally.

I would also suggest trying your best to play PLO25 as the rake at PLO10 can be close to 20bb/100. However it is closer to 10 at PLO25. Having over 50BI should be fine for these limits.

I would really encourage aggressive bankroll management as the rake in general at the micros is very high. I would try and play good/soft 50PLO games as soon as you have 2k. Just be ready to drop back down if you lose a few BI ♠_cool:

Let me know if you have any questions

Thanks a lot CallumN, deposited on 888 and really enjoying the site so far! ♠_biggrin:

Its one of the down sides for me when I moved to Gibraltar. I cant play on 888 ♠_frown:

Loved that network. Games were crazy good!

Good luck crushing!

1.nlhe
2.nl50,100, sometimes some juicy fishes at 200
3.HU(mostly bumhunting)
4.well i play ~15k hands/month or about 800$ of rake on stars
5.infinity
6.print some moneyz

basically i just want to find a new okish software room with enough nl50-100 HU action and with a good RB deal, as now playing on stars and even getting platinum i get ~27-28%, a first time bonus would be ok too

tho partypoker, williamhill and titan are out of question, as i already have accounts there and won't get a bonus.

Any other rooms left?

Hello,
need help finding new room. ATM I'm playing on PartyPoker, NL50 FR. My goal is to boost my BR so I can play NL100 and go for Palladium in 2nd quarter. I'm getting platinum status tomorrow so by the end of march i'll hopefully be ready for next level. I'm looking for some site with loose and fishy games with decent bonus. I would be grateful if you could suggest me something and give me basic info about games and bonus, how much points is needed, how much rake is that and release conditions. RB isn't that important as I'm planing to move back to PP, but some additional boost wouldn't hurt, right?

Thanks upfront!

Hi phantommm92,

The best room for you will be 888. As mentioned above the room is very soft from my own experience and I played my share of HU there aswell between 100-200nl (I really miss playing there ♠_cry: ). The traffic is good and the software is easy to use.

The only downside is the rakeback will be less then what you are getting from stars. The upside being that the games are very good, to the point were I'm sure you will make a extra 1-2 buy ins to make up for the lower rakeback.

888 do offer a deposit bonus for $888 and if you contact live help before you deposit, they will very often offer you some extra bonus's (in my experience).

Hope this helps and good luck crushing!
