@ilovemagic

I would ask that you dont post these "reviews" on the thread. Two main reasons:

1) They are opinions, which vary from person to person. For example, I know for fact that PokerStars actually have the toughest tables in the industry and the tables are not full of fish compared to other networks. I also know many people who feel the Microgaming software is as good as Stars and who refuse to play on iPoker because of their software. It is completely subjective.

2) This thread is about finding out what is the right room for an individual. This means considering game types, blind speeds, monthly rake, limits etc etc Lots of different things that determine where is the most +EV place to play. No "cover-all" review will serve the same purpose.

So whilst we want you all to contribute and give your thoughts, please dont de-rail the thread with information that isnt aligned to the purpose of the thread.

Cheers,

DC

I think it was directly through them and the account hasn't been active for over a year. I probably made it before I knew anything about poker. :f_biggrin: Thanks for the help with this!

Hi EmanuelC16,

Just thought I would let you know. The flight the managers were coming back on couldn't land in Gibraltar due to the weather (they have been forced to land in Malaga), so I wont be able to speak to them until Monday.

Once again sorry for the delay but I will have a answer for you as soon as possible :)

Np, thanks for going for all this trouble!

If you don't mind, rather PM me to get this sorted as soon as possible. I see the PM faster than your posts here. :)

Hi,

First of all great thread & you're doing a great job.

I play 1 table and MultiTable SNGs (FR) $3 and higher, about 12-14 hours a week. My current total bankroll (across two rooms) is about $550. In the next few months I'd like to grind and each week withdraw a portion of a bankroll. I'm in need of money.

I would like a room that's soft (I would like to avoid REG infestation if possible) and has traffic for SNGs $3 and higher. I wouldn't also mind a good rakeback deal, since it's money I'm after urgently atm.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated and if you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask.

Once more - great effort in this thread!

Hi Inlovewithamsterdam,

Thanks for the kind feedback it is much appreciated :)

The best site I can suggest would be PartyPoker. They have the next best traffic compared to Pokerstars for SNG's and MTT's. The downside being with Pokerstars is the games are tougher.

PartyPoker will have the softer games and also offer 3.5 strategy points per $1 rake so you can take advantage of our strategy and videos section to help you make that little extra :P

Best of luck crushing!

The thing is I am with Party now and their SNGs are soft, but the trafic is poor, especially for $6+ and it also starts showing sings of reg infestation.

What about my options if I say I'd play NL10/NL25? I'd also like a soft field and a rakeback deal (if possible).

Thanks a lot,
MAtt

edit: nl10&25 short handed.

Hi. I'm searching for new site to play poker.
1. No Limit Cash Games.
2. Probably will start with NL10.
3. 6max.
4. I will play 2 hours a day.
5. I have bankroll to play at NL25 but I will stick to NL10.
6. Beat NL10 at the new pokersite and move to NL25 as fast as I can. Of course try to play my best everytime and don't do stupid mistakes...

Out of curiosity mostly, where are the best MTTs? I suspect you're going to say pokerstars so who's 2nd best?

Hi, i am relatively new to online poker, and i haven't played in a few months. I would start on the micro stakes (0.01/0.02). Could you reccomend the softest room to start on, preferably with the most noobs like myself.

Thanks alot :)

Hi Inlovewithamsterdam,

If that is the case I would recommend Betfair if your priority was for SNG's. There are also some soft games for 10-25nl.

If you wanted to play more cash and SNG's 'on the side' then you could try William Hill. They have the better traffic for cash games.

They also both offer big deposit bonus's.

Hope this helps

Callum

Hi Pieal,

I would suggest playing on PartyPoker. They will offer good traffic to fit your requirements.

The best thing about playing with Poker Strategy is as you play you earn strategy points. With these you can unlock our videos and strategy articles. These will help you on your way to climbing up the limits and crushing _cool:

Hi qMantas,

The I would suggest playing at William Hill. They have soft games at 10-20nl. They make it easier to gradually move up by offering dollar euro and pound tables. So you could start taking shots at 20nl dollar tables and gradually ease yourself into the new limit.

The have a 200% deposit bonus up to $2000. Meaning if you deposit $500 for example,they will offer you a deposit bonus worth $1000.

Good luck, let me know if you have any other questions!
