Hey Callum,

I think you remember me putting you to work with Unibet. ♦

Came here to ask for some help again. My PLO went rather bad and decided to switch to NLHE instead to rebuild.

Unibet won't give me any deposit bonus because my account is too old so I'm looking for other rooms to actually grind NL SH instead. iPoker is out of the question for me because the tables are amongst the worse I've seen for NL SH.

I have accounts on Stars, Party (damn! untracked), 888, EuroPoker, bwin.

I play around NL25 (could be NL20 or NL30 depending on the room and currency). I'd like to have about 6 decent tables going.

Usually I would play about 3-4 hours/day. Unibet is still an option but if there is something that would give me better value combining First Deposit bonus, tables and VIP I'd like to know. I've been playing on 888 and the competition is definitely good (as in good for me) but the rake is on high side and rewards on the low side.

888 poker is soft on NL 20 and NL 30, dosen't have NL 25 tho. BUT they got slow suport as hell and it's slow to withdraw money from their site, just have that in mind.

I've played a fair share of hands on 888. Their cashouts are OK but their support is terrible, I agree. I had quite a disagreement with them but managed to sort it out thanks to Ingrid!

Hi Chameleontwo,

You mentioned Titan Poker, I would suggest playing on there for PLO5/PLO10. I would try and have atleast 30-40BI for each level.

Make sure your happy to move up/down the limits as your bank roll grows/shrinks (hopefully we keep going up though!!!)

Let me know if you have any other questions

Callum

Like you say the software is easy to use, there are also lots of games going.

In regards to BRM

Hi EmanuelC16,

Sorry to hear about the bad news at PLO, it must be rigged if you're not crushing

In regards to a different room to play at, you have accounts on pretty much all our best rooms. So we wont be able to get you any first deposit bonus's, since you have already played there.

It now depends what you want from the room. I think the competition is slightly easier at 888 in my experience. The only downside being that the VIP system wont be able to match the 30% rakeback from Unibet.

So depending what it is you want from the room, I would stick with Unibet for the rakeback or play 888 if you wanted the softer games.

Although there won't be a huge amount of difference in the standards of the players at 20nl. So if I were you, I would stick with Unibet getting 30% RB and start owning those 20nl regs!!!

Let me know if you have any other questions and best of luck!

Hi IGotYourOuts,

For 10nl full ring I would suggest 888. They have loads of action at full ring with really soft games. The software is easy to use aswell.

They also have a $888 first deposit bonus. They are really good for offering lots of extra bonus's aswell. When I played there if you just spoke to support they nearly always had a bonus code for you to use once you had cleared your first deposit bonus.

I really rated them and I hope you do well there

Hi 2Godfather1,

I think Betfair would be good for you. They have lots of SNG action aswell as PLO20.

They also offer a range of first deposit bonus's up to $2500! This can also be broken down into smaller parts to ensure you can earn the maximum in the 90 days you have to clear it! More details about the FDB can be found here.

One thing I would mention is PartyPoker are set to have a awesome promtion starting in March that would be worth playing in. Check it out here

Best of luck and let me know if you have any questions

Callum

Hi chameleontwo,

You mentioned in your post you liked Titan's software, Would you be happy playing on a diferent Ipoker skin that shares the same software? Or are you looking for a diferent network?

If you are happy with the Ipoker network then I would suggest William Hill who have a very similar first deposit bonus and VIP system as Titan.

Hi Zakis19,

Looks like your a serious grinder ♠_cool:

From the networks you mentioned I would suggest 24h Poker (Entraction) where we offer 30% rakeback aswell as a €1k first deposit bonus.

Also with your high volume I could see you placing in easily the top 10 in the €8k rake race we have there aswell!

So with all this I hope we reach your goal for the next 3 months ♠_biggrin:

+1 to entraction. I think its one of the best networks in our days for smaller stakes players. very weak player pool + good rewards. for microstakes players i suggest to take 30 % rakeback instead off VIP ( i don't know if ps gives VIP or rb, sadly my 24h poker acc is not tagged to ps)

1. Which game type you play? No limit

2. Which limit do you play? NL10

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

4. How much do you play? 10hrs per week

5. How many tables do you want to play? 4-6

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months? Reach/beat NL25

I currently play at Stars. I'm looking for a room with decent traffic for full ring tables but don't really want go to the following rooms - party poker, William hill, Ladbrokes and 888 as I already have accounts that aren’t tracked. I don’t really want to go back to PKR either because I struggle multi-tabling more than 2 tables.

Thanks in advance

Hi becky,
may I ask why do you "struggle multi-tabling more than 2 tables"at PKR?
I'm asking because I'm looking for available options for a new poker room for me.
Thanks.

Hey phoenix2104,

Unlike other poker rooms the tables are locked within main pkr software meaning that you cannot resize or move the tables individually. Once you start adding more tables, especially if you tile, everything gets really small. You can stack but there is no way to get the tables to pop up to the top when its your turn to act so you have to switch between them manually. Also, the cards are turned facedown automatically (as you would if playing live) so you cant just see the cards straight away, you have to click to turn the cards over every time. I find that this wastes time and you end up timing out.

I dont know what other people think about the software but these are the troubles i have had in the past. I think if you have a big enough screen you might be able to play more when you get used to things.

Hope this helps

What other sites have good gtd tourneys at micro stakes level apart from pokerstars, ipoker, party?
