TAIN Poker Network

Anyone know anything about it? Pokershare is back on it claiming its "Europes biggest network"

The cards are tiny but the rb deal and the whole pokershare idea is great, anyone know what the cash games and tournies are like?

I got the email too and i've been rumaging around the site but can't find anything about the rakeback on it!

Any idea how it works now and whether it's automatic or not?

Tain seems to be a swedish company so it's probably loads of scandies on it!

I assume your with rakeupdate? Log onto that, theres a message there - its 30% Pokershare also gave me 25$ for the pokershare points I had.

That's the one yeah.... silly me!

Found the 25$ too.

Ye I just noticed I got that $25 too. I liked the old Pokershare, so I think I might give this one a go too.

I only recognise one Skin on the Network though, that being Expekt.com, but never played on it before.

EDIT: The network's not listed on Rakerebatereview or bonuswhores and Pokerlistings say Expekt.com is a soon to be Prima Skin...

Um Expext left the Prima network to go to the Tain network so you're reading some very old news if it says they are a Prima skin.
It's almost exclusively a Scandie network without many known brands.
I don't know much about Pokershare which is offering the 30% rakeback but I do know that previously a skin on the network was doing that *BUT* the rakeback was only on pots which you won, this is *very* different from other rakebacks and made it appear a lot more attractive than it actually was, so check out if that is the case with Pokershare, it also was one of those deals where you had to pay x amount of $$ in rake per month to qualify.
I've never played on the network so I can't tell you what the games are like I'm afraid.

I quite like the software!
Yes the cards are a bit small but other than that it's good.
I've only played a few cash games there though. The 0.25/0.50 Limit game is as you'd expect and the 0.50/1 NL shorthand is quite ok. The players at my table are mostly weak tight which is nice Hopefully that large sample size holds through for all the other players

Seems to be a lot of people buying in short like on Tribeca

Ye it seems OK, I had a quick lash on the .10/.20 NL tables with my free $25 to see what it's like. The players were pretty standard for this level. Although for Scandies they were incredibly weak passive. Haven't played any tournaments yet though so can't comment on them or their structure, etc..

I quite like the Saved Search type facility in the Lobby. And the buddy list is nice.

Was very tempted not to mention this, Pokershare WSOP sattelite last Sunday 270$ FO 13 runners 1 $13k package. Think its 270 and 500 alternating Sundays.
As they are still not allowing new signups there should be similar value the next few weeks.

Im also finding the cash games soft, the players are weak but not afraid to stick it in.
