    Hi guys,

    I really need some suggestions on a decent site to play on. I am currently playing on Full Tilt ,but am losing interest and getting annoyed of the site.

    I'm an STT/MTT player mostly that plays some low stake cash like 0.50/1/ 1/2
    If you have any site suggestions i would be most appreciative. Decent rake back would also be nice.

    Sites that I have already used and dont wanna play on : iPoker, Ladbrokes, Paradise, Full Tilt, Poker Stars

    Cheers

    There seems to be only one half decent site left, thats ulimatebet, you can get rakeback as well, and a good deposit bonus.

    Absolute is fairly soft for MTTs

    I wouldn't play at AP or UB out of principle. (However 2/4 - 10/20 has apparently gotten much easier in both due to defections of 2p2ers.)

    I'm not sure of the RB offers for Party but at these levels there is supposedly quite a large base of fish.

    No disussing RB deals here.

    By the sounds of things the only real sites left for you are Crypto or Prima skins with RB, or Party without RB.

    I personally wouldn't play on Absolute or UB but you can get RB on both.

    pokerroom/mansion seem to have decent mtts aswell.



    Neither site have any affiliation to me or any company I work for, there may be a tiny tiny knock on effect if it keeps people playing poker they may one day play at the same table as me or in a company I work for/play in. I will admit to having accounts on both sites but havent lodgded money on either site in a long time so while I/a company I work for may profit from this post any profit will be negligible.

    How many times can you mention rakeback before it's considered discussing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,537 ✭✭✭Ste05


    Offers and links etc. can't be posted.

    People can discuss it in general but need to be careful it's not pimping.

    Well if you're a guy who likes to play a fair bit of cash I cleaned up on Betfair over the weekend. I had some astounding luck as well, but in general I was catching a good flop and letting someone else bet into me.

    And Birmingham/AC Milan/West Ham/Bayern all scoring late goals didn't do me so badly either.

    I'd suggest going back to PPP. I hear there are glitches in their software which allow the clever ones to make up to 15k profit!

    Have not played on PokerRoom in a few years,whats it like these days...?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,881 ✭✭✭bohsman


    Seems ok, took me a while to get used to it, when its all in on their backs the % figures go up which is a novelty for a few minutes. Still wouldnt move there from stars or FT though.

    Find out which seat is winning most often, then get down to 100 chips in a sng, you are then a shoe in for victory.

    Hi

    There are some nice 2nd Tier Sites I would recommend you take a look at (because of play, bonuses, promotions or all) that seem to fit your requirements.

    Carbon-part of the Merge Gaming Network and is the former Poker.Com with nice improvements. It is a small cozy site, but growing quickly in popularity. The software has the best "look"

    The software has some unique, interesting features. Besides a nice resizing table feature available on many sites, they have a "rabbit hunting" feature and a "one card exposed" feature . They also include a
    "buddy list" feature where you can incorporate notes.

    Cake-This room is one of the newer operations, but has grown rapidly in part because of its unique promotions, excellent support, and an attractive software design.

    The room has a truly interesting feature that allows players to change their Screen Name once a week. This deters use of popular Poker Tracking Programs (although if you keep manual notes-they transfer to the new screen name). They also have a Hand History Replay feature that allows you to send hands to your friends so they can share your glory or criticize your play.

    Bodog-This room is famous for its Fish-laden extremely loose games. The key is playing at a table where there is a good chance some of the players came from the Sportsbook or Casino.
    The software has a bit of a different, modern look then you will find at the other rooms. Their guaranteed Tournaments have become well-known to have nice overlays.

    Sun-This room, formerly known as Caribbean Sun Poker, is part of the CryptoLogic Network which insures you will have plenty of players since the site shares tables with InterPoker, William Hill Poker, and others.

    This room may be for people who are looking for slightly more experience at the tables, as it appears it is not a complete fish-fry full of players who call every street and river. One of the reasons might be the stakes are a little higher, not offering some of the micro-stakes available at other rooms.

    And I also like Mansion ( they have recently switched to the Ongame Network (26 Poker
    Rooms) and as a result you will find a nice increase in player traffic) as well


    Hope this helps

    signed up to Betdaq there recently (a new Irish poker room). It looks really nice (!) and they have very good rakeback imo. Low-level cash games are absolutely crazy though. Haven't looked at the tournies yet.
