    Getting Off Topic Now:

    Main Points
    - Elky Good and Either French or Canadian...but sick sick player
    - PLO low to mid stakes good option for grinding and full of weak bad players
    - Pokeer is good :-)

    That he is, but he comes across pretty normal in that particular vid.

    Speaking from a neutral perspective, id say ipoker is amongst the worst places to play .50/1 right now.

    defo ipoker


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    defo ipoker

    About 10 active tables, some 6 handed, some 10, biggest average pot is $18, average i about $12.

    Is it really tight?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,615 ✭✭✭Mr.Plough


    Ipoker is full of nits living off rb and bonuses, last time I checked anyway.

    Stars is soft, even the regs usually play 20/15 ish and are pretty exploitable. No rb though.

    Havn't played 100nl on FT but I would guess it's better than ipoker mainly due to traffic and rb is a plus.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,513 ✭✭✭RoadSweeper


    Stars and FT has loads of fish still, plus ridiculous good software.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 516 ✭✭✭The Improver


    No more fish on ipoker. FACT


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,139 ✭✭✭Wreck


    No more fish on ipoker. FACT

    I'm still there, and I'm a total fish.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,754 ✭✭✭ianmc38


    Boss/Ongame have good traffic and alot softer than Ipoker, also good rb. Stars/FTP are the best software wise.

    This ipoker thing confuses me TBH...

    There appears to be a general consensus that ipoker is mostly populated with multitabling rakeback nits.

    Given that, relatively speaking, ipoker has one of the poorest "rakeback"/VIP structures available and relatively tough games, what is the attraction for these types of players??

    Are they all on legacy deals from previous networks or am I missing someting in terms of the attraction?

    100% of your rake. I cant see how anyone cannot be on it.

    Ipoker certainly doesn't have the worst rb deal. Pretty much the opposite.

    Right, I'm currently on iPoker and came across this thread. I haven't played a few months but put in 9k+ hands in the last two days 9 tabling .25/.50. The games definitely aren't ridiculously soft or anything, but they're easily beatable and the good rb deal makes me feel all warm and fussy inside.

    I do want to "move up levels" though, and if they're going to get much much tougher then I would consider the move.
    So, where to?

    Stars is a no go for me. Firstly because of a lack of rb and secondly because that's where I play my tourneys and I don't want to mix the two.

    FT, I have always heard that cash games where tough there. Is that no longer the case?

    Ongame/Boss. Ian, you mention these, is there really enough traffic to satisfy 9 tabling at stakes .25/.50 to 1/2? Even during the day? If so, will you pm me rb info etc.

    Any other options for a multi tabling nit wannabe?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,754 ✭✭✭ianmc38


    Boss has 35-40 tables at .25/.50 right now. Ongame Im not sure but i suspect it has the same. Definitely more than enough to 9 table on one site, let alone both!

    Cheers Ian. I'll download both in a while and take a look, see how they look/feel. Whats the story with the software? Many crashes / network problems etc? Surely they're better than iPoker :rolleyes:

    Just read some bad things about multi-tabling on Boss. I'll have a look at ongame later.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,513 ✭✭✭RoadSweeper


    On game is 5 max and the software is meh
    Is v fast and you'll get serious hand per hour, but i think modifications are best for the software.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,854 ✭✭✭zuutroy


    Ongame is eyegougingly awful to multitable even after modding.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,083 ✭✭✭max_power


    Is there much PLO traffic on ongame/boss at microstakes up to .50/1?

    Link ? :)

    imho, software is pretty poor, if you can 9 table their software I'd be well impressed. I'd love to watch someone do that ( head hurts just thinking about it:( )


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,956 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    software on boss isn't the best and i seem to time out on tables alot, i also found the different currencies a bit of a pain, as PT calculate everything in dollars... currencies are DOLLAR, EURO and TRY.

    I think the games on both the networks are worth giving up the few luxuries for. It's going to be nigh on impossible to find that many good games on Ipoker these days.

    max_power PLO action on Boss is minimal in mid and high stakes. There are about 15-20 games running now between .05/.10 and .50/1. During peak hours I'm sure this number is bigger.

    jimbling, maybe you should give the Cereus network a try. Supposedly the games are very good there. Theyre the 5th busiest network right now as well according to Pokerscout so Im sure they have a ton of SSNL traffic.

    Loyalty scheme is going to be less than what you get on the Euro networks, but can still get over 50 when bonuses etc are taken into account.
