Poker friends,

After reading stuff on this forum almost daily I decided to make an account. Because I really wanted to ask you guys something.

As some of you probably know they closed PokerStars.fr for people outside France. I really liked it because of the soft fields, small fields, software and matching buy ins (3-22). I would like to replace stars.fr with something similar.

What do you guys think? What will match my criteria the best as a sng/mtt grinder? I already play on 888/stars/winamax.

PT4 supports
- GTECH G2
- iPoker
- Merge Network
- MicroGaming (MPN)
- OnGame Network
- PartyPoker
- Revolution Gaming Network
- Winning Poker Network (Yatahay)

Do you guys have experience with these sites? What site(s) do you recommend and what sites absolutely not?

Thanks in advance guys!

Thank God u still have access to winamax, maybe increase the volume there :P

PartyPoker might be the best choice from your list, I heard they have decent fields and players up to 22$ are bad anyway everywhere

I have seen 6bb limp-folds on ft on ipoker, they have some nice games in your buy-in range. The structures of $5 and $22 on Party are awful unless you want to play turbo speed games.

I was in a similar situation , first i moved to ipoker and despite the tourneys being super soft the software was beyond terrible , you can't stack tables because your hud shows you tripple stats and tables don't pop up when its your turn . If you decide to tile tables don't be surprised if your hud randomly gets turned off and refuses to start working again.

Looked @ those american sites but they aren't really offering much of value to Europeans unless you play super late at night.

Ended up playing @ party and it's a decent replacement so far . Although volume wise there isn't that much to play in the <$22 range . If you move up and add some $55 party suddenly becomes very good value.

I'm not sure how much it matters at your buyin, just play whatever software/structures you like, everything at 5-22$ will be soft, even party and stars.

Stars and 888 is all you need for that buyin range imo. Party seems very weighted towards $109 plus buyins all the promotions and incentives go to those players. The guys at the bottom of the pyramid have slim picking at $22 and under when it comes to guarantees.

Seems to me like 888 and stars do equally little for those mtt players? I suppose stars gives you the least bad rakeback.

Wasn't referring to rakeback was volume of decent games to play. Also when you start playing on 5 different networks at once becomes difficult to manage all those different sites for me anyway. When i said promotions on party just meant all the focus is on growing the $109+ mtts while the micro and small stakes stagnate at small guarantees.

There are regs who play on multiple sites without tableninja or stack & tile? O_o

Microgaming is very soft. Softer as iPoker even its hard to believe
But not so much action there. The fields are small.

Thanks for you replies guys.

Maybe I give PartyPoker a try. The 'big' player pool appeals to me anyway.
And about iPoker. I see there are many cardrooms. Which is the best one? TitanPoker? Or are the cardrooms combined in 1 big player pool?
