Dont think Ipoker is better than Micro - only a few good tourneys imo
Micro have a 16€ rebuy which has a sweet structure and soft field Think its 20K GTD

I dont really care if regs tell other regs about their secret goldmines, but im struggling to understand the point.
Because every ****** in the world can look this **** up and figure it out/will have figured it out eventually. This saves time and effort when the info is in one place. Its not like its some massive secret that ZOMG there are small sites out there with great value!

Plus there is a ton of difference between random promo's/rakeback run on different skins and such. Why not have a place to discuss that? Lots of regs, myself included, will still not play at a bunch of your gold mines just because of a lot of random issues anyways man, don't worry you will still be able to grind out those overlays

These days there are few, if any, overlays. I remember when the Friday and Saturday night FTP 163's would get overlays of $40-$50 per person with super soft fields. Or the USA Coop with overlays of $100+ per person. Or best of all, grinding on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve when an otherwise breakeven player could literally make thousands of Sklansky bucks.

The glory days of huge overlays are over. It was difficult for Americans to deposit on a whim for higher stakes MTTs, thus creating big overlays on occasion.

In my limited time on Euro sites, I haven't seen a single overlay to write home about. That's surprising, given that Ongame/iPoker/Entraction don't allow late registration.

I'll be in Cabo on December 24 and 25, and I'm hoping for some old school overlays!

Used to <3 the $109 30k Guar 6max at 11pm EST on FTP. That thing overlayed literally every night it was great! oh and the overlays in all their late night guaranteed satties. Too bad they always just took overlays out of your MGR tho. UB had some awesome overlays all the time as well.

New years should be another great day for overlays this year! Nothing better htan not giving a **** about any random days of the year our society tells us is important!

I was thinking of flying on NYE to save on airfares but maybe I should just pretend to leave so I can grind out that equity and fly the next day

This sentiment strikes me as similar to balancing in random soft mtts.

So I'm trying to get this ish figured out.

Titan Poker (ipoker)- Have an account here from years ago, going to get it reinstated and deposit via Moneybookers. Probably doesn't have rakeback or anything but oh well. Tournaments are in USD so voila, good site to be on.

Betfair (Ongame)- Don't have an account here. Do they have direct rakeback or just bonuses? Highly unlikely I'll be able to clear anything but whatever, I'd give it a try. also in USD so hooray.

RPM or Carbon (Merge)- Haven't played on these. Safe for Canadians re: cashouts? I have a Carbon account but somehow screwed up the rakeback thing so I'd have to email them to get that fixed. Doesn't seem like there is a ton of great tournaments or anything but if it is connected to Moneybookers, it would be easy enough.

Already on Party and Stars.

Have I exhausted good Canadian/USD friendly sites?

Thanks.

try to get some deals with rb from affiliates for ipoker and ongame.

i also used to play on betsafe(og) and betfred ( ipoker ) with no deals, just signed directly signed up because i liked the skins and knew they were big brands. now i switched to goalwin ( og ) and williamhill for ipoker in order to get rakeback. hope the new accounts run well

i just saw ongame have a 11fo timebank beta. good times comming ?

Luke I'd recommend scrapping your existing accounts and going with some other stuff since you have easy access to moneybookers.

ipokervip is a pretty solid affiliate that can set you up with 60% rakeback at a reputable ipoker skin. For Ongame I'm currently using Betsafe but you can get set up with a sign up bonus that equates to 62.5% rakeback for the first $1k and then 20-40% rakeback from VIP depending on how much you rake (though Betfair probably does this too).

Wouldn't touch Merge with a ten foot pole but RPM/Carbon/Lock seem like good bets. Have been hearing about 888 and Micro; will probably try those once I finish this Ongame bonus up.

Couldn't I play on Merge when I visit home, though? Cash out any excess before I leave Canada and screw around at home or something.

Also, I can't find all of these mysterious rakeback deals.

I forgot about 888 as well. What about them?

Sorry I find all of this much more annoying than I did 5 years ago hah.

I`m on the same skins for both- goalwin support has always been surprisingly good for me, even if a bit late. Sometimes though their hands are tied as ongame runs the show obv- like when I won 2 sattelite packages I had to sell one of them rather than get tournament dollars or anything

Nothing but good things to say about ipokervip. I also feel the same way about merge atm :P

iPokerVIP and the guy who founded it is awesome. They dont offer the absolute RB deals, i.e you can find better but the support is awesome, rb paid promptly and they can sort things out w different skins if ur ever having problems

Does 888 have rakeback?

Most of the rakeback deals with these smaller sites require you talk to someone directly and ask them what kind of deal is possible. This may be helpful: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/49...cement182.html

you can get 50-60% rakeback on ongame and ipoker pretty easily. 888 doesn't exist anymore though, i heard if you try and download the software you get a virus

On a serious note, be careful with 888.
If you dont log on for a period of 6 months 10% of your balance is taken (well documented on 2+2)

Support is terrible in general (in.fact they pretty much lie to players), and i am currently trying to get a refund on some mtts due to disconnection caused by them with no joy.....

haha yeah thats true- even the €1 million gtd FCOOP smashed its guarantee, ending at over 1.5 mill- the sites have their sats pretty sorted nowadays- overlays really are very rare. Im shocked at the continued lack of late reg on some sites- wud have thought they`d have corrected that long ago

Why are you shocked, when poker networks are almost exclusively run by clueless idiots who dont know their market or how to get the best from it.
