i have an existing account on FTP, so i asked today..

they told me that i cannot get rakeback on an account through affiliate..

so what are my other options?

the problem is I need much traffic on this site because i want to grind a lot, so iam thinking to grind at stars but the vip/rake program sucks.

maybe someone has a better idea..

thx for helping

Anyway, that's just an example of how some of the posting here can skew recommendations, and non-US players need to be aware of it.

That's not the point. Why would you want to hurl yourself at the best SSNL players in the business when trying to build a roll?
That's just ******ed.

OP, my advice is get rakeback for FT and play on cake in the meantime. Games will be a lot softer for sure and the rakeback deal is better, although that won't make a huge difference.
Playing against good/better players is important. That's how you'll get better yourself and eventually beat higher stakes games.
when you feel alert and confident, play on FT against better players and focus as much as you can. Even if you end up in a slightly -EV game against a good reg, take it as a coaching fee.
Analyse your sessions seriously to save on these expensive lessons as much as possible...
Go back to cake and crush the fish-ridden games all the harder.
Back to FT and start all over again, etc....

PS: That's kind of off thread but, learn PLO! When you have a decent roll, start playing HU PLO cash. Trust me, that's all I can say...

Why not iPoker? More traffic, better cashback deals and as least as soft games.

Pokerstars has become unbeatable at SnG's with reg infested games. I am looking for a new site preferably offering rakeback and lots of SnG traffic. The softer the better.

So far I can see FTP? Party, IPoker

it depends a bit on exactly what level/games you mean and also on volume of play.

more info will lead to better advice.

Will probably deposit something like $100 and play something like NL5. My play time will be from 1h-4h daily.

I see a lot of new sites with crazy RB but I am afraid they might be scam ( as some players reporting here. )

So it's important that site is trustworthy

idk about euro-facing sites but between full tilt, stars, and cake network at that level the best deal is stars as far as rake goes. additionally they have the best mtt schedule at micro levels. their sngs could use some rake adjusting/filling in at the lowest buyins, but they have a wide variety and good traffic for those also.

stars takes 5 cents for each whole dollar at the whole dollar increment.
tilt and cake take a penny every 15 cents. even with rakeback factored in stars comes out ahead.

there may be some additional factors like a first time deposit bonus you can take advantage of that could sway the math a little if those are available to you.

hope that helps a little.

Hi,
I am sure this gets asked a lot, but at the moment the only real site i play at is pkr.com. but i don't like their multi tables (id prefer to have each table visible in its own window, not just a mini view), and am currently not getting any rake back.

Also, I want to use a decent HUD program to display basic player stats (i currently use poker officer on pkr.com).

what would you recommend?

thanks

Yes, what good advice for a non-US player.



OP, you're right, it does get asked a lot. Have you checked out the plethora of other threads on the topic?

How do you even know I'm not from the US :P? (I'm from uk btw.)

Is there a reason why FP & PS are not good for non us players?


And yeah, i've done lots of searching and reading of threads in this forum/rakeback forum/software forum . there are just so many options for everything though, especially when it comes to rakeback.

As i am currently with pkr.com and not getting rakeback, i'm going to stop using them soon. Apparently they refuse to let you have rakeback once you've signed up. Chances are i'll lose a bunch of money soon anyway and need to top up (bit of a noob to online poker ) so will have a good chance to swap sites.

I'm thinking of joining FTP and using cardrunners rakeback program ( http://www.fastrakeback.com/rakeback...ilt-Poker.aspx ) seeing as you get free copy of hold'em manager, and from what i've read, its meant to be quite good hud software (is this true? is there a better option)

Only concern if i do go with them, is that i have to earn $100 in rakeback first... which may take a while (i mostly play hold em NL $0.25 - 0.50... so would take a lottt of large pots)

The more i look into rakeback though the more options there are (like all this freeroll and rakeraces - which i still don't really get what they are)

Also, in FTP you can have multiple tables in their own windows, correct? (this post http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...&postcount=481 seems to suggest they do ) I think the only thing with FTP i'm not sure about is withdrawing money to UK... do they charge for this? they have no mention of it on http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/withdrawal
