Pokersite Suggestions? Where should I play? (ROW/Outside of US) - Page 82 - Internet Poker

You can pay 10bb rake and still have bigger winrate at 888 than stars.

You should check out microgaming if you can. Lower rake and games run 24/7 w/ your needs. And ongame is basicly moving there so the games must be good at micros.

Im looking for a site that has decent traffic at the cash micro level, hopefully somewhere i could play 2-4 tables if i wanted, decent software (i considered party poker but i just cant stand the look of their site) and obviously softer competition. My thoughts before this post were either 888 or Pokerstars, but i heard poker stars is tough is this true for even the lowest of stakes?

Any help much appreciated, sorry for my long post and a questions thats probably been asked thousands of times before

If you don't use a HUD/Script then you might want to consider Unibet. This month they have a promo that if you play 20 hands for 5 days a week (any stake) you get a free 40euros. Furthermore at the lowest stakes the rake is either 1% or 3%. They have a welcome bonus of 200euro regardless of your deposit amount.

Really? I can't find anything like that on their page.

But yeah, agree unibet will be a good choice, it's a little weird at first if you are used to other sites, but it's really soft and the promotions are really good, especially in comparison of what a microstakes player rakes. Just minstack (2€ buy in at NL2) and your ~50USD deposit should be fine.

Anyone know a site that compares rake at the same stakes across different sites?

Also, 888, Ignition, stars, winning or party? Basically any of the larger networks. Looking for a larger (& weaker) player pool, rakeback (or sustainable bonuses) and lower rake. Very simple

Thanks from Canada!

One of those choices are not like the others. Ignition is US-only; I assume you mean Bodog (.eu or 88).

Not to be a nit - just don't want you to be puzzled when you can't create an Ignition account.

Lol thanks for the heads up.

Any suggestions, Bobo? Best site to play that has a larger, yet, weaker pool, lower rake & rakeback or bonuses? Help a fellow nit from Canada out!

If anyone has a site to compare take at different stakes, that's awesome too.

I think microgaming has the lowest rake and they have flat 30% rakeback (need to sign using aff that lifts you to highest vip) and good races etc. Games are good allso. Dont know if they accept people from canada though.

Not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask, but I will try. I have had bad luck in trying to pick sites to play on. Ultimate Bet, Cake, Full Flush. I have seen bankrolls disappear in cyberspace and never appear again.

I like to play pl omaha hilo and am looking for a site that will actually payout on a timely basis. I am Canadian.

Any suggestions?

There VIP program is different compared to most as rb is achieved via points earned and is somewhat player dependent. With monthly missions/promos etc. you would probably be in the 25-30% range.

I'm Canadian as well and games at the lowest stakes run 24 hours and slow down at the 25NL+ stakes from 10pm-4am.

For cash games and stakes between nl5-nl20 MPN might be the best choice right now. It s a good option for higher stakes tho and for plo too. NL50+ there are plenty sites Chico,ACR asian and stuff to mix up. I believe you cannot grind seriously only one site for stakes nl100+. If you mix stakes f.e nl100-nl200 then it can be done but select from 3-4 sites tables fits better for your winrate

Also, given that you are from Canada, which MPN client is best? I know some offer better (easier to clear) bonuses and accept Canadians while others don't.

Lastly, the CAD$ is weak and I want to avoid exchange rates/conversion fees, would it matter much if a site offered EUR only or both EUR&USD?

I've decided to go with Unibet or a MPN skin. Kind of narrows it down, lol.

You cant use scripts in unibet because the seating is random. And they constantly change the tables cards or something so the screenscrape huds don't work. Or atleast thats what the reps are saying.

Gonna start with unibet for time being. Sect7g, I pm'ed you for your opinion. Was also wondering if you can retrieve HHs for Unibet? I'm sure there has to be a way. Gotta be stored somewhere.

Which site is more advantageous in terms of "rakeback" at the moment, Pokerstars or FTP? Seems I'm not getting any kind of rakeback since the highway robbery a.k.a. Stars' complete revamp of their reward system, and since Stars owns FTP and the platform is shared... AFAIK I can only benefit by buying into sats and tournaments with starscoins.

Which other sites are good right now? FWIW I reside in Finland and strongly prefer plo with 5-6 cards to normal plo. Nowadays I mainly play micro/ss plo and mixed games with the occasional MTT's. Recreationally, just 1-4 tables and no additional software.

Are there any other online poker sites except party and bwin which offers casual cash game tables to play on? I mean casual tables when you can join only one of those tables at a time and no other cash game tables at all.
