Hey, I'm from Portugal and the biggest websites here are either completely blocked or have a segregated pool.
I've played a bit on pokerstars (portugal/spain/france pool) and from what I've seen the regular microstakes tables are pretty soft, though I found zoom to be very nitty and tough to beat.
The other available site is 888. The pool is very soft, however, the games are usually dead during the day, which makes me not want to play there.
We also have access to ACR, but I've been told the players are typically a lot better than on the other sites, and with me being kind of new to poker I'm not sure that it would be the best place to start.

With all this said, what would you do? Keep playing on stars or try out ACR? Maybe I could split the BR across the sites.

Thank you

How many players do find on that Pokerstars pool during peak times? I'm Canadian and play on Pokerstars(not your pool obviosuly) and during peak times I find 65k-70k+ total player pool. I just came back and started playing cash in Oct 2022. I play 2nl full-ring and the player pool is pretty soft. FWIW I think you'll find anything tables that are fast like zoom, Spin n Goes and 6-max tables will be harder or have more regulars. Fast table/games and 6-max tables provide a lot more volume for the time spent so that's where the better players mostly.

Personally as a guy who's tried 888, Blackchip, Party poker and GG poker. I stay on Pokerstars.

With that said doesn't and it won't hurt to try else where. You never know we like something different. Anyway good luck at the tables no matter what site you play.


Cheers!!!
