Not sure what's allowed in the UK, but RunItOnce is launching in some form on Wednesday I think.

I've never played MTTs, so no idea which sites have them other than the obvious.

RIO, good call. Could be a great option if the site picks up steam.

PokerStars last 2 years threat like ****!

My recommendation is to NOT deposit there and play there ,

1. They start to take money from accounts
2. Need 4 5 days to answer on support mail,
3. Forzing accounts without reasons.
4. Rakeback is **** and promotins are so bad as opposed to other sites.
5. Last few months site is crushing often.
6. Cashouts take to long.

hey wanted to know if i can play on pokerstarscom while having a french bank account but living in tunisia ?

Looking for:

- Rakeback and lots of traffic on 10NL-25NL

- Ideally, support for PT4 - I don't actually care much about the HUD, but results tracking.

Ps. I'm from Sweden.

So i am loking to play some micro's - build a roll. Stars seems best games, no RB. Party is tough games. Ipoker no HEM2. MG same. Anyone have any other suggestions for playing 10-50NL these days - or are we all just destined to swap money and pay the man until everyone is broke ?

Personally I think it's come full circle where every site is almost as tough and the higher rake, **** volume and **** software isn't worth it so just play on Stars I guess, as much as we all hate them.

If you don’t mind using BTC, swcpoker.eu has the softest ssnl around, the lowest rake of any site in the world (to my knowledge), bbjp tables that don’t take extra rake, plenty of small mtts and satellites that overlay, allows multiple accounts, doesn’t require any dox other than email address (and BTC wallet if you plan to withdraw) and doesnt support any huds

It definitely seems like a great place for rec players to play. Mid/hi NL pros prob won’t find enough action, unless playing at HU tables. If I played nlhe I might not be shilling to the 2p2 crowd. But i play the oddball games and hope you guys come play badeucy after a big win. I’ve certainly done my share of reciprocating at the nl tables so it’s only fair

Can you explain how that is a good thing for the games?

For 5/10 cash games would anyone recommend party over stars?

Been playing on stars and there’s 0% rakeback at those stakes (not that the rakeback at lower stakes is much better).

Main concerns about party is their security - what’s the situation on bots? Also do they allow HUD’s? On stars the field seems softer, is it the same on party or have all the regs moved over?

Appreciate any input and thanks in advance

Any sites other than Stars that have a zoom alternative for PLO at .5/1 and/or 1/2? Never seems to be running on Party or 888... Preferably non anonymous tables as well, but not a dealbreaker.

yeah but you don't understand how much i hate them

does anyone play betfair poker (UK company) ? just wanted to know their traffic (not showing on poker scout for some reason but client showing 5K players online )

In the same way Unibet allows people to change names, people can create as many swcpoker accounts as they want, giving people the option to be anon (which recs seem to enjoy; see ignition/bovada) if they want.

But there’s some incentive to play one account, since your rakeback is determined by the total amount of your non-expiring lifetime rake. So for example, I have gotten to 33% rb tier cuz I play on only one account. But others might prefer to make a new name every session, if they are embarassed by their results. It’s a good equilibrium and gives recs and regs what they each might want, respectively.

But like I said in the rest of the post you didn’t quote, there’s plenty of other reasons to play there as well. Lowest rake in industry, no extra rake bbjp, and everything from tiny micro to high stakes (where the rake is exceptionally low)

Is it trustworthy though? Seem like prime conditions for an exit scam once enough people deposit.

Cash is like 5-10 tables / stake eu times.

They’ve been around for 7 years without missing a payout (I’ve only played for 4 so idk as much about pre-2015. That’s not to say they won’t run off w everybody’s money at some point, but current withdrawal times can be anywhere from 30 min to 12 hours after request. People start to ***** in chat when it’s been 6 hours cuz most of the pool is more familiar w BTC than they are w standard withdrawal times for a poker site.

There’s nosebleed games at times that are fun to watch when guys have 5 BTC on the table but it’s mostly smaller action if playing ring nlhe. Right now at 4:30 est there’s a couple full 9 handed bbjp tables going and one bigger shorhanded game and one tiny micro game (they don’t even rake these games bc they are so tiny). There’s a higher % of non-nlhe games than any of the public sites and some of the Stars “other games” players have come over to play mix, big O, etc

You go to Stars rewards thread, everyone is hating on stars, you go to Party thread everyone is hating on Party. Clearly, there is no perfect site to play on Today. Peronally, i want that rakeback, and as a long time Stars player i am now prepared to leave and play on other sites. Can we make a list, a personal list with perhaps short comment of your top 3+ sites to play cash games in 2019. For me the most important by far is rakeback and player pool (how many games are running and how many fish are playing) followed by rake, bots, customer service, software i guess, not allowing external software (HUDs)..etc. You can write your own criteria.

As i said , i am just leaving stars now, not much experience with other sites, but right now my list, in no particular order:

1. Party (2nd largest site, 40% RB)
2. WPN (US players, decent RB)
3. RIO (Phil, good RB)
4. GG Network (more fish, decent RB, strange software way too many setups which i can't explain hopefully just variance)
5. PPPoker (US players, terrible software i find it hard to focus for longer time with not the best eyesight)
6. Chico Network (haven't played yet, heard good things that there is a lot of fish)

I tried William hill and some other poker sites. Sometimes I get a popup saying bc Canada laws doesn't permit me to play online poker or casino. Unless I play at their crummy bclc govt poker site. Anywhere i can go to play online poker? Im just looking to play one day a week in tournaments online

At the moment i play 10Nl on pokerstars. Becuase of high rake and very low rakeback i consider moving to other site. My volume is not great, on avrage i play 5 - 7 hours a week, 4 regular or 2 fast tables at once. I want to be able to track my hands and get better rakeback or at least not that high rake like pokerstars have. Any suggestions where else i can play?

try microgaming, you can get a good rb deal and they have lowest rake caps. BUT from what i understand they are about to anonymize tables sometime soon, or already have implemented anon tables. not sure about traffic and botting, too. maybe it makes sense for you to try grinding deposit bonuses on different sites with a good rb deal on top. good luck

Do they allow US players?

Yes, SWC accepts players from the US.

Hey all

I have no idea where I should play online. Im playing MTTs. I currently live in slovakia and poker is restricted, so I can play on the following sites (they dont provide services):

PS, PP, 888

Where I can play :
ACR, Chico, Ipoker (bet365), GGnetwork

Could you please suggest some sites where I could play?
I like playing on ACR but the tournament schedule is not very good since I reside in europe and the time zone stuff is restricting me to only playing a few tournaments.

Same applies for BOL, but I cant bear the software. I have terrible lag issues there. Other than that, I love Chico, but the software is terrible. Is the lag less significant on other skins than BOL? Anybody experienced with that here?

GG network - I dont like the idea you cant use HUD, also the tournament schedule on natural8 was absolutely ******ed for me, and the structure was also kinda bad for my taste. You can even bumhunt at cash tables - ridiculous.

Ipoker (bet365) - now, I can play here, this is an option for me. Anybody experienced with MTTs there? Do you like it there?


Thx fora any suggestions, Im namely looking for new sites/networks to play.

Thx
