I used to play at around the 25nl limit on pokerstars but packed it in about 5 years ago. I'd like to get back to playing, probably 10nl to start, and was wondering if pokerstars is still the place to be? I used to have rackeback on Full Tilt and a couple of iPoker sites but FT imploded and the iPoker software used to drive me mad.

Are there any other sites worth trying that have popped up in the last 5 years even if its just to clear a deposit bonus?

Any other tips for online poker in 2019?

Thanks

p.s I'm UK based if that makes any difference.

You'll probably find 10NL today is a lot tougher than 25NL was five years ago.

Rakeback is almost non-existent on Stars, but they do various deposit bonuses. For UK players, the best alternatives are probably Party, 888 and Unibet, but all have their pros and cons.

I'm kind of reluctant to bkuz they're soft and I don't wanna invite a bunch of crushers.. you have to promise me that you're absolutely ******ed, or, at least diabetic, and only gonna play when ur blood sugar is low

LP is having a bad day. Hope he doesn't cross a line.......

DDD, if you think about it..... if someone had a golden cash cow off the beaten trail, would he/she announce it to the world?

Well, suggesting Asian sites and then refusing to name any seems like a bit of a dick move.

I dont particularly want to google "asian poker sites" and then hope the one i pick is legit.

Being a dick move is your opinion. Again...from my post.....sharing a cash cow that hasn't been found by other grinders is a faux pas that most of the winners refuse to do when discussing strat with strangers on an internet forum.

What is the benefit of sharing?

Additionally, the under-theme is that once you start looking for a site that is not "popular"...you might find your own cash cow. You won't be able to multitable as easily or get in massive volume that some seek because the "unpopular" sites are .....er, less populated. But when you get on a table, there is usually a greater chance of it not being reg-infested.

Let's get this straight -- you come into the thread not knowing anything about these sites, he gives you free information about soft pokersites you didn't know about before, and now it's a dick move that he didn't give you enough free information about sites you knew nothing about before???

I think your attitude here is kind of a dick move tbh.

If you don't want to do your research, ship me $100 and I can tell you a bunch about the sites he's referencing. Lmao.

derpaderp, telling you is one thing (i want to) but i cant pm you. and i dont wanna post it on a public forum. what do you suggest i do? : /
fyi the benefit of me sharing would be, i get your rakeback, and assume that you're not a crusher ie good for the community - just so everything is out in the open.

also, from the sound of things, if i say too much, som1 gonna try 2 break my knees.

Been playing on PartyPoker and Unibet, both seem softer than Stars. Tried researching asian sites but struggled to find useful info from reputable sites. Most seemed to indicate that the UK is on the excluded countries list for most sites meaning you need to use a VPN. I dont really want to do that though as i dont want my bank roll to be confiscated.
