If its not Pokerstars or Full Tilt..who is it?

#1 18th January 2009, 4:11 AM

Hey all,

I am just wondering what your thoughts are on other poker rooms other than Pokerstars and Full Tilt. I plan on being a ring player. What other poker rooms would you suggest that is good for ring games? Ipoker network? Titan poker? I've heard so much trash about UB and Absolute so I don't think I'll be depositing there.

thanks in advance

I feel there are alot of weak players on bodog.
Not as much traffic/tournaments.
Should not matter to a ring player what stakes are you playing?

Stay where you are!!! Poker Stars and FT are the best by far!!!!

playing 0.25/0.50nl hoping to move up to 1/2nl eventually though.

Bodog has action at both of those levels pretty much 24hrs a day.
If you are playing during grandpa hours Monday-Friday 5:00a.m.-11:00a.m. the action might be a little thin

Ipoker is great regarding ringgames. Lots of action and pleasent software. I wouldd choose Ipoker anytime.

LOL - I resemble that remark, except for the hours. I'm a proverbial retired 'grandpa' - but I do my best work late at nite. By 5am the eyelids are just sealing shut until about 10am. I love sleeping while the rest of the world fights rush hour traffic ...

Not sure you'll find any site with more options and running tables than Stars and FT. Even at off hours there are numerous NL tables to pick from. On the smaller sites there are fewer tables open at any one time than on the larger sites.

Also, as already mentioned, why would it make a difference? You are playing a ring at a 6 or 9 seat table, not a huge field MTT.

In my personal opinion I would recommend Bodog, however, you need to play by american time and not UK time, as during UK peak times you are swimming with the sharks.

Fulltiltpoker & Ultimate bet are best poker sites in my opinion. ;D
Try playing at Ultimate bet, its good and big poker site. Goodluck.

#12 18th January 2009, 7:52 PM

I have played in PokerStar, FullTilt and some times I play in Titan Poker.

I like playing the badbeat tables at micro sites like intertops,doyles,ect.or possibly merge sites like reeferpoker,carbon.Id shy away from cake and the goldchip network until you have played there some.

#14 19th January 2009, 1:22 AM

If you want to hit a jackpot play the lotto, slot machine, ect . . .
Why pay a high rake especially at the low limit tables?

#15 19th January 2009, 6:34 AM

Doyles Room is good too , pkr is entertaining and can be really easy at low levels.

I agree.

depends what your looking for in terms of volume... if your playing multiple tables and putting in some time...then IMO your silly for not at least looking at cake just for there rakeback program...

ive been slowing down at bodog.... but theres still some life left in those cash tables... but beware theres some regulars there who dont mind taking stacks haha

i recently moved to pokerstars just for the sheer size of it... you cant help but run into fish..theres just to many people...

now i frequent all three...and if you play at any of them you just may run into me... see ya then and good luck haha

Ipoker and PartyPoker are great for ring games! Be patient and wait for a nuts-hand. You''ll see, that halve off the table will be limping along, even when you go all inn, there are always some players that can not fold. You don't see that on Pokerstars and FullTilt.

MANSION Poker has the best loyalty scheme and shop especially for higher rakers

#20 20th January 2009, 5:57 PM

You don't need to play on a ton of different sites. You will be fine if you stick to FT and PS, which IMO are the best 2.

#21 20th January 2009, 5:59 PM

If I had my druthers, I'd play at TITAN...I used to love it there, but being from the USA, imma blocked. So i generally play at one of the Cake sites...usually Sportsbook.com

I play at pokerstars and Full tilt, I have played at ultimate bet, but the othe two are better in my opinion

#23 20th January 2009, 7:34 PM

I think full tilt is the best out there that i have played but Ultimate bet is a pretty good site, and if you like black jack they have that too

#24 20th January 2009, 7:40 PM

Yeah, bodogs have a lot of people who just want to play some fast paced cards at this level. patience and you could rack up
