Hi Aces - yep! Do you play 6-max or FR? I mainly play 10nl or 20nl FR, but occasionally 6max I drop down to 4nl or 6nl.

What's your experiences with 888 generally? I am about to open a Full Tilt account just so I have exp with more than one online room!

I play 6-Max and atm really 6NL was up 10nl but went on a spew/bad beat fest and quickly had to go back down and thankfully the downward spiral came back.

Well 888 has been alright though the extra benefits when depositing weren't that great but i'm not too worried about that and was more focused on my game and earning the money by playing solid... Hmm every now and again it'll pop up saying the server/table i'm on is about to shut down randomly and leave the table... Though its annoying when i'm winning on that table, perhaps its a Monday night reboot.

I havn't really played 20nl or 30nl ... but I did a $20 dollar challenged and turned it into $300 having a 3 buy-in rule but eventually that heater ran out but it was sure as hell fun to do and gave me priceless experience on higher levels.

The cash tables are good though and I seem to be more successful with 888 than pokerstars although I've managed to learn better bankroll management/discipline with tilt.

I think if I want to get more into tournaments at a later date it will be on another site since not that many get paid on 888

I don't like the tournements at 888 Poker either, but I play there some S & Gs when I have time left, especially the Double or Nothing. I have built up a good bankroll at 888 Poker, but the tournements are really pathetic. This was my first poker site ever.
Now I am playing more likely at full tilt poker where the tournements and satellites are fine, but I can't built up a solid bankroll. I don't play there the S & Gs, because they aren't good at all. Just hope to win there a tournement some day.

You could always win on 888 and transfer the money you win a small fraction to tournaments on full tilt? .. I was thinking of doing that with Cash + Tournaments but go PS but really I think it's a waste since I just want to climb the stakes, All I need is to be patient and if i'm good enough it will happen.

I play 6nl 6max at 888 Poker. The field is pretty weak at the site but the software isn't the best.

Yeah the cash tables are pretty good at 888, at 10NL, 20NL FR, it's a good mix of regs and rec fish, and you get to see who's who after a little while.

Haven't quite got my heard around 6max which is why I drop down to 4NL or 6NL when having a go. I find the 30NL and 50NL FR a lot harder to beat. Took a few shots which went badly, started practicing proper BRM at 20NL and it's been really good since.

Not much into the MTTs either on 888. Played some at first last year, lost most, cashed a couple, won two of them ($330 approx for 1st on something on like a 7 or 11 buy in).

Don't mind the odd 888 SnG for fun - even the superturbo 6max but they're a bit nuts.

When you guys say the tourneys are better (or better paid) on Stars or FullTilt - do you mean MTTs or those 180-man SnGs?

Aces2w1n - were you saying more people get paid on the bigger sites? Yeah i haven't been too worried about the 888 bonuses (or lack thereof) either, just concentrating on improving my game too and trying to play solid :)

I really like the tournament schedule over there, especially on sundays. However, i have read some threads on 2+2 that t alk about conversion raping so i have to do some more HW before playing more there.

Unfortunately busto!!! I started with the 8 free bucks, then deposited another tenner and broken too- played lots of tourney but never really cashes a reasonable prize.
tha level is pretty good (for playing I mean) but, to me, rivers were pretty bad.
Obv we talking about the nothing. I just have few games.
Hope to be capable to come back on it asap

Yes small % win on the tourneys



Its weird atm im a shark at 6nl but reg fish on 10nl ppl exploit a bit more at this level I have found but tbh i'm just image building atm before I go on an onslaught atm it seems to be break even :) hopefully it was a downswing.

I would have made a few deposits in the past, if it had been legal the last 7 years, here in US.

They have the new fast game style on 888 which is same as Zoom :) Unfortunately I like the traditional 6 style so it'll take fishies off the main tables and put them there so probably be forced to play that soon if I want to follow the money.

You reckon? I would rather play normal tables but if all the fish are going to be on the fast tables then I might have to move. I guess the main difference would be that I would have to nit it up.
