hi,

i read here that some people play for 3, 4 sites and it made me curious: in how many poker rooms u play actively (no, not freerolls, even if they are everyday..)? for me active means that u deposited money at some point.

point is, do u play in few sites because of freerolls or u r really active?

I have money at poker stars, Full Tilt, bodog and UB.

I opened the Poker Stars account first then opened Full Tilt to get rakeback.

I pulled my money from UB after the Cheating there (I think I still have $0.01 there)

I just recently opened a Bodog account to see how play was over there and for the bonus.

I have money at pokerstars, Absolute Poker, and PokerRoom but rarely play there much anymore. I am actively using my UB account mostly as I like their setup better for some reason. I tried out FullTilt for a while a couple years ago, but didn't like it....maybe sometime soon I will try it out again and see if it got any better.

I just started another bankroll on Carbon. In the past 2 weeks I have heard more about that site than just about anything else....wanted to see what all the fuss was about. So far I have just played one tourney and the program is nice, I like how you can navigate through all of the windows through the main client and such. Got 4th in the 250 person tourney, so maybe I will continue on here for a little while ;)

I had money on Full Tilt Poker/ Pokerstars/ Mansion poker.
For me Mansion poker worked the best out for me.
But I had a bigger bank roll there than on Full Tilt and Poker Stars.

I think the reason why pll have bankrolls on different rooms is because rooms give thinks like a first deposit bonus. So you could try to make some more money by playing on different rooms.
And, if you try more rooms you can see with one work the best for you.

I think some people do it for the bonuses, yes. But I also think that some people do it because in some respects it is like going from one casino to another. Obviously you don't have to even move to "go" from the one to the other. But if you think about it, there are different kinds of players on each site many times, not always too different, but sometimes. The types of tournaments that each site offers can differ drastically(From freerolls, to Aruba Tourneys, to wsop seats)

Then you can even go into the feel of the program. Switching programs from say UltimateBet to Carbon, you will notice quite a change in the look and workings of the program, kind of like moving casinos....lol. I realize that this is a bit corny, but I do think it is true for some people to some respects.

What cheating when on? And how did they do it, was it proved?

Accts'?

I HAD accounts at PokerStars-FT-Ultimatebet---Now just UB and PS as FT starting really messing up---they are disconecting me at least 2-3 times per GAME, so I don't dare deposit there anymore---I'm afraid I'll loose it all on one of their dis-connects! And as far as UB cheating, I believe that has been fully resolved OR I wouldn't have kept my account there as long as I have! And the REASON I have multiple accounts? I just enjoy diversifying--each site is different, and I like different!

I have live accounts at 23 poker rooms, although most of my play is at just 5.

My reason for having so many is that I am an MTT player and, given so much choice, I can find a tournament starting within the next few minutes at a buyin that suits me pretty much any time of the day or night, whenever I feel like playing.

I don`t think much about bonuses. You usually have to play about a trillion hands for the payoff and, by that time, you have won far more than the bonus anyway, if you are a winning player.

Yea, I hear you there. For instance at UltimateBet you get $5 for every 100 UB Points that you get, with in most cases, you should have won way more than $5 if you have played that many hands, unless you just bleed chips out.

I did start out with only one account at bodog, it is playing at "home" when I am there and the only site I deposit on. I have a br on full tilt and ultimate bet built on freerolls from cc. I have an account at all sites cc plays except titan because I live in usa. I think it is awesome to play with this group of ppl in the private games because through the forum and posts you kinda get to know each other.
