Hi all, I,am looking to put 200 pound in a poker site to play tournaments only and just wondered what is the best and softest site I should play at and would 5 pound tournaments be ok to play with that roll or maybe should I just play 5 pound sit and goes to start off with? Thanks all. Peace.

I would recommend pokerstars using the BOLT deposit code. It has a large selection of tournaments with different buy-in ranges in many different formats

5 pound buy-in with 200 pount bankroll looks good to me

Pokerstars' traffic is out of the question the best out there for now. At $5 the field will be mixed up , many fish and many good regulars who knows how to play.

888 is a good alternative and for me Americas Cardroom is also a decent poker site with softer fields compared to Pokerstars. I would also suggest party poker but I can't tell you for sure if I fond it because the site is blocked in my country[Greece].

Whichever you choose enjoy the game!! :)

5 in the table I think little high, in this buy in, the level of the players are high, I think it would be nice to start in smaller buy in first! Question to sites say that at partypoker is better than the others!

I would recommend Party because

1. their tournaments have a nice structure and are deepstacks. But there goes a disadvantage - they are long I guess, with a long late reg (comparing to some tournaments at 888 for example).

2. The are a lot of tournaments (which honestly depends on the time you play, but still) with overlay and have a small field which is great, I don't want to hear about several Ks tournaments at Pokerstars, why would you even recommend them? Unless you're experienced player in all the stages of the tournament play, have a lot of time and patience and a deep bankroll as well as the larger field implies the larger variance.

3. I think all of the 5$ tourneys on PartyPoker are PKO, so you can still win something even if you get unlucky in the later stages.

888 is alright as well, there are some nice 3$, 5$ tourneys but personally I dislike the structure.


Whatever you chose, good luck :)

PokerStars has a zero, yes zero customer complaint rate when it comes to withdrawal of cash and dealing with fraud BRUTALLY oh trust me if anyone hacks you PS will help you with the IP evidence and everything for the court case their customer support is god tier.

If you look at any complaint about PS it's about regs crying that the rakeback of the lowest rake site isn't the most. LOL their math makes me laugh so hard.

have to take Terry's side on this one posting stuff like that on the public forum might mislead people less informed people who can think that your opinion is actually a fact that has proves. In future when you plan on stating that stars have 0 complainings about deposits/wd and have best customer support please point us to some research that can back that up. If you can't back up something you're writing, please point out that this is just your opinion and your impression, that way you will probably be called out less, just saying...

But you are talking to the greatest poker player out there guys. He knows everything, just ask him.

I know for a fact that PS is the only site with a truly infinitely random RNG whereas all other sites have billions of outcomes but not trillion level like PS.

This is because PS uses things like a glass that has 50% chance of a light going through or bouncing off as well as user mouse-movements to help it shuffle. It is the only current poker room to not only be completely open about every step of its RNG but to use physical things to originate its randomness rather than software calculated numbers meaning it's relying on the randomness of physical reality which is as pure RNG as you can ever hope for even philosophically.

You can say what you want about it but you are talking such lies and it will only hurt you deep inside when you know you are tarnishing the reputation of such a purist RNG.

Lack of evidence is evidence when I say there is zero. Their customer support replies in three hours in extremely friendly tone to any issue of withdrawal or deposit.

What's your location? Are you trying to play tournaments, ring games, or both? If you're not in the United States, you need to play on PokerStars.

Pokerstars don't have great freerolls, but the have great pay tournaments, and plenty of ring games that have more fish than other sites.

Now as for freerolls, I think that BetOnline has the best ones. I haven't played ring games on this site yet. 888poker might have some good ones, but I can't play there so I can't confirm that.

I play ring games and tournaments on ACR, but the ring games are full of regs so you have to be on your square to win.

intertops I'm still getting used to. Haven't played ring games on this site yet, and the freerolls are cool, but they don't run until the evening. (east coast U.S. time)

ignition, I wouldn't sweat them too much. I haven't see anything appealing yet.

I like PokerStars, but even the best website in the world will have complaints. It's inevitable.
