Hi all,
As some of you know I am looking for a poker room to play at for 2009. I wanted a fresh poker room, one that I never played on before.
I have accounts at the following:
poker stars
full tilt poker
Poker Heaven
PKR
Ladbrokes Poker
Doyles Room
Bet365 Poker
Stan James Poker
There arn't that many known poker rooms left after all that lot, however, after looking around my mind was split in four between the following rooms:
Aced Poker
Carbon Poker
UltimateBet
bodog Poker
After trying all of these, I found that both Carbon and Aced do not offer much in tournaments and the traffic is very low, so there would be a lot of waiting around for a tournament player, I feel this room is more for cash game players imo, also there guarantee's are still quite small.
Then it comes to UltimateBet and Bodog, and I dont know which is better I have been trying to weigh up the pros and cons of each and found this:
Bodog Pro's
Nice and unique poker table layout
Good slection of games/stakes
Easy to follow action
Weak sportsbook players willing to take gambles
Bodog Con's
Not much on offer in tournaments (esp. low stakes tournaments)
Hard to navigate lobby
Average Traffic
Bad reports of cash outs (sometimes taking months)
Unusual deposit bonus (wagering requirements)
Attached casio, easy to get carried away
UltimateBet Pro's
Easy to navigate lobby
Decent deposit/reload up bonuses with no expiry
Excellent Selection of games/stakes
Very large traffic (even bigger with cereus network)
Great selection of tournaments/guarantee's for all stakes
UltimateBet Con's
Outdated table layout and function
Tainted due to the Super User scandals
Which of these two rooms would you recommend and why, also if you like please recommed a room which is not mentioned in this post for me to try.
I want a poker room with decent tournament selection, good player traffic, good software that is easy on the eye and ears, good bonuses/reload bonuses, preferably no casino attached.
Thanks
