Hi everyone, Ive been grinding 2NL on ACR for a minute. These cash games are tighter than a virgin. They are beyond nitty and it honestly feels like I am playing with bots 90% of the time which im probably not but it just feels that way. ACR is my first and only real money room I've ever played on, but im lucky as I live in NJ and can play on 888. Is 888 softer than ACR in general? I cant be the only one who feels this way about ACR.

For me 888poker is softer than ACR for sure, specially in micro and low stakes. I think it’s because they offer so many promotions of free money that any player have some money to play in the cash games tables, so, the level of the players is easier.

888 is a great room though i find the rake is a little bit high but the snap games are pretty soft at certain times which makes up for the rake.

Please note that US players are not allowed to play on the international 888 site, so when you ask about 888 Poker, its not the same 888 Poker, which people from for instance Europe is playing on. These government enforced segragated player pools is a pain in the ass, because they dry up liquidity and prevent sites from creating large price pools in tournaments.

However the upside for you is, that since only players from a few US states can play there, then the games are almost certainly a lot softer than on international sites like ACR, where people from Russia, brasil etc. are also allowed to play. Or at least they are softer, until you get into limits, where even americans will be playing (semi) professionally.

how is the traffic on 888 usa? im curious but it won't affect me anyway since im not from the land of the free. i heard there is also a portugal client. not expect too much to be honest, traffic already decreases in the international pool because these guys are not doing the best job in the world.

I started playing at 888 and certainly did not find the cash tables that soft. It seemed to be full of multi tabling Russians.

I moved sites :)
