Where should I play?

#1 30th March 2018, 7:45 PM

Hi, I mostly play $0.02/$0.05 NLH on pokerstars as well as some $1-$5 MTTs.

However recently I've felt like pokerstars isnt the best place to play, with recent rake and rakeback changes.

Where would people recommend I play and why?

actually is hard to find sites that gives a good rakeback. hmm, maybe you can try to play cash at Party Poker, but you need to reach at least 25 points for $5 rakeback.

Im not the best to advise on cash games as I'm mainly an mtt player but have a look at the ipoker network.

I play PokerStars and I like this site for the game, but I advise you to try to play in 888 poker, I also play there
there are also a lot of tournaments and a lot of tables for cash games, or choose a site that suits you!

I would suggest America's Card Room, but again, nothing beats PokerStars

I've heard they're having issues with bots making games unwinnable, is this true?

The main reason i play pokerstars is because it has the best layout but I know it does like to shaft the micro stakes players.

There are many poker rooms with different levels of players. I think 888 will suit you.

For the beggining with MTT , I think its good idea to play in some room from MPN network. MTT (with 1-5 Eur buyin) play 100-300 players.
They have perfect freerolls for new players.
But for first deposit bonus and rakeback.. nothing special :/

Continue playing on pokerstars.Play tournaments as well as sit & go to qualify for bigger tournaments for smaller bets.

I have played on iPoker network for 10years and personally I would NEVER recommend it to anyone, especially not a micro cash game player (rake is higher than most of the sites & there's next to NO traffic on the network these days & it keeps on getting worse).

As far as the other answers go in this thread, I'd have to ask each & everyone of them, What sites do you actually have experience on? And what exactly is THAT exeperience?
ie. a guy from Slovenia who figures a site is good if "they have lots freerolls!"
ie. a guy who suggests to play on MPN... has he even played anywhere else?

Without a doubt I believe your next choice for R.O.W. players (after Stars) these days would be Partypoker ainec. Partypoker has recently increased their micro buyin (& low, mid & especially High) tournament schedule. They also have much greater volume of players playing on their cash tables vs. the other sites. (888poker might be softer, idk, I haven't play on there in years as the traffic seems to have decreased significantly on there).

888 and Party will have the 2nd most traffic outside of Pokerstars. If you want to play with Americans you can try Ignition / Bovada or WPN (ACR/BCP). If I live outside the US I would probably play cash on Party/888 and mtts on Stars.
