Does it make sense to play in a lot of poker rooms?

Yes, more rooms i have more choices for selection to play freerolls to practice.

I play freerolls on two sites and for longer time no. More than two tables I can not play at the same time.:hmmmm:

I can't handle more than 3. - even then its crowded and I have to quickly decide and that leads to - bad play.

So, I only play 1-2 at most.

But, hey, i am a fish.

If you are satisfied with the number and quality of tournaments and game cache, you can play on two sites, and if you want more variety, you can try forces in some other rooms.

Playing on different rooms is not a problem however playing several games and tables at the same time is not recommanded for begginers and for bankroll management if I should suggest an other room I will advise you partypoker but the best 2 rooms are pokerstars and 888 Poker.

Let's see. Right now I have a BR on 7 sites, and I play on all of them everyday. Most of the time I have 3 sites going at once. It makes sense to me to do whatever makes me a small income. It's kind of like having the odds in my favor. One week I might do better on one or two sites than all the others and those are the ones I withdrawal from. I like all the sites I play on, but the ones I can cashout to my pay pal have 75% of my focus.

More poker rooms more free rolls. But sometimes it is hard to decide witch free roll to play and witch not to play. Last night i played 2 free rolls from 2 different poker rooms and then, i am up to my limit.

Reinstall again and IT Will work. You will have fun.

888 and stars maybe one more but theat 2 is for now ok ☺

I think in each different poker room you can find something for yourself such as good sheduled tourneys for you, weak fields of players, different bonuses. It is a great opportunity to increase your poker level.

Hi there,

If you have a descent amount to invest in poker, I would indeed suggest you to play in some other poker sites.


1- You would be eligible for the the first deposit bonus if you never made a deposit in one of these
2- You will have fun discovering all the features of a new poker client
3- Most importantly, the field is guaranteed to be easier than Pokerstars and 888


Hope you found what you are looking for in everyone's post

Do you have any links to those videos please?

Can't help but notice that many here are choosing just two sites - - Pokerstars & 888Poker. Why not add in Partypoker? Partypoker has improved immensely over the past couple years and is promising to continue doing so. Tournament lobby just keeps getting better & better and there's typically some ongoing promos that are pretty decent. (ie. picking up a $22 ticket just by making a deposit; 20% rakeback paid out weekly!!!). Numbers (& tournament guarantees) just keep going up!

also - I totally agree with 100#####'s post above, regarding playing on many sites. I mean why not take advantage of every promo &/or deposit bonus (etc.) that you can? Years ago I played on over 20 sites (when online poker was booming & it was much easier to move money around via Moneybookers/ skrill, etc.)

I think in every room there are some differences and players could find in which room and in what games they have an edge ,so playing in many rooms is not sth odd . The morerooms the more choices for the players , no matter the stakes they are playing for

I play another Ultima poker good poker room .I suggest you try it to play

You can play where you want to play. Some people think, that in smaller rooms people don,t understand how to play poker good and they play bad and it will be easy to take their money, but for me this is just not the truth. People play the same game in all rooms, so for me, as it seems, you can play where you want.

if you play tournaments, then except for pokerstars it is desirable to play also 888 because at low and medium limits MTT is difficult to find tournaments with less than 500 participants playing pokerstars! 888 allows you to play tournaments with a small number of players, well, besides, at 888 the average level of players is lower

I think nothing wrong with that, if time allows why not diversify the game different rooms

I suppose for some, one room is enough. And, for others, maybe more than one. I guess for each individual there are a lot of reasons for either choice. They're all valid reasons.

I play poker stars and 888. I would probably play at others if I knew of any with similar quality. My first choice is always Poker Stars for too many reasons to go into. My second is 888. I really don't know any other rooms that offer what I am looking for. (I am open to suggestions.)


Why I like to play at more than one room goes simply to my schedule. Often, there are no free rolls available when I have the time to play. So, being able to go to more than one room, or to more than two for that matter, is really a matter of convenience.


I can only play when I have the time to play. So, when one room has no free rolls, I travel to the next. It would be nice if I knew a few more rooms in which to play Holdem, but I don't, so there it is.

So, for myself anyways, it just makes sense to play in a lot of poker rooms. (Not that two is really a lot.) It just gives me the ability to play free rolls according to my personal schedule.

Thanks to all, for useful advice.

Why wouldnt you play in every site you can-
1. more promos
2. different withdrawal options
3. different games
4. diversify your bankroll risk
5. easier to fill your monitors

I play multiple sites. I have an account at Carbon that I rarely use. They gave me $5 comp slot play on my last birthday. I used the comp money to play nickle slots. I ran that up to $1.25 of real money winnings. I cashed that out and used the winnings to enter a $1 SnG. I have ran that $1.25 up to $12 and some change as of today. I rarely ever play on that site because there is never any games going. I have an account at Americas Card Room because they had a promotion awhile back were they gave me a $5 no deposit bonus. I have ran that up to $10.61 grinding out .02c ring games. I have an account at Black Chip Poker. They had the same promotion as ACR. I had $5 on that account through the no deposit bonus, but I have since lost that money. I still use the BCP account to play the Cards Chat freerolls. Hopefully sooner than latter I will cash in one of those giving me a small bankroll to splash around at the .02c ring game tables. I have an account at intertops and juicy stakes. Both these sites ran sent me an invitation in the mail to sign up for their sites with a $5 or $10 comp or something like that. I have my Juicy Stakes balance at something like $19 right now, and my Intertops is just over $50. I have a Betonline account, but I have no money on this site yet. I am still waiting to cash a Cars Chat freeroll on this site. I have a Sportsbetting account. I have cashed one Cards Chat freeroll on Sportsbetting for $16 and some change. my balance on that site is somewhere around $10 right now. I do not play on that site so much. I find it hard to find any games except the Cards Chat freeroll. I do not get to play in the Cards Chat freeroll too often due to my schedule. I also have an account on ignition poker. Ignition is the only site I have ever deposited on. Oh ya and I have a Global account, but I NEVER play at that site.

So ya I play many sites

I have an account on ACR, Ignition, and Carbon. That's only because I want to have more game options as I'm an MTT grinder.

i think it helps get a real one to play, and the others to practice...
