how many poker sites can you join?

This may sound daft but Im still learning! Is it ok to join lots of poker sites that need you to install software? I have ftp but have heard a lot about pokerstars can i install both? :jd44:

Sure. Play as many as you want. Just make sure to stick to reputable sites, and do not have more than one account on each site, and you'll be fine. For the record, poker stars is my favorite site. Very reputable, and great support.

thank you

There is nothing wrong with multiple sites. I have 6 on my computer but play only a couple of them with any regularity.

If you live in the USA you have to be careful to not have any that do not allow players fro the US. Most of the sites tell you if they accept players fro the US.

I mainly play pokerstars, then full tilt, then bodog but I also have ultimate bet, carbon poker and poker world.

Try them all and see which one(s) you like the best and play them.

try pokerstars-FTP-Carbon-Walker-bodog-players only-these are the ones I use and they are all very good.

Many things to think about before depositing (or even signing up) on any site. Rakeback is one. Google if you dont know about this. And bonus promotions. Different sites offer different bonuses. Dont make too many deposits at once, just cause the bonus offer looks attractive, or you will never make your bonuses unless you are playing all day on mass tables. If you are new, you can sign up to 888 through the CC link and get 8$ free - really, I did it too, not a scam - so thats kinda cool free money.

I am on 7 sites, I like 2 for MTT play better, 1 for STT, 2 are stars and FT cause they simply offer games of my choice - STT amd MTT - 24/7, I joine dthe others for CC games.

7 sites is a little intense fletch! christ....u got the same ID on all of them?

7, lol, I just checked my list I keep, Ive got 29 accounts with various sites, but really only active on Fulltilt/Pokerstars/UltimateBet.

OP, as said, get rakeback(Pokerstars doesnt have rakeback) at any site before you join.

LOL as KD said, my sites are puny compared to some ppl here. I signed up at Carbon for the FR at CC, and built a tiny but decent BR up from nothing there. I joined 888 through CC as well, and have used the free 8$ there. FT, bodog PKR and stars I was on before I knew about CC. At stars, FT and PKR I was only playing play money. Bodog was my first deposit site, and I lost it quick. Stars, FT and PKR soon to follow with the same results. Then along came CC and now I have a decent roll at FT and PKR. I had a decent one at stars, but have been on a mega cooler, and am a bit frustrated, my BR is certainly hurting there now. I joined Victory for the bonus and a promotion deal with a 3rd party site and I am doing OK there as well. I find that different sites offer my games at different times, so that is also a big reason why I am so spread out. I actually think less site may be more advantageous, as you can have, say 800$ spread out over many sites, all smaller BR, or the same amount on one or two, much better in terms of games in you BR.

OH yea, I actually have an acct at UB, but got it right around scandal time, and have never played or deposited.

I am a sucker for freebies so am now going to try 888 then bodog....that seems to have very affectionate responses on here!

The only limit to the number of sites you can join is the size of your hard drive.

For your interest you should probably search something about "Poker Skins'. Many sites combine 'membership' and players from diferent login sites will play at the same table. Think Theater in the Round with lots of doors, each being a different site name, but all giving access to the same tables.

got 62 sites on my computer

but mostly play on just 6 of them

in order of time playing its :
william hill (id-skin)
aced (merge skin)
full tilt
pokerstars
cake
32red

got so many sites because of forum games and OFC games from my forums
have 6 merge skins and 5 id-poker skins
got money on most of my non regulais sites but mostly less than $20
got bigger sums on my 6 main sites

62? Wow, I thought I had a lot with 24. I mostly play on only 7 of them.

as many as you want

as far as PokerStars goes.... it depends on what you're playing. If you're playing micro buyin sng's on Fulltilt I doubt you'll like the ones on Stars (but $10 & up they are fairly similiar... although Stars sngs have antes & Fulltilt doesn't). Stars does offer up some decent MTTs for the micro player (large fields with decent final table payouts, also many have 3,000chip starting stacks & 10-15min. blind levels).

As I'm pretty sure it is for many others on the forum here, I like one site for some of it's games & another site for some on there (ie. Fulltilt for SNG & MTT satellites).

I have accounts at 32 sites. Although, I mainly play at Pokerstars, Fulltilt, Bodog, Doyle's room amd Carbon. You can sign up for as many as you wish, however, you will find some sites from the same skin, ie. Merge, will tell you your username is already being used choose another. You will also find you are not able to play at 2 sites of the same skin, at the same time. For example, you can't play at a game from Cakepoker and then open say Doyle's room. Good luck!!!!!

You can have different poker software account such as Poker stars, FT, Carbon, Cake, ****however make sure you dont muli -account and sign up for the same pokersite more than once... Its against the rules and they can freeze up your accout etc. Just a fyi, incase you didn't know.

The thread title is like asking how long is a peice of string
