BRM - BankRollManagment

[RamdeeBen]

Ahh I'm being ignorant and under the assumption when I see a post about people depositing wanting to play for real money games they must be outside of the U.S.

I'm not 100% sure of which sites are good for U.S players these days so can't really help you there

Good luck either way!

Lol it's okay. Im sure someone from the US can put their 2 cents in, I know theres tons of posts and threads about it but I figured since this convo isn't directly about it I can get a more clear cut answer. The 65 post requirement thing for being able to post more than 7 times in a day is REALLY annoying -_- so if i don't answer back right away you guys know why

Minted Poker has been solid for me so far, low traffic unfortunantly unless you play in Euros;s ( the convert it automatically and auto convert back to USD) Those tables always have players. The MTTS have some nice Gurantes and usually never get over 50 even 100 is rare besides the weekend games with the best guarantee.

 

[CoolMike90]

Minter huh? I think I May have checked them out. I like Doyales room and Cakes UI and table layouts but i'll try minted. I need somewhere to play lol

 

[darkassassin89]

Dude I would recomend checking out this thread I did https://www.cardschat.com/forum/poker-deposits-withdrawals-54/minted-withdraw-method-201635/

check it out and see if waiting a little so you can actually deposit more and get a easy and fast way to withdraw.

 

[CoolMike90]

Ahh yeah that'sa good thread I may have to try that, just wish there was more peopleon there

 

[darkassassin89]

Well its worth it for those gurantee tourneys. They have some great ones on the weekend. highest BI is i think 25$ and usually 1-200 players. Not too shabby if you ask me. But thats somethingi will do when i build my roll

 

[CoolMike90]

I think i'm gonna start my BR on bodog, they have some pretty good tournies also, and a decent amount of traffic AND their layout isnt bad either and their tables dont look cheap and crap.

Id rather shoot for money added if available so that you don't have to guesstimate how many players will actually register late.

 

[darkassassin89]

well be warned, Bodog might leave US at the end of the year. Rumors? I dono. Fact? Still dono, but I have heard this from somewere, I 4 got

It seems Chris Ferguson turned out to be a crook

And, do you believe and convict based on what the government tells you?
Good Luck!

 

[darkassassin89]

[darkassassin89]

Oh nice, name change i may even check Bodog out now !

 

[CoolMike90]

There not leaving from what ive read, they are changing names. I think theyll be ok.

 

[darkassassin89]

Yea I may shoo over to Bodog, we have any free rolls their? And maybe ill look for a free bankroll online somewere

 

[CoolMike90]

Yeah there's FR's. Good ones from what I can see, pokerstrategy.com I think offers 50$ twards them also.

 

[pobe27mo]

Unfortunately, I don't think you can get the pokerstrategy $50 if you're in the US.

 

[CoolMike90]

+1 Too Pobe, Cant do it. Im getting sick of the US so quickly now. I live 6hrs from canada. IM MOVING! haha

 

[seachicken]

One downside to bodog is no rakeback. If you find an affiliate you can get 40% rakeback for minted but there is talk about money not being held separate on minted.

Good luck

 

[CoolMike90]

Yeah, i'm not sure if I like the layout of Minted. I like clean, modern looking sites and software like Doyle's room, hence why I chose Bodog. If anyone has any other suggestions i'm open too them but for right now were pretty limited.

 

[seachicken]

Minted has said they are releasing a new version of their software. I don't know what the changes are but it might be something to consider.

If you plan to play a lot rakeback can make a big difference.

 

[CoolMike90]

Actually, looking at it now, their software isnt terrible, def could use the update but other wise I think it's fine. The big problem was their traffic. it's a lot lower than most of the other US norm sites. Right now they only have 800 people on. compared too the 4k on bodog. Idk may not make that big of a difference,.

 

[darkassassin89]

It does, it gts as low as 250 online such horrid traffic, GREAT for MTT games tho! But cash is usually bad

Good Luck!

Somebody high up criminally miss-managed the funds.
