In my opinion GG have to much animations and advertisements. Pokerstars is optimal for me in every way

Yes ggpoker and pokerstars are the best sites that help you understand what a level of poker and beauty is very pleasant to play and everything is convenient. I think these sites are far ahead of others, it's not for nothing that they stand out from the crowd

For me it is still PokerStars, but the 888Poker is very good too, I have played on others too, but I prefer the first two I said, besides gaming options, has a easily navigated layout and accessible games for all levels

I play on both GG and Pokerstars. I only play freerolls or bet money that I win through freerolls. I think this is the best way to get to know the game better and also to train your emotions or set your limits.

I enjoy PokerStars because we can trust it, it is very easy to withdraw our cash from there, their rakeback structure is not so bad, and spite of many people overrate it, there are plenty of fishes in any stake, including myself in that list! :LOL:

I personally like GGPoker, if it weren't for the fact that withdrawals take 48 hours, it would be my favorite room.

Tournaments - GG is softer than some of the others. LOTS of regs. on there but they're there because there are also LOTS of crazy gambling fish! Some of the calls on there today were shocking! You've got to love it... even when your hands don't hold, lol.
More crazies, more big losers on there in Low limits than I've seen anywhere in quite some time. I had a guy on one of my tables today, a $10 avg buyin player and he was -$37,000 ... WOW! That's the sort of thing I see on GG which makes it a great site imo.

Have not played GG poker yet, but if you want a lot of BAD beats play jokerstars.

I play the most at 888poker, but I'm very upset about the huge number of players who like to go all-in every hand,

I also like this network-excessive software and a lot of game.

I also have an account on this site, but I only play our freerolls there. At first glance, the site is good, but time will tell if it is reliable and secure enough.

No its not good. It's terrible I'm ym opinion. They App it's way too overloaded with stuff. It's like pokerstars, partypoker and 888poker and crammed together onto one app. It's enough to make your head spin. I deleted it after about 3 minutes of making sense of the insane mosaic of everything everywhere I couldn't do it

I just signed up at GG a couple of weeks ago. I find it pleasant when you are at the table, nice interface. But the lobby is kind of too cluttered and the many promotions are a little confusing, there's also no regular SIT & GOs. Plenty of tournaments to chose from though. I'll keep playing on it of course, but Pokerstars has me hooked for a long time now. Most of the time, the best things are the simplest. Speaking of which, I also love 888, precisely because of its simple interface.

Good morning everyone, GGpoker is in some respects the best poker site, in terms of rakeback, graphic quality of the software, it has Mtts with good guarantees. Where in my opinion the site makes a mistake and does not offer Mtts with better structures on the micros, in the high limits the Mtts have a blind increase of 15min, 20min or more, in the micros it is 7min, 8 min, and the maximum I played was 10min, and since the Mtts' filds are huge in micros, their variance increases a lot. GGpoker is a good site, I recommend it, but the 2 sites that, in my opinion, are the easiest to profit from are:
pokerstars and 888poker.

Is GG any good for cash games? Does it have 9handed or just 6max? I know the rake is higher than PS but not sure if after rake it is better? Or if player pool weaker?

I want to try it but I'm really short of money, they say it's one of the best poker rooms, I hope to be a winner soon to sign up

I started at GG 3 weeks ago and there are some nice things like the honeymoon or the present of the day. But before I only play at pokerstars and I like it a lot more. It is like coming from a good, nice casino and know going in a ugly game room

I have accounts on PS and GG... I like them both and the interface is equal to me... Once you figure out what's what, both are OK. I prefer GG atm because they offer a free daily gift which you can turn into real money in spin and go and battle Royale poker games.

I'm still trying to get familiar with the site.
I typically play fast-fold tables but just tried some micro reg. tables a moment ago. (the plan is to actually play MTT's on the site but I've played a handful so far). Player pool is definitely a lot WILDER than on any of the other sites. Depending upon the time of day, there are lots of regs. in micros, LOTS of players from Russia. There are loads of players who REALLY want to gamble it up and the site has options where you can straddle, double straddle, etc. and you can even go allin in the dark 100bb's (lol).
Took me a bit to get used to the graphics and awhile to get my 'settings' set in a way that suits me. (I'm still struggling a bit). I keep going back to Stars, Partypoker & ACR but mostly out of being accustomed to them.

I personally like playing on many sites. For some it's the time of day. And for playing tournaments I prefer many sites because then I can load up my screens with similiar buyin mtt's.
I would definitely give GG a shot!

As far as Rake goes, on their FastFold tables (ie. Rush & Cash/ Z00M), they have a 3BB Cap... BUT pots are raked even with no flop if there's been a 3-Bet pre). 25nl Zoom 4.5% rake, $2 CAP. 25nl 'Rush & Cash' 5% rake, $0.75 CAP (the rake works out to be lower overall on GG & better rakeback unless you're getting the 40% promo thing on Stars).

I know that the tournament players are definitely gravitating to GGPoker for sure!

The 4 rooms you mentioned for me are the best poker rooms available. I like GGpoker, but as a micro/small stakes player I usually play more on 888poker. But I play in all the 4 rooms and never had problems with them.
