Hi everyone,

Im just wondering where i should go play now. Ive got accounts at:
Party
Poker.com
Paradise poker
Titan poker
Mansion poker
Planetluck
Starluck
Bet365
Pokerroom
Poker770

So, obviously im willing to play in both casinos and pokerrooms. I 4 table 0.1/0.25 and i play for a few hours a day. Im thinking of going to pokerstars and maybe getting rakebake (Is it even worth it? - ill be playing a lot).

Any help would be greatly appreciated

no rakeback exists at pokerstars.

Try ultimatebet, get rakeback, bonus + points for cash promo, works out to ~80-90% rakeback at .1/.25, if you play alot.

Is that better than Absolute + rakeback?

Probably.

Especially at that level, since you don't get much bonus since the pot needs to be raked 0.50, but at UB you get bonus as soon as pot is raked 0.05. Also, there are not many games at ABS for full ring no limit at that level, and also the cards get dealt very slowly there.

If you are non US i would reccomend the crypto sites (Pokerplex, Sun Poker, Littlewoods, William Hill etc). They all offer a monthly bonus at Poker and you can get Rakeback at all of them that isn't deducted from the bonus, for instance the $100 bonus at Sun would give you an extra $35 or so in Rakeback. Will Hill, Littlewoods and Inter do a good monthly casino bonus as well.

At those stakes I definitely agree with the other fellow that UB is your best bet.

I do NOT recommend Absolute or Crypto for .1/.25 since both have minimums (table limit on Crypto, pot size on Absolute) that you would never reach at that level.

BigBiceps knows his stuff. If you want to be playing off a bonus and there are none available on your existing accounts, then get rakeback and head to UB.

I guess I'm off too sun poker first. The bonus sounds nice, as does the rakeback /images/graemlins/smile.gif.
Let's hope the games aren't that hard though.

Be sure to sign up through an affiliate to get rakeback as well as the monthly bonus. Games are about average in my opinion, havent played there for a while due to my time being spent whoring casino's. Good luck

I didn't deposit after all, the lowest games running were 0.15/0.25 games and there were only 2 of them... Guess I'm heading over to ultimate bet then

K just deposited $650 at UB, and so far so good, the games seem good, the software is ok. The bonus is clearing at a rate I was expecting, and I got a rakeback deal.

Only thing that is irritating is that it involves some hassle getting pokertracker to work for UB. I wonder why most players prefer stars over UB though...

i stayed away from stars because at the time i thought UB was looser and the software was/is better...but i agree, this site sux when trying to get it to work with PT...so annoying...

Lol they had a update tonight, that allows you to only import 4 hands. After that you have to restart.
So I'm quite pissed off by this, I was just starting to like ub and then they do something like this...

UB still doesnt count SNG's toward clearing bonus though, right? Would FT be a decent option for clearing a small bonus? OR UB?

Okay, thanks. What is your opinion on which SNG's are better, FT or UB?
