just wondering how many of you are back playing at pokerroom?

I never went back and never will. I recently got some pathetic freeroll and bonus offer from them which was obviously ignored.

Pokerroom used to be my original site, yet I have not been back since I found out about the rake structure (>6 months now). With the bonus and rakeback incentives on Hollywood though, I have considered returning, just haven't gotten around to it yet.

I have very similiar stats at Pokerroom $2/4 limit and Stars.

At pokerroom, I'm paying 2.8 BB/100 in rake.
At stars, I'm paying 1.02 BB/100 in rake.

The sample size is only 5000 at each site, so they may be skewed a bit, but that it pretty crazy.

A 7x ongame bonus is the same as wpex 100% rakeback at full ring. Only difference is they take alot more from you and then give it back. Not a horrible deal, expecially since its noncontributed.

Pokerroom gave me a sweet account specific email bonus of $500 for 5000 player points..so I am back there for a couple of weeks. I had some points in there left over from a while back and I think I am going to order a robe with my points!

I just wanted to drop in and say that I think PR has some of worst software in the industry. I would also like to state that I have heard so many bad things about how bad their rake is, but I was a player there for a good amount of time playing HSNL (5/10NL - 25/50NL), and I can say that the avg. rake in a pot was almost a dollar less than Party Poker's is. I did leave the network though, so I am in part contributing to the boycott.

The rake is lower for HSNL than any other site online.

I also got a great bonus offer from PRoom, but cant play because the software is way too slow since about 2 weeks ago
