What time was this? I'm doing this bonus now and at 9pm eastern time I find that there are few tables and they're filled with short stacked nut peddlers.

I've found a few juicy 6max limit tables but its few and far between.

the NL there is tight - I don't get how people think they're good games

Its a UK betting site so the games are good at UK evening times, especially in the week or on Friday. On Saturday UK evenings all the US bonus whores join the tables so the games are less good!

Over 2100 bonus hands I'm up $600 at NL100 so I think the games are pretty good.

Does it have actual players at Omaha Hi or is it a ghosttown?

I deposited for this bonus. I think the game selection is bad, the number of games is poor, the interface is awful, and the software is slow. I really wish I had never deposited on this site. Shrug. I guess this is cause I just deposited at VC for the 1k bonus and have been so impressed by their site.

Just finished up the bonus last night after 3 days and here are my thoughts (for what they are worth).

1) Multitabling sucks. As others have mentioned, the software is a resouorce hog and I couldn't get more than 3-4 tables open at any one time without timing out every 3rd hand.

2) As far as game selection, I was playing NL w/ .25-.50 blinds and in the afternoon (East Coast) the games were great. VPIP in the high 30's, players willing to push in with third pair on coordinated boards, etc. However, by the time the evening rolled around (about 7PM EST), the games tightened up considerably. Two/three players to a flop, with lots of players looking to solely set farm.

3) With that said, it was a relatively easy bonus to burn through (other than having to chat with tech support to check on your raked hands), and I ended up $450 (inc. bonus).

Overall, not a bad way to spend a few days although I don't think I would play there as my normal site of choice.

I still have like 500 hands to go from my deposit 8 weeks ago. Games at 1/2 have been good. Still, so far I was owned to -$200. The regular tables are slow and the turbo tables fold your hand way too quickly. I'll have to clear this sucker eventually but I started to hate the site. (OK, I also tilted away a good chunk of money at the casino.)

Support is great though.

Tourneys are great there but they take a long time to fill up and do not count towards the bonus.

Having BetFred himself staring at me from the lobby also caused a couple of nightmares. That guy really seems to enjoy taking my money. I prefer a volupteous Blonde to take money from me.

Is this an estimate, or does PT work on this site? I confess that I prefer to play w/ PT, though it has more to do with my need for statistics to track my performance than reads, though I like the reads too.

When I did this bonus, I 6-tabled between 2/4 and 1/2 6-max and had no issues...There was the occasional slowdown but nothing horrible. I play on a P4 2.8ghz w/ 512 RAM.
