Recommend my next poker site please
 
Someone tell me where i should go for my next poker site. I've been playing pacific poker .05/.1 and have built my roll almost to ready for .25/.50 but I hate the pacific software. It always loses connection and I cant use poker tracker. Who has good bonuses right now for the level I want to go to, poker tracker, etc

I suggest pokerroom.com THe software is nice and the players suck at 0.25-0.50. Probably because that's their lowest limit. I started playing nanolimits too (glad to hear someone else made it out [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] ) and have since moved. My next move will be to party poker since their lowest is 0.50-1.00. GOod luck!

yeah im hoping to be at party poker soon as...relatively anyway...as i like the look of their software the best

i took someones advice to take pacific pokers free 10 bucks and am glad i did as even at this level i feel like im learning at ton building up the roll to something respectable

even though im constantly fighting with a friend of mine who calls me a coward for staying at this level for the last 2 weeks. Siting his examples of how he took his 10 worked it to 19 moved to .25/50 then 1/2 then 2/4 in about a day got up to 100 (on a spike of luck) and claims he only lost because of bad beats. I highly regard him as a regular fish because he will not listen to what I try to explain to him telling me im an "ignorant bastard" for thinking math can explain poker etc...At which point i ask him where the 100 he put into party and free money from pacific went :-D

pokerroom has a soft .25/.5 that I was winning well at. Their .5/1 is really soft too. Their 1/2 is bizarre though. As for their software, it's so slow that it's virtually impossible to 4-table, and 3-tabling is tedious and you'll occasionally time out waiting for windows to pop up. 2-tabling it's fine.

well I don't know anything about how well you play so softness of game may be relative. I just started playing at UB a couple of weeks ago (to build a br for 2-7 td), and the .25/.50 & .50/1 hold-em games there are cake. Especially the SH tables. The nano-NL tables are also incredibly easy. There bonuses suck though and take forever to clear if your playing anything less than 1/2. So it's probably not the best place for whoring, but the games are good for the limit your playing.

Somewhere in the zoo Homer has a good post (might be a bit outdated now) on building a BR bonus whoring. It details the bonuses and sites with a recommended order. If I recall the crypto sites were up near the top for their monthly bonuses they offer.

Why not play at Party with a free $100 roll? Check it out:

I've always found Paradise Poker's nanolimit games very soft and passive. From the screen names I get the impression it's a lot of 'soccer moms' killing time, especially during the day.

I have also found that as a 'community' goes the people that play at Paradise are more chatty and generally more friendly then some of the bigger sites. Soft games, friendly people.

On the downside since Paradise got sold to a sportsbooking company their server connections seem to go down a lot more frequently, I don't play there that much any more but some friends still complain about it. Plus on the laptop I played on I would get a lot of stuttering in the animations multi-tabling.

All in all, Paradise is a decent site, and you'll find good nano limit games as long as you can put up with the occasional disconnection. The support there is top notch, I've contacted them a couple times when players were deliberately playing slowly and they appeared at the table to issue a warning immediately both times. They also sent me a bunch of free junk when I mailed their marketing people [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I still occasionally go play the .10/.20 games when I've had a bad run on the other sites and need some soft play to wind down.

Quick thoughts:

Paradise is good and has many limits under the .5/$1 that is the smallest at Party.

You can clear the Granny bonus (see classified ads or PM GrannyMae) playing .25/.5 It takes time, but since the bonus doesn't expire, there is only upside for you.

Software good. Support good. Works with PT.
