I was looking for a new site to play on. I have accounts on party, ultimate, Absolute, Poker Stars and paradise. I was looking at poker room.com. I play 1-2 full ring. I like to play ealry morning say 4 or 5 am. How is this site?

Thanks

Pokernow is a Party skin, so, it is the same as Party for game selection. (minus the jackpot tables)

Because it is a party skin do I run into the issue of already having a party account and not being able to sign up for poker now?

My error meant Poker Room.com now poker now.com

bonus is tough to clear at that level.
i like the site, good traffic etc,

I think you'll be happy there. I used to play around that time a lot and I found the games pretty good. There are lots of Europeans on around that time. Pokerroom is a fairly small site; I'd guess there will be 3-4 full tables going at that time of day, but they are all usually pretty soft.

I have heard their bonus is difficult to clear at 1/2 limits. It ends up being about 15-20x raked hands, I think, as you only get partial points from hands not raked over $1 from what I understand.

What caught my attention was that they were offering a number of sign up bonus ranging from 7x to 15x to clear. The stats say you can clear at the rate of $6.xx per hour which is higher then Ulimatye and a few others. The info was on Bonuswhores.com

There are some threads about the Pokerroom game on the bonuswhores forums. You might want to check those out.

are you playing $1/2 LHE or NL? you will NOT clear the pokerroom bonus at $6/hr*table playing fixed limit, the rate would be closer to $3-4/hr (make sure you're reading the BW chart correctly for the exact game you play).

if you do decide to sign up for pokerroom, get the bonus with the LOWEST points clearing requirement, which is 7x. do not request a higher bonus amount at the expense of having to play a lot more hands to clear it. they have reloads often enough for you to mix and match your play with all the other sites you already signed up for.

as for the site itself, it's good for playing during off-peak hours since there are a lot of european skins which share the same network. pokerroom players are about as soft as party is at the same limits, perhaps slightly more loose-aggressive but not significantly so (we're not talking bodog here or anything).

in terms of sites you haven't signed up for yet, you can also get some pretty good $1/2 bonus action at the Cryptologic skins, as well as some of the Prima network sites. I might take these into consideration before pokerroom, at the levels you play.
