This site has gone downhill since they got rid of the "BIG PAIR" in seat #3. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The server goes down from time to time, but when it is working the games go smoothly. I have found the 2/4 games sto be pretty soft. And you know you can turn off the characters and just have empty chairs, right?

I've had mixed experiences at PR. Have only played 1/2 through 3/6 there. The 2/4 and 3/6 (more so) seem to be hit or miss. Personally, I like the new graphics better than the old purple, but this isn't to say that they're the best on the net. My biggest negative experience there was the last two weeks and all the server/disconnect problems they were having... cost me a decent amount of money. I think it's worth the time and the bonus, at least at the limits I play.

Oh, and turn off the avatars... it helps. It's still difficult to tell where the action is, but it helps.

Can you elaborate on this?

I turned 50 into 550 at pokerroom in about 3 weeks. I have no problem with the software, there are plenty of tables/players/SNGs to pick from, and the customer service is actually reachable on the phone. I'm wondering if my review of FTP which I might start on today will be as good.

I love this forum but damn it can get you in trouble sometimes. Is it just me or is PokerRoom the worst online site period? And I thought Paradise was awful. This tops it! The numbers on the screen are microscopic, the strange characters in the chairs look like drug addicts, and the action is slow and brutal. Down 40 BB in my first sitting didn't do much for me either.

I'm looking for your thoughts on this site...

The screen is the same size as any other site 800x600, so I find it surprising that the numbers are coming up small...... as for slow play, try switching to a table with faster players......give it a few days, I think as your win rate goes up you'll like the site better [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

The main problem for me on that site is the table clutter. Look closely, and you'll find that the chips, the fake gold drink holders, and the button are all about the same size. The effect can be very confusing. If they'd just do away with the "drink holders" (or at least give you the option) the table would be a lot easier on the eyes. I sure hope they're reading this thread since they're costing themselves money by unnecessarily tiring their players.

I've made almost the exact same complaints a few times on this forum and in an email to PR. I signed up for a couple bonuses a few months ago. I cleared one and quit. Graphics problems: everything in similar dark colors--chips and drink holders etc get confused. I overlook players/bets in the hand. action buttons are dark, just outlined, on the same color background--they don't grab your attention when you have cards. from some positions either a bet or the button is so far from the player that you can not tell if it is for, eg, the seven eight or nine seat. one time I bet into two players thinking I was button when I was SB. all this is in the context of multitabling six tables, one various sites at the same time. because of the dark buttons, etc, I've timed out at PR more often than any other site several times over. the games can be good, but it is a small site: after some 3-6 to get my feet wet, I played 5-T and 10-20. usually I'd find 1-3 5-T's and one 10-20. LAGs would show up periodically and a game would get really good. but the core players were terribly weak tight. they could be beaten, but it would be miserable. a table full of regulars could quickly get down to like a 3BB pot average. I've seen higher limit games that looked good, but never ventured.

so, yeah, what you said: I gave up on it pretty quick. except I still want to check out the PLO action.

I only have $700 in my neteller at the moment and other in play at other sites. I have around $100 in pokerroom at the time. If I transfer whatsever left in the pokerroom back to netteller, would i be able to deposit this for the reload? I want to cash out $100 so I can deposit $800 tomorrow for the bonus.
