PokerRoom 5/10

[oxymoron]

At Poker Room I've played mainly 2/4 but also some 3/6 and 5/10. The $600 bonus equates to around a 10x bonus at 2/4 requiring 6000 hands. At 2/4 this equates to a 1.5BB/100 just from the bonus alone.
A good player can make very good money from the bonus and from the players even if there are a lot of TAG's.

I recently started playing Euro, playing 3/6 (full and 5-max) and 5/10 (full and 5-max). The $600 bonus was basically just too much to pass up. It's something like .6 BB/100 or something and that's damn good.

I think the games are fine. I've been pretty pleased with the late night games. There's a core of tightish regulars, but I've had tables in the 22-26% vpip range fairly often at the 5/10 level.

My suspicion is that the presence of Eurobet and there really aggressive bonus hawking will actually work to improve the quality of the games there.

Also, if you are up for it, consider playing the short-handed games. Those tend to be excellent. Since they're 5max generally instead of 6, I think you may even tend to get a bit more silliness there than on Party.

Yeah, I've been playing the 5-max games and I basically can't sit down at a table without at least one ridiculously loose player. The downside is that there are a lot of LAGs, so it can be tough sometimes, but they're not particularly clever LAGs, and besides, you need to get used to more aggressive play as you move up.

I have been getting my butt kicked with the 5 max. I know it's good when they call down with everything and see too many flops but I couldn't take it anymore. Nor could my bankroll.
