Are the Cryptos for Me?

[mattw]

i recently cashed out at 4 crypto's at the same time and wm hill was the quickest, under 24hr.

Just for balance realize that at other times Hill can be the slowest. Just do a search with keyword Hill for last month and you'll see what I mean.

While you had favorable responses, there are some negatives especially since you are used to Party software.

Crypto software has problems. Sometimes will freeze up and you have to exit out mid-hand and restart computer. At other times software runs extremely slow (about 25% the speed of Party). At other time you get on a table with one or two idiots working off hour bonus and they take forever to act, particularly on posting blinds or on the flop. Also (generally) the more tables you have open the slower they run because the software is a resource hog.

Have an issue? Customer service is horrible. Often you get no response at all to multiple emails.

You may find the bonuses worthwhile, just realize there is some downside.

agree with what stir said. with rakeback up to 30% and not deducting from bonus, its well worth it IMHO.

also, i have seen multiple tables at limit $1/2 very tight; average pot sizes less than $5. that is too funny.

Depends on the site.

The hourlies you need to play 1/2 or above.
The others count pots raked .25 or more.

Caribbean Sun also requires 1/2 I believe.
