specifically prima, absolute, ultimatebet

if you know of any other sites with lots of low level tables, feel free to list them

i'm not looking for a review of the strength of the games, i'm just looking for a good site to sign up with. i'd dl the clients and check myself, but i want to sign up with rakeback and don't want to waste the time signing up and finding out there's no games

I am in the UK so some games might run when I'm not about but.

Absolute - Don't bother

UB - Usually a 25/50 running. Sometimes a $100 and $200

Prima - Normally some shorthanded games running upto $400

Full Tilt - Normally has a $50 and $100 full game going

Crypto - Normally slightly higher limits running $200 and up.

Ladbrokes has lots of PLO games running if you are not from the States.

How are the mid stakes UB games? I am thinking about going after their bonus but not if the action is much rockier than Party, Stars or PR.

IMHO the games on UB have dried up, havent even played there for a while. I am doing my fishing elsewhere now [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Prima has had a little surge in games recently with a 3/6 usually going around and the 40/80 PL game has been up almost every day this week. Right now even has a 10/20 which isn't usually up.

6 handed are usually around those shorter stakes (2/4-.5/1) consistently. Most tables are 6 handed.

The reason that Ladbrokes doesn't let americans play is that they fear Justice Department action against one of their susidiaries that does business in the US if they were to allow US customers. The also do not allow German customers. They enforce this by IP geo-location software. Even if you were able to get around that, you would still have to have a maildrop like in Canada.

i'd just love to see a site where all the random donks play PLO instead of NLHE. maybe in 10 years the next US poker revival will feature PLO

You can check Paradise.
They usually have many 50games and 400games. Sometimes something in between is going too. (In my Paradise days there raraly was a game at 100 or 200 level but now Paradise have more players and they're trying to attract plo players so I think you can give it a try).
