Looking for a New Site to Try

BKism · #1 10-23-2005, 12:05 PM

I currently am active on UB, Stars, Poker Room, Party, Empire, Paradise, Absolute, InterPoker, Pacific. I have inactive accounts with Planet, PokerNow, Eurobet, and The Gaming Club. I play holdem 5-10 to 20-40 ring games and Short Handed 3-6 to 15-30. I also play Omaha 8 3-6 to 15-30. I will occasionally play Stud, Stud/8, or Triple Draw.
-Which new sites support the games I play and have an attractive bonus to lore me there?
-Which new sites have an attractive rake structure?
-Does anyone have any advice to where I should open an account next.
I appreciate any help.

Thank you,
BKism

Can you tell us a little more of exactly what it is you're looking for?

You'd think having an account at 13 sites would be enough...

I am looking for a new site that has decent traffic that supports games 5/10 or higher that are not rock gardens.
- A decent sign up bonus and deposit bonuses are a plus.
I know there are other sites out there that I have not tried, so I was hoping to get some feed back on them.
As for 13 accounts being enough, I am always looking for good places to play. I know there others, like me, who have play at many sites and may have found one that I don't play at that they like. Some of my accounts I have stopped playing at because I could not find the type of games I am looking for there or there games have dried out. I am always in the market for softer games.

Bodog.

for hold em, Bodog has some decent mid-limit action during the evenings and weekends. good unlimited bonus too. not much stud or omaha there, however. also a few tables at Golden Palace/Doyle's Room (Tribeca network).

5/10 at party shouldn't be a "rock garden" now that they've split from the other skins. with good table selection you can still find something in the 5-6BB range which should be sufficient to beat. pokerroom flop % looks fine to me as well.

Thank you, playersare, for the information on Bodog and Doyle'sRoom, I am going to give one of those a try. Do you have any info on deals for either of the two?

P.S. I am already playing Party on a daily basis. There is always some good games. Just looking for other places to play as well.

Bodog doesn't have rakeback but there is a 10% unlimited bonus on all deposits. you get the bonus up front to play with and you can withdraw after earning 3x "Poker Points" per bonus dollar (1 point = 1 contributed raked hand, uncalled blinds count). this is probably the softest middle limit site in the industry due to the high percentage of sportsbook players that hang out there. daytime traffic can be a bit sparse, but evenings and weekends should be easy pickings if you can handle the super-LAG swings of your opponents.

Tribeca poker network skins are usually 25% up to $100 bonus, cleared as 80% proportional contributed rakeback (this should be fairly quick at $5/10 and up, especially shorthanded). Golden Palace is popular, though you might find a wider variety of signup offers for Doyle's Room through various affiliates and swag links.

comparing the two, I would opt to try Bodog first. both the games and the bonus structure are more favorable than tribeca.

Since you already play at InterPoker, have you considered adding any of the other Cryptos? You can fly through a number of bonuses each month at the other ones...

Thanks for the suggestion for adding another Crypto, but I rarely find a decent game on Inter, so clearing a bonus at another crypto is not really a good option for me. They rarely have a decent game at 5/10 or higher there. The games that usually go are now of the tighter variety.
