Default Has choice picked up?

I went to see what the trafiic was at ChoicePoker around 1:00 am est last night. I didn't see any hold'em game going except for one play money table.

Has the traffic improved? Did I just visit at a wrong time (e.g. after server crash?)

I'm an avid bonus chaser, but there is no game, how can I clear the bonus!

It's hit and miss. There's often a reasonably full 1/2 game running, but it usually thins out pretty quick. It's usually 5 or 6 players on a 1/2 and 1 or 2 trying to get a 3/6 table running. There's 3 or 4 sharks that hang out and just pounce on anyone who shows up with $20 looking to check it out.

I have to say I've been really disapointed with the growth. It's hard to justify playing there to make some rake back, when I usually make more $/hr playing my regular games than I make in week of rake rebate. With the table being so short handed most of the time, few hands even get raked (lots of blind stealing) and it's hard to get any pots built.

I thought they were on the right track with their HH bonus (which is paid in bonus dollars and takes about 20 hours of play to clear) and their freeroll.

They've taken away the freeroll and made the HH harder to catch.

I hate to post negative things about a site that I'm propping for (at least I think I'm propping?), but I'm finding it hard to stop by and put any time in.

I hope they figure it out pretty quick.

While on the subject of Choice poker, anyone know what the scoop is? I mean they have no licensing (I know, I know getting licensed by a bunch of Mohawks isn't top notch either, but at least it's something), I haven't seen anything about whether their RNG is certified by anyone etc.

Internet poker being the jungle that it is, I don't really see myself playing there until at least those 2 things are taken care of. Anyone know if this is planned?

Any time that I have stopped by the BEST that I have seen is 1-Full table of $1/$2.

Usually just a few at $1/2 and that is it.

I have played a bit there, mostly 2-4, and once or twice it has been full at that level.
You can make nice BB an hour taking the blinds from the players who fold to often sh.h. But I have stopped playing HU as the rake is to much an hour.
The rake at regular full games is 12% or so lower than Party, and you can also get 30% rakeback on that which is for so called Charter members, you just have to ask them to become one.

I havent seen anything suspicious in the card dealing department.

I have cashed out a couple of times to keep my bankroll at a safe low level, and have gotten the money inside their 96 hour cashout security check.
(They said they had some problems with chipdumpers.)

I'll go there now and play 2-4 for a little bit if any of you want to try to beat a Maniac, go ahead [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I play $1/2 most evenings, and haven't had a problem finding a game that's at least 5 handed. I'm not too comfortable below 4-handed, so my few afternoon sessions haven't lasted very long.

I'm really hoping they pick up, but for now I'm beating the weak-tight regular lineup at the same rate I was beating Party, so I don't see any reason to stop taking advantage of the low rate and 30% kickback.

When I went and started the 2-4 table earlier we were soon 8 players, I had to go, and they must have sensed that their fish left so it broke, but I am BACK! now

I don't even see much tourney action. I always see the "X players seated at X tables" and can never find all the players or the active tables.
