First day at PokerRoom for the bonus

[mack23]

I love this forum but damn it can get you in trouble sometimes. Is it just me or is PokerRoom the worst online site period? And I thought Paradise was awful. This tops it! The numbers on the screen are microscopic, the strange characters in the chairs look like drug addicts, and the action is slow and brutal. Down 40 BB in my first sitting didn't do much for me either.

I'm looking for your thoughts on this site...

Before cashing out so I could have the cash for the Party reload I was up about 80BB in about 1200 hands. The tables were fairly tight but beatable. I'll be finishing off my sign-up bonus after I clear the Party reload.

I had no problems whatsoever with the software, it ran very smoothly for me.

I hate the fat guy on PR
And I have trouble seeing whos still in the hand at times and its tough to see the bet amount.
It seems relatively quick.

The bonuses r the worst to clear on the web.
It still beats pacific though.

I've been playing for the past few days (my first online poker anywhere) and haven't had problems. I'm not using the download version, though -- I'm on a Mac, so I have to use the browser.

Love that avatar, BTW. I'm a 1996 grad. You?

This site has gone downhill since they got rid of the "BIG PAIR" in seat #3. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I miss playing poker at the casino there. Oh wait. That wasn't in Pullman when I was in school. Lucky bastards.

The server goes down from time to time, but when it is working the games go smoothly. I have found the 2/4 games sto be pretty soft. And you know you can turn off the characters and just have empty chairs, right?

I've had mixed experiences at PR. Have only played 1/2 through 3/6 there. The 2/4 and 3/6 (more so) seem to be hit or miss. Personally, I like the new graphics better than the old purple, but this isn't to say that they're the best on the net. My biggest negative experience there was the last two weeks and all the server/disconnect problems they were having... cost me a decent amount of money. I think it's worth the time and the bonus, at least at the limits I play.

Oh, and turn off the avatars... it helps. It's still difficult to tell where the action is, but it helps.
