Easiest games

[flexus]

I am an enthusiastic beginner looking for soft games to give me a good start to build a bankroll.

I have played some at ladbrokes but i found these games pretty hard to beat, so I am wondering if there is any easier place to start off at.

the limits I am ready to play is up to 0,5/1.
any suggestions?

Hi Flexus.

PartyPoker is the place you want be if you want easy, loose games. 0.5-1 is their lowest limit I think. I dont like their software so I dont play there. But it aint bad.

And Pacific Poker says have the loosest games on net, but I haven´t played there so I dont know. But their software says to be crappy.

I play at paradise right now and the 0.5-1 is often loose, so if you know your startinghands and a little about odds you should do good there to. But higher up it´s a bit tighter.

Hope this will guide you in the right direction.

The easiest games are at Party Poker, Empire Poker, Multipoker, Intertops Poker, or Coral/Eurobet Poker. These are all "skins" of the same poker server-the same games are found on each of them.
A good way to find the best games is to look for posts complaining about bad beats and fish calling down with 92o only to get lucky on the river, find out what site the poster plays on, and go there.

Pacific Poker are the easiest/loosest games that I've played by far. I've heard that Intercasino poker is also massively loose. There was actually a poll about this on the Internet Forum yesterday, you might want to check that out. Party Poker won, but it isn't the loosest site.

Yeah, I forgot about Pacific poker. It has the worst players, and the easiest games to beat-however I don't think it has the easiest games, because you play so few hands an hour that the advantage of playing against bad players is negated. Also, the frustration of b&m speed play at the computer can drive one to insanity.

If you currently have something going at ladbrokes - that is fine. If your struggling to win at .50/1 there, then the same will be true at the vast majority of other sites at the same limit.

I've had an account at LB for 2 years now and I often see at the .50/1 limit 7 or 8 players seeing the flop each hand - even for multiple bets when I raise ..

I say when "I raise" as LB seems to have the most passive games I've played in - even more so than Party. The "european" way seems to mean the "passive" way in the vast majority of cases.

When at LB in these games it's IMPORTANT to jam your money into the pot when you have good draws. In most cases you can put value raises in on the turn and you'll still get 5/6/7 people calling you.

Don't expect your Top Pairs to hold up much .. so play more suited connectors and big suited cards.

By coming to these boards often, you'll pick up good advice on how to extract the most out of the loose/passive calling-stations. So read well .. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
