First impression at Prima

FlFishOn · #1 03-06-2005, 02:28 PM

I went for the Golden Tiger 50%to $200 bonus today, just too juicy.

The software has most of the features I simply can not believe other sites lack. Choosing your seat, wow what a concept. I like big overlapping tables and this is a big plus. They have almost solved the disfunctional button problem. Check and Call are far from the same thing yet they share the same space at most every site. Prima has solved this but their buttons are oddly layed out, fold is not the left-most button. Oh well, still movement forward. Their bet slider sucks and I play NL only.

Just caught another great feature, hands undress in correct order after a checked out final round starting with the last bettor of the previous round! This is rare (but proper IMHO) even in B+M joints.

Games are reasonable fast, quicker than Party, slower than UB. Lots of fish in little NL.

Now questions for regulars. Can I change the card back color?

i'm looking at the site and don't see anything about the conditions of the bonus? Do you have some info? Is it points, number of hands?

Cheers,
Travis

I heard 5x raked playthru. I'm hoping that's true.

I was also checking out City Poker's first deposit bonus, 25% up to $100, for 250 raked hands (or at least I think).

If it's true, this one could be too good to pass up, anyone have any comments?

They define a raked hand as one where YOU personally contribute money to the pot - fold preflop outside the blinds, and that is not a raked hand!

Dunno for sure. I played a couple hours got credit for 188 hands. I sure didn't play in 188 hands.

Does it clear in 20 buck increments or all at once?

one chunk

According to BW this has recently changed. All pots raked now count toward bonus.

1. Is there a time limit to clear the raked hands?

2. If I already have an account at The Gaming Club, can I get the sign-up bonus here too?
