Looking for a new online cardroom

Fairless · #1 02-22-2005, 05:25 PM

I have been a loyal party poker player for over 2 years now. I have also dabbled at full tilt and ub. Now I am looking for a new room. Any advice? I play mostly .50/1.00 no-limit holdem and pot-limit omaha. Also a nice fat deposit bonus would be nice. Game availability is also a concern. Any word on poker mountain or check and raise poker? How about stars?

I don't about pokermountian or check-n-raise but I suspect game-availability is an issue.

Pokerstars is my favorite...but the ring-games are reasonably tight. If the games were a bit fishier I would play there much more.

They usually have enough NL and PLO action going that you should be satisfied.

Their tournaments are the best but it sounds like you're just in it for the ring-games.
Stars does not offer an initial-deposit bonus...but their reloads are open to new and already existing players.

They haven't had a reload bonus for a couple of months I think so they're probably going to have one soon I would imagine.

In terms of bonus granting / bonus clearing, the crypto sites are the next best fishing hole for the NL player.

Start with Interpoker, then go to Pokerplex, Will Hill, and Carribean Sun in turn. This is over $200 in bonuses every month, and the games are fairly soft, at least at the NL100 level.

The only catch is that several of these sites snail-mail you a PIN that you need in order to cashout, which can take like 10 days or so each.

Do UKBetting and TotalBet, do Carribean Sun as a last resort. They have casino matches as well which are nice.

Do UKBetting and Totalbet have monthly poker bonuses?

Yes. A monthly bonus of 25 pounds a month for 5 table hours. They also have a casino match of 25 pounds a month (deposit 25 pounds - get 25 pound casino match).

I guess in your situation I would open an account at paradise just for bonus whoring.

Sounds like Checknraisepoker.com is what ur looking for. They have a 100% deposit bonus going right now up to $500. The only thing is there's not many players....usually between 100-300.
