GaF Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Re: online poker site recommendations please :welcome to the Lounge Sam What are you looking for in a site and what kind of games do you play? I think this will be important in what we propose to you. Most sites are actually just "skins" for one of the main networks - so if you want to try something different, you should try a different network and not just another "skin" on the same network. Off the top of my head, the main networks I can think of are Prima, Tribeca, Pokerroom, B2B, Boss Media, Cryptologic ..... any big ones missing anyone? The rooms I can think of that aren't part of bigger networks are Party, Pacific, Absolute, Poker4Ever, Ladbrokes (same software as Prima, but not Prima network), Poker Stars .....

Pocket Lady Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Re: online poker site recommendations please Sam on this page there is a section called where to play . :ok http://www.punterslounge.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23271 Also you can see from the threads already where a lot of us play. For a bigginner i would recommend Betfred for the freerolls and also Sporting Odds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Rothstein Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 Re: online poker site recommendations please i play either stt's or mtt's with around a $10 buyin. The sites i have tried are paddy power (complete joke) betfair and ultimatebet. I am just looking for a site that is a decent standard without as many of the idiot brigade kicking around. and thanks pocket lady i will check out the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Re: online poker site recommendations please The PL league game is a good standard for a $1 game - it also has a deep stack (2000 chips) and slow blinds ...... which benefit a more patient game......... The "Champions League" series they run is also great fun - there are a core of maybe 30 players who play most - but with a holiday to Vegas added for the winner, is a great competition :ok We MUST warn you however that SO do have quite a severe problem with large numbers of Hungarian Students, who do enjoy an....ahem.....aggressive approach if you play in freerolls (with multi-regged id's!!) The network (Boss Media) has had more than its fair share of technical problems as well, though with a bit of luck, the situation will improve following their upgrade yesterday ("teething" problems are continuing at the moment) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
