Posted by godward89: Is the points structure any good?
Depends on your style of play and the other players on the table. Everest is one of the last rooms to give points to all the players at the table, no matter if they are in the hand or not. So for full ring players this is a good room. But the bonus system has worsened over the years, so don't expect to much out of it.
I'm not much of a cash player, mostly sng an MTT. I've noticed they have some tournaments with substantial overlay. At the stakes I'm playing they have a 1.000 GTD with buy-in of $1. The times I've played it there have been 550-670 participants GL
And off course you must be sure to take part in their first dep freeroll. $ 1000 GTD and the day I played it there were 117 players and money for top 100. Made it to third place and won $90

wow sounds like the tourneys are easy not that many players might take a look...
Well your advice is right, everest is pish. Played 2047 hands, had kings 47 times, came up against aces 33 of them 47 times and lost the rest to flushes, brilliant

me too.....and every time against 5 of a kinds
@ shoka: LOOL +1
anyway I came back on everest recent times ( i received a mail with a bonus for me); iplayed SSS at NL10 and NL25 tables (as they have dealt rakeback as shokaku said) and cleared it easily. lots of donks there in my opinion but traffic go up and down depending on when you play.
Here is GMT+2 and in the mornig traffic is very low, go a bit up at lunch time and is higher on evening and night

Don't fold 'em next time.
that's easy for you to say. It's different when you're facing a re-raise. I mean, yes, you hold the stone cold nuts, but on the other hand, you want to give yourself a staunch table image. So best move is to fold + show. Let everyone know to respect your raises.

somehow I feel this is no longer a serious discussion, or is it just me

Honestly, if I ever saw such a move, I would have no idea whatsoever of how to play that dude! It might even, in the long run, be a good move...

Guess i´ll have to give it a go? Mostly play FT and PP. But I´m kind of fed up with the huge player pools. Playing through a huge field of runners just to end up with a couple of bucks.
Think i´ll definitely have to give Everest a try soon, by the sound of it. Thanks.

IMO - well based on 2 days lol (invested 100$ into it to test the tables, as they say its full of bad players), it really is full of bad players. Ive played some tourneys, cashed 2, one final table and other far from it lol. Anyway what amazes me even more than bad players, is THE RNG! Ive always looked my own game when having trouble with bad runs and all, but it really feels like something is wrong with Everest RNG. Ive played bout 1000 hands in plo10, plo25 lately and what ive seen is astonishing .
After 1000 hands im break even or little +, and i know its not sample size, but honestly, this is worst poker site I have ever been playing. I wouldnt recomment it to anyone.

I havent looked into hand stats jet, but I guess its something similar I was talking about.
