After playing for 2 years at PKR i am leaving the site cos PKR did a new release of their software (PKR 2.0) and i cant play with it (i tried but its simply impossible for a grinder like me). So am looking for a new pokerroom which is not as big as top3 (Stars FT, Party) and a littl bigger then PKR (which is not hard cos PKR is losing traffic evryday now )
Anyway want to move my half or full roll to the new site depending if i get maybe more value if i move my full roll to it. Stats: As a true nit i play SNG/MTT in $5 to $50 range, no cash. Room must be easy to multi and i want a deall at 55%+ (total cashback) not lower.
For wot i can see only sites from cake-poker can give me this (rakeback/reload/VIP) and some sites of entraction which i dont like cos bonusses are very hard to clear in there.
Atm i am not playing poker, want to start begin/half September. So any suggestions wud be great TY

Nope id say give cake a miss to....but look at the rake issue you now get, any site puts you in a winning situation. 55% is not that hard to beat providing you get regular re-loads on top of RB and not deducted. Normally id advise FT, but no DoNs there, Everes might be your best hope for RB+bonus, but dont know if its deducted(thats going to be your proble"deducted or not). If im honest Id say play about a bit do a few diffrent sites(deposit bonuses) make a little and after 3-6 months go by go back to PKR. Reputation and noes go a long way. GL finding one.
Its a bit tricky, but join one ongame room after the other and claim the first Deposits.
If you finished one Bonus, take another at other skin and so on.
In the meantime most of the rooms offer reloads, claim them too and you will never run out of Bonusdollars. Most Deals are about 60% Rakeback for SnG Players. ( 8 Pokerpoints per 1 Bonus$ needed, 5 Pokerpoints per 1$ fee is given ).

I wouldn't let easily a room where I am a winning player like you... I don't know the new release issues but I guess you have serious reason. As you said, between the rooms I know, only cake can give you a similar rakeback/cashback etc.. but take in consideration two aspects: - you cannot use HUD software there if I'm not wrong (i don't know if you use one) - DoNs blinds structure is very close to a turbo one ( 6 minutes blind level with antes starting in level 4)

I play on ipoker atm, releasing the gift offers, and for DoN's if you're carefull enough, you can 10 table easily, but pokerstars is the best to do that. plus I love the 6max Turbo DoN's, they're so great

iPoker -- best network IMO Ongame Cereus -- bad reputation due to past (potripper etc) Microgaming Entraction Everest Poker -- best bet PacificPoker -- with 888 --- dont do it Cake Poker -- Dont do it
Well they are your best choices, you will have to check yourself for bonuses.

I personally had problems with 888 and everest software. MY PC is not so good, but other rooms had no problems. In 888 it was pretty normal, that during SnG i had 2-3 breaks about 1 minut or so. And in everest if you open new table, others freeze for a 5-10 seconds. But i played on Everest anyhow, because of weak players.

I play a little on Everest and I cant remember having such trouble. Maybe it's because i only play two tables.¨ But I would recommend Everest. Haven't been able to find rakeback but you can use your points to buy into tournaments as well as sng's GL whatever your choice will be.
too bad that the ipoker skin propaganda poker doesn't exist anymore...they had very nice loyalty bonuses... i personally would recommend ipoker where you can get a special 50% Cashback-Deal (bonuses are deducted but therefor you get some tourney tokens every week with a great value)

TY for all replys guys
I allready play at some Ipoker skins just to clear some small bonusses, not want my main roll there.
Never thought of the Ongame Network, looking at some good offers now, there are some ''hidden'' Ongame deals at sites which only get better when you mention the amount of roll you want to switch.
Anyway thinking bout Cake Skin or Ongame Skin and hopefully (B1gfoot mentioned it) PKR gets better within a half year so i can go back.

Posted by dlkiv: Damn dear I got excited from the title an thought you where starting your own
I am now disappointed.
same here
i was getting ready for a no deposit bonus already
Idem ditto! Looks like there is some demand doomdy.
Maybe you could set up your own, just the size you want, and offer us rekeback etc.
Just wondering why you prefer the smaller rooms? I was going to suggest FT as well, since Party has too few S&G tables and too many grinders, and Stars is even worse as to grinders (probably the worst), at all levels I get the impression.
I don´t get that feeling on FT as much, and the software runs smooth for multitabling. I don´t go much over the $5 ones though, so maybe higher up they´re tougher?
Anyway, I´ll make another post tomorrow to ask some questions. I need some advice, and not a cash player either, too late now.
