Well I have decided to start playing on a new poker site. Which site do you think it would be better for me to join and why? I want one which offers rackback. Hopefully easy fish to bet at the tables. Going to be able to do a cash out from BRM in about two weeks. Do not want to just deposit it onto PStars. Want to try my luck one a new site. So my fellow mobsters which one do you recommend? PKR or 888? Thank you all in advance best wishes to you all. Be Cool

maybe you must join the site who will pay you - exactly 888 , i think! I try PKR but there is no tables to playing ,sorry i forgot for this jokes in Eights - only in freerolls situations

For a long time project you must go for PKR as they have a not bad sign up deal and indeed because of the rakeback offer too and the traffic for micro cash game there is pretty cool. But at 888 you can make money quicker as their freerolls are awesome compared to PKR...

You want to join a site that gives you a nice bonus for joining. You can play with their money for quite a while. Most of these Poker sites are all pretty good but i would always check on these forums before you start. Good luck on whichever one you choose

Out of all the poker sites, PKR has one of the best rakeback programs because it is all in-house. What that means is that your rakeback payments go right into your PKRpoker account, instead of being paid by check or into a third party account. Also, if there is ever an issue with your account, you deal with PKR directly and not a third party. lthough the maximum rake in most poker hands is $3, and you only receive a small share of it back, rakeback really adds up, and you could receive a four figure kickback each month by getting 30% PKR Rakeback

There are some saying that PKR doesnt go so well, like jessthehuman who plays mostly there and i see some movement lately here in threads regarding 888. So if the rake is almost the same i would definitely choose 888.
mirexxx i havent heard so far of rakeback that doesnt get credited into your account

I enjoy playing on PKR, but the traffic is pretty low these days.. Although, not really a problem if you only play small stakes (SNG/MTT under $20 and Cash games under nl100 - still plenty of traffic).

it depends- one thing i would deffo check if you're a new player on both rooms is the signup/new player bonus...dunno if u qualify for this, but BRM has a gift offer once u signup with PKR through them ( http://www.bankrollmob.com/free-gifts.asp ). that's a very generous offer when starting out imo.

Well I am planning on joining both PKR & 888. Never had an account on either that I know of so I should qualify for ant new user offers. I have a $20USD Ukash ticket to use as my opening deposit on one site and have 4300 mob points so very clost to being able to cash out from BRM into my skrill account which will give me funds on the other account. My PStars account is about to get a new influx as cash as well because I am doing well on the PSO leaderboard so on the 2nd of December those winning will get added to my account there. These 3 poker rooms will become my bread & butter over the next year. 2014 is going to be must better for me then 2013 was. It really can not help but get better 2013 had a lot of problem creep into my life with health and personal issues taking there toll. Looking forward to a new better year. Wishing you all the very best be cool

Do not play on 888 unless you have photo ID I used to play on there, they let me put money on there but when i won they wouldnt let me withdraw without photo ID which I dont have. So i have $200 stuck on there same happened to my friend. PKR is much better I've won a lot of money on there. The players are easy but you need a good pc and its very slow paced.

And its their fault you dont have a photo ID? Every single poker room either asking for it or not, says, that you may be required to provide identification at some point. And you have to accept the agreement before opening an account. In other words you risked in your own will.
35 years old in UK without a photo ID. Hows that possible?

This means that the transfer has been made, if you have selected a transfer to NetEller etc. / a pokersite. If you selected gift certificate(s), they will arrive usually within a few weekdays (depending on your location).

I simply just don't understand it In USA and Canada you can get a drivers license when you turn 16, you can work in the military as a soldier when you turn 18, but you can drink alcohol and go to disco clubs when you turn the age of 21 This is very confusing
So, when you are 18, you can be a soldier and go into a war, but you are not allowed to drink alcohol untill you are 21
In Europe it is very simple. For all these things (including a drivers license) you can apply when you turn 18.
I was always wondering how will you permit to 18 yeras old kid to go to a war, but you don't allow him to drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes and go to discotheques untill he reaches 21 years of age.
I remember in the past, when I worked as a bartender in Sofia (the capital of Bulgaria), came a group of K4 (USA) soldiers and they wanted to drink pints of beer mixed with tomato juice I thought I didn't understand the order and I repeated: "Half of pint of beer and half of tomatoe juice mixed in one glass " And they said: "Yes, that's correct". I was really shocked nobody purchased things like that before. Why am I telling you this story? Because I remeber some of these US soldiers were 17 years old and I didn't serve them the alcohol.
Now, do you get my point? They can risk their life, go into a war, but when entering in the bar they are not served because they don' have 18.
May be it should be better like it is in Europe, for all these things you are allowed when you reach 18, and for USA should be for all these things when you reach 21. Am I right
