i unlocked the bonus in action poker, what network you recomend to play,
cereus is not normal... the trips never win, only got high trips and always lose to straight or flushes, and have many straight draws on flop, i think too much...
action poker, never seen so many pocket kings under pocket aces and stiil the kings wins a lot, and its usual to see AA vs KK vs QQ .... sick
ipoker, its better we dont talk about this one, or we will get haunted by bad beats...
pokerstars its seems ok...
full tilt never played
give some consideration to rakeback on your opinion. If someone disagree with what i say, please feel free to post

The software at ongame is rubbish, but the games are quite soft. You just need to be tilt resistant to handle the bad beats that come with the huge amount of fish.
I don't agree with you about i-poker, and to be honest with you I take more bad beats at Full Tilt than at CD Poker ( i-poker ). I've still not won a MTT game at Full Tilt since 2 years now whereas at CD I've won 3 and I play at both poker rooms very regularly. So obviously there is nothing wrong about i-poker in terms of bad beats. For me every... rooms are same.

Poker Stars is a no-no if you want rakeback. To the best of my knowledge they don't do it.
Full tilt is a very nice site and the software is IMO second to non. The torney's there are good and there's always plenty of players.
If cash games are your thing then Full Tilt may not be the most profitable and I would recommend Poker Heaven or Carbon Poker as you can get a non deductible bonus and bigger rakeback at those sites.They are quite fishy with decent player traffic too.

thank you all for your opinions.
ipoker, im sorry but i have nightmares, never in any site i have so many bad beats, and some times i win that way too, but is too sick...
ongame havent tried...maybe or maybe carbon i read that they pay rake daily, am i right? does it have a nice traffic?
in full tilt as i didnt register with any bonus code i´m not they dont give me rakeback, but i never play real money in there, so i close my account and they said that they put me in a list that maybe in the future they will give me rakeback. 3 month havde passed since that. but i think its bad for them because they lose a custumer... dont really understand that policy...

Just one more suggestion for you.. Don't know if u've tried Bodog, but their sw is my favourite by far. Simple and neet.
They have some pretty good good MTT's and sng's running all the time.
U mentioned that u don't like action poker.. have you tried their $3 rebuy 500gtd tourneys? usually under 100 players and if you have patience you'll always make a hundred or two in just over one hour..

traffic is good - always plenty of NLHE cash games. Rake is indeed payed daily and as I mentioned above you can get a non deductible bonus as well as rake - most bonuses are deducted from your rakeback and are therefore not worth much/anything.
software is good too but perhaps a little gimmicky but that has options to turn the gimmicks off.
There are 2 features I really like, but for reasons that are not obvious. These are the rabbit feature ( where the board can be dealt after everyone has folded and everyone can see what you would have had )and the ability to show just one card.
I never use these options but it encourages the fish to show their cards and you get some free info - nice

I havnt slatted it but jesus the bad beats it truely appers to me to seriously favour the underdog, so many times a day and on nealy every table stupid bad beats, like raising 5 x blinds with J3 spades and hitting quads.
maybe its just me going through a bad beat period.

A MTT is played very diffrent from a sit & go or a ring game. After the fish have been purged the dynamics of the toruney change as do the players level of skill over luck.
its not that i dont like action, i do (i made from the incial 40$ i withdraw 400$ in a short period) it was a kind site for me, i only think that one in there must play with the software ex. i have KK and raise limpers if i got a reraise i fold because certanly that guy has AA! if that happens once in a while, well thats poker, but i see KK under AA too much!
what i meant to say is that one cannot trust in odds! AA winning 85%??? not even close! it happens on ipoker too! nightmare.... brrrr
they should have more frezzeout too. But i asked shaun if he can put me in pay no rake
For now i think i´m gone a try carbon and their bonuses, because the rakeback paid daily sounds good. Hey Dellbo99 are the bonus easy to release at NL25 and NL50?

Even against one opponent you have rarely a 85% chance with the aces. Against multiple opponents those chances drop even more.

You only have 33% pre flop with rockets.
you only have high odds with AA after the cards are shown, and then that is based on not yet having a flop.
You shoud always try to have a 1vs1 if it looks like an allin preflop, and regardless of what statistics or odds say at best you have a 50/50. So based on this information it really is a case of "Do you feel lucky" well do ya!

Fulltilt is a good place to play. 70000 players online, lot of tournaments with great prizes. You can also find many fish at cash games. And of course rakeback is a good thing.

Posted by kevinnivek: Hey Dellbo99 are the bonus easy to release at NL25 and NL50?
for initial deposit bonuses $1 is earned for every 250 player points and released in $10 increments.
At 25NL and 50NL you get 3 points for every hand your dealt in for that goes to a flop ( weather you play your hand or not is irrelevant )
As most hands go to a flop at the low stakes this usually means you earn $1 for every 100 hands you see. So if you 4 table then you release about $4 an hour.
2.5 hours a day will see you release $10 - over a month you should make $300 quite easily even at these low states,
Pretty good I'd say.
Also you get alot of geat freeroll torneys just by earning player points:
$1000 freeroll mon - Fri and $2000 on a Sat by earning 1000 points in last 3 days
$10000 freeroll on Sun by earning 2500 points in last week
$50000 freeroll last Sun in month with 5000 points in last month
14 $500 freerolls with your first deposit
Also have regular reload bonuses - usually 100%
And if that isn't enough then if you make a deposit through Netteller or Moneybookers then you get another bonus that can be released while clearing other bonuses ( double bonus )
I don't know how they make money!!!
Currently there's a bad beatbonus that's running at 1.2 million dollars ( a new world record - apparently )
No - I don't work for Carbon but their range of freebies, bonuses and promotions is truly remarkable and I'm currently making a packet.
