General Discussion Poker Forums

Right now I'm playing at iPoker but two different person has told me that I should play at an easier site.

So here is my criteria:
1. I want to be able to use a HUD, without I start playing like TAG-bot which is really boring and my game stops evolving.
2. I want to play on a site that have action 24/7 when I start my poker day relative early in the "poker-time".
3. I want to be able to datamine so I have an easy way for tableselection [ok with extra software like eyepoker/idleminer]
(4. I want a software that doesn't put me on tilt)

So the sites that is left:
Pokerstars
Full tilt poker
iPoker
Partypoker
(Ongame - Have not played there so I don't know if I like their software)

Current bonuses:
iPoker - Have a really good rakeback deal since I created my account before they banned everything called rakeback.
FTP - The classic 27% + some FTP store even if they don't seem to offer cash tough.
Pokerstars - I can transform my FPP to money, my old calculation landed at ~18% unless you reach the very high VIP levels [where you can get extremely high cashback... after a year and playing 9 tables though]
Partypoker - They closed down all rakeback and their money back system is really poor.

So to make the switch from iPoker to the different sites I need to earn this much more to keep the same winrate just considering the different bonus systems.
~$400NL 6max, /100 hands:
FTP - .6PTBB
PS - .8PTBB
PP - 1PTBB

So the question is:
Would I make another 1PTBB/100 on any of these sites compared to iPoker?
[I understand that this is almost impossible to give a concrete answer to when winrates is almost impossible to know but some different views would be nice]

ooooooo partyyyy pokkker. Americans just want the chance again so I would take it.

I've never played ring on PS or PP but iPoker is way easier than FTP.

You should consider Pacific or Everest, the Fish will throw there money at you there

At a time like this depending on stakes I would stay at a site I though I could trust. That seems to be the biggest issue right now.

Yeah true. I play FT and Stars because of the 'trust' element. I'd stay well away from Bodog.

Yeah after I posted this I searched a little.
1. Pokerstars doesn't allow datamining so thats of my list [and the players seem to be good at that site also, with table good table-selection it would probably still be really good though]
2. FTP seems to be the "easiest" site of the big ones when just looking at average number of players to the flop and biggest pots.
3. Pacific seems to be one of the better sites to play at right now considering average opposition.

So back to the main question:

Do you think that you will make an extra 1PTBB/100 at FTP compared to iPoker?

2. FTP seems to be the "easiest" site of the big ones when just looking at average number of players to the flop and biggest pots.

Not sure what "big" ones are but Stars and FTP are definately ip there and my opinion is FTP is "tougher" of the two upwards to 100NL

Do you think that you will make an extra 1PTBB/100 at FTP compared to iPoker?

I've seen it said many times on various poker-websites that FTP is the toughest. If so, wouldn't that make iPoker softer?

I suggest you search 2+2 forums thoroughly on the subject.

I was also under the impression that FTP was much tougher than iPoker, I'm currently playing my way through the iPoker skins and at least at the small stakes it seems soft. Lots of chinese players joining up recently which I think is a good sign.

at your limits I would stay at iPoker because of the rakeback/ soft play and put money on one other site, to increase your game selection.

Thanks, this is exactly the conclusion I also have drawn. The higher the stakes the more sites I should play on to get good table-selection. When there are 20+ games running there will always be enough good tables so there is no real reason to add another site.
