Hi Guys,

After 2 months fo grinding Zoom poker and after listening about the new lock poker rakeback opportunity i want you to help to weight things out.

* in this two months(april and may) i have played 5nl and 10 nl summing up 107,693 hands.

* I have won 71.97 dollars which is a win rate of 1.29 bb/100 but EV bb/100 is 2.56, i haven't been running good. i dont like my EV win rate anyway, much of this is poor game when i focus i know i can have a 4 to 5 bb/100 win rate at this stakes.

*Im planning to move to 25NL as soon as i cash som VIP bonuses and boost my bankroll to 30 BI for 25 NL

*I have multitable up 18 table with possitive results, previous zoom. i use table ninja though.

So whats your opinion about lock poker:

*traffic at this stakes
*rackeback and bonus sounds nice , is it?
*competition, is it harder, softer or the same?
*Cashing out, is it easy, fast and safe?
*How safe is the site for non US players (based at mexico)
*Maybe spliting BR, opinions on this

I want to thank you all and i hope you can help to figure this out.

*And of course who is the best option to have a deal with, i had a FTP deal with thenuts.com

greetings all

cake software sucks, and lock support/ cashouts sucks even more. Browse 2+2, there are a bunch of guys waiting > 100 days for their money. RIP LOCK, imo. Most people i've talked that played @ lock, will stay on merge, they're bringing rakeback again.

Really curious as to why you are playing so many tables of 10nl.

yeah, I'd drop down in tables,study harder and increase winrate, get to 100NL and then add diffferent sites. At 100NL it's easier to get the max out of 1st deposit bonuses and that combined with rakeback provides a pretty sick rakeback.

i guess because sometimes good fishes at the tables > 60% rb deals. Had the most annoying deal at ipoker, with 60% rb, and the tables are full of nits, nit regs, and nit bots.

that was why I tried out stars again too (usually played at ongame) but I think with a little tableselection or if you are willing to play only at prime times the "rb - sites" are a better deal imo

For someone who plays little poker sure PS isn`t the nuts. But for supernovas+ status players it`s the best IMO. It has ton of different games and different stakes, ton of tables to chose from, very good software, great support, cashing out is fast and they proven themselves time and time again in my eyes (payed ppl after BF, made PTR stop tracking hands etc.). As for rakeback, do some research on how to spend your vpp. Idk personally I`m ok with getting ~30% rake yearly for these kinds of perks.
