Micro Stakes Online NL Poker Forums

We're pretty excited to start exploring the European landscape for those of you who play on sites other than FTP/Stars (and those of you curious to see if the legend of soft European sites really IS true or is just a myth)!

Myth imo!

I do hope this series isn't gonna ruin my entire business/profit model

-Playing with euroregs. Maybe the regulars are more exploitable because they are more used to softer competition?

LOL. Imagine all the European regs play at night to play US players on US sites. LOL.

how do i take part in this series?

Thanks everyone for the input. I will work with your ideas in later episodes.



@ Acombfosho. I think later episodes will include members but I am not sure which format is suitable for that. I will PM you once I know more.

You say you couldn't make a video on iPoker, if you need one I can record a session at 50NL or lower.

I would love to hear a discussion about bet sizing in thin value spots.

Which sites are in contention? I'd be interested in the definition of a eurosite and which are safe in terms of cash security and customer service.

I'm in the UK and i can say with confidience that for BETFAIR is one of the best (softest) sites for micro-stakes NL.
Iv'e tried most others but this is soft and pretty snug site as the player pool is low so your always have data on the opposition (assumin u have Holdem Manager). The Number of tournaments is low but even so u can find decent overlays as they are often under-subscribed! I would advise using it for cash games only. I dont wish to be racist in any way but i table select looking for players from "cyprus,greece, italy and france"!
If u can handle the suck-outs then you'll do ok.

As for security, Betfair is primarily a betting exchange site - one of the biggest so them going bust is not an issue. They are also regulated in UK so your pretty safe.
If you have any more questions i'll happily answer them for you.

btw

"PKR" is THE LOOSEST SITE IN THE WORLD. But it sucks for multi-tabling and doesn't support HoldEM or PokerTracker.

I think Betfair is actually registered in Malta.

Not sure what other players think but last month I have been rebuilding my roll at OnGame at NL$20 and now at NL$30 and I have to say that you see a lot of players with 28/22 stats with 3betting around 8%. When I used to play NL$100 at Ongame it was very similar feeling as to how agressive the games are. You do get half stacks that suck and bad players but I wouldn't say it's all just as easy as some people might think it is.

Maybe I am on the wrong network to rebuild the roll I had some money on FT as I found it much easier to win at micro stakes however as I was back then palying NL$100 bonus struckture at Ongame was far better then 27% rakeback i was getting from FT.

Sometimes I do wonder are the games software at NL$50 and NL$100 at FT or Stars then Eurosites where there seems to be a lot of agression.

Not to mention that watching training movies from FT or PS, you see guys running tables over as they all just fold to c-bet,

I really would love to see a video from Ongame networkt NL$100 and see how well DC guys can do at it and what they think about it.

I am currently in Europe, but will be moving back to the States soon. Do people play European sites from the US by using a VPN or some type of anonymizer? That sounds risky. I am wondering if I should just stick to US approved sites, but am thinking of trying some European sites while I am here.

Any suggestions?

All sites with any decent amount of traffic are soft in the micros. Euro or US after all they are microstakes.

I Would like to see some leakfinding. Like looking for ways to exploit the different types of euro players.
