Default yep

the response I gave was on the little info you gave in you're 1st post, when someone says Im looking for somewhere to put $500 I usually play 1/2 NL, wouldnt you take it the same way Lou and I did. You said thats not your whole bankroll so now with the correct info I say way to go because you play well beyond my level.

As for where to play like TP said you playing the real small sites time to step up to the big ones where you can play and make alot more money.

As for what Lou says I can't speak for him but im guessing he means we always have these people that stop in here and make a post exactly like your 1st one never to be seen again. He grouped you in that group just because the post is exactly like 5-6 we get here every month. The forum is filled with players just like you that have made alot playing poker (not me) and I think you will be very welcome here.


welcome to forum.

I'm glad we got that cleared up. I understand where you are coming from...I know how commom it is for people to make one post and never to be seen again. My observations are that these type of people are normally promoting a poker site or bragging about their online successes. That is why I purposely made no mention of making money online. Now that we have an understanding, I still say this seems like a very knowledgable and close-knit forum. Definitely no hard feelings here...just a bit of a misunderstanding!!!

OK...back to the topic...of the "big" sites (Stars, Party, etc.) what do you recommend. Again, I can read reviews, but I'm looking for personnal experiences. Also, has anyone played Pacific Poker? I've heard that is very loose/fishy....

Also...those small/"ma and pa" sites may not have the traffic of some of the other sites, but they do offer some great deposit bonuses, up to 1000%. I have never had a problem with cashouts either and have had pretty good successes at them. If you are only playing the big sites, you may want to try a smaller site just to clear some of the bonus and cash out. Winning AND getting paid to play is pretty cool...I'm sure many of you would agree.

First, are you SURE that the first two responses had nothing to do with your question and were talking down to you, because mine certainly doesn't seem to qualify....?

I've played at pretty much all the sites. I think bonus whoring is great way to build a bankroll. Once you've gotten all the initial deposit bonuses, then you'll get emails for all their reloads and can bounce around and get them too. I honestly think you should have an account at every one of the big sites, and move your play around as you see fit (chasing bonuses, chasing fish, whatever).

There is no need to "wait" for a bonus at Party, as JD suggested. You can find their standard deposit bonuses listed .

After that, since you like big bonuses, go get 100% up to $600 bonus.

Be sure to get an account at too - they have $100 bonuses every MONTH.

does indeed have an easy bonus to clear (IMO - it's slower at the microlimits), and some REALLY bad players.

You also HAVE to get an account at ... well, just because it's about the best site out there, and they have nice reloads regularly too.

I'm not really sure how to answer your question any better than that. But I will say that a lot of times (not always), I can give you a little somethin somethin EXTRA (on top of what the site gives you) if you open your accounts through my links. PM me for more info if you are interested...
