    Anybody play there? I just deposited some money to take part in a promotion. Just wondering if anybody knows anything about the site. I just played one sit'n'go and some jackpot limit and the sng was REALLY soft. The jackpot limit is a total rakehog, 50 cents per hand per player playing LHE 1/2!! Just waiting for my first royal flush ;-)

    Any particularly good games there?

    I created an account a couple of days ago.

    They have a daily game at 9.30pm CET, which alternates from $30 and $50 buy in and has a 20k guarantee. 2500 starting stack and 15 min levels.

    Played in it on Tuesday - play was terrible, which is good, but software is beyond bad. They've got an ok sunday tourny as well, which i don't think will reach it's guarantee. $120, 80k.

    wow, sounds pretty good. No good tourneys before 21:30 CET? Going to school sucks because I can't start tourneys after 19:00 CET...

    i played there for a little while a few months ago,

    Positives:

    The play is soooooooooooo bad, gets a lot of its customer base from 888.com gambling.
    The 20k gtd is a good tourney and there's an $11r around that time with so much dead money.
    Sngs are soft. Good sng layers can expect a much higher ROI than elsewhere.
    Some overlays.

    Negatives:
    The software is awful compared to the bigger sites.
    I get a headache because of the software.
    You can only 4 table at most.
    Not high traffic so not high selection of games,

    It is because of the negatives i only played there for a short time.........

    First site I ever used, I had no idea how to play. Joined a limit tourney for $50 and just followed hand suggestions on back of book and took it down for 8k. If it is like it was back then, here is one suggestion do not type while in a big hand they used hot keys that would fold you, put you all in ETC. I think F is fold,becareful.

    I signed up because of a promotin a few months ago.....the software is really bad, you'll need a few spare laptops cause you're going to throw one out the window every time you accidentally hit the all-in button. The play is very soft but you won't see this cause you'll be too busy trying to reconnect every five minutes. If you're willing to put up with this you might make some money.

    I started out playing online poker on this site. Me and my buddies used to just sign up accounts like hundreds and like one out of ten would get sent a free ten bux lol. Anyways i played it for like a year with a lot of succes in like 5/10 dollar sngs and also there was a nightly like $15 10k gauranteeed or something i used to wreck played it for like amonth and had three thirds. Stopped playing cuz i thought it got shut down with the rest, but now that im at stars ill probably stay there.
