New poker room nearly giving away money to get more people

Here's a new poker room I've found recently. http://www.theplatinumpokerclub.com/

There's not a ton of people there yet, but I've found that I can make money in their $2/$4 ring games, and I'm not a good ring game player. There's some fish and some chasers, but most of the people are rather serious players, but I wouldn't call them sharks or rocks by any stretch of the imagination either.

The reason I went there originally is for their multiplayer tournies, and here's where the site is really juicy. Since they just came out, they have very few people that sign up for their multitable games ($5 entry), and by very few I mean 15-25 players a game. But the crazy thing is that they gaurantee $500 in this tournaments and they pay 10 places, so its pretty easy money, and your "pot odds" in these things are incredible. For $5, you just have to outlast 10 people or so, and you make $40 or whatever. They're losing money with these tournaments really, and will continue to do so until they get more people.

Plus they have even more juicy freeroll type tournaments right now, to "kick off their opening". You can buy into these with frequent player points (50 points each - or 50 raked hands), and I racked up enough of these in one day to play in tons of them. Right now they're having $2,000 freerolls with about 80 people, paying 20 spots well. And what's really crazy is for 500 frequent player points (after 500 raked hands), you can get into this huge 25k tournament, that is paying a huge proportion of the people that have entered so far (200 some), and paying them very well.

Basically, they don't have enough people yet, and so there's some ridiculously good money to be had here for very little, to try and attract more people to play here.

Also, their interface is pretty nice. You can type in bets, unlike at Paradise, which I like. They have a very cool "hand replayer" thing, so you can replay any of your past 50 hands right at a table. And they have some crazy bonuses, like returning a percentage of your rake. I've checked my account history and seen some bonuses I'm getting that I don't even know what they are (I assume that's getting a portion of my Rake Back).

If anyone signs up, put that I refered you when you create an account (my user name there as well is: Michael1123 ), and I'll get a Bonus, and you'll get a $25 referal Bonus as well just for telling them I refered you, along with all their usual deposit bonuses (50% on your first deposit). Don't know why, but hey, it works.

thanks for the info, michael, i'll check it out tonight.

hey xianti - does have ftr have any affiliate relation with these guys? if not and i sign up, i'll list michael as the referral.

I know the interface sucks, but www.royalvegaspoker.com has incredible multis that pay out prize pools 2-3x the entry fees collected.

If you don't believe me, just download it and look at the multi tables and how many people register!

I've cashed out without incident at least 10x there now - the forced check option for the first 90 days is a little shady, but I haven't had any problems receiving them, so I can't complain.
