Anyone care to share how soft and plentiful they are? For the last 9 months or so I've been playing mainly full ring LHE and PL Omaha there. But now full ring for both those games seems completely dried up now that the crypto WSOP promos are over.

I'm not much of a NL ring player, but I've been meaning to learn. Preferably I'd like to be earning rakeback and/or bonuses while I learn
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

I don't know what stakes you play but there is no action there at 50NL+ if you play FR. I saw maybe 3 FR tables of 100NL at the most going during peak hours. And the games are not good at all.

I've never heard of Crypto. Why not just sign up at pokerstars? They don't pay me to promote but the site is great.

Typically I play 50-100 PL/NL.

I have an account at Pokerstars (where I first started out years ago), but the lack of bonuses and rakeback has lead me elsewhere. I know there are some decent freerolls there now for frequent FPP earners, but it's just not the same :P

BTW. Crypto is the network, not the site. Sites on the network include Sunpoker, Interpoker, William Hill, among others. Mainly it's a European site, which works out well for me since I usually play during the day (North American time).

I play on crypto and there is always at least one guy with >50 VPIP on my tables. The games are passive, the pots appear smaller than at other sites but you just have to modify your game a bit to these passive fish, and slowplaying regs.

I like crypto, and 38.5% rakeback plus 1000$ monthly bonus is not bad either for me.

As for full ring tables, there are very few so definitly not the best site for that. 6max tables are plenty though.

Can offer RB deals on most sites, PM me.

they dont allow US players anymore.

they used to be great for us that could play during the afternoons (US times), but even several months before the US regs, i noticed they started getting really rocky.

the bonuses were sweet, easy to clear...they offered rb on top of it all...unheard of. and because of all that, the bonus whores flocked to them like crazy...rocked up their tables, and killed a lot of the action for a TAG like me...LAGs had a field day over there. i suspect they still can...if they dont live in the US...
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!
