I play 100NL & 200NL 6max. Is the play soft there? I'm looking for a home with rakeback and bonuses and this looks good so far, just need to know about the play.

I play 100nl 6max (usually between 9pm and 1am GMT - I'll tell you my screen name if you tell me yours  ). I don't really know how the play is, compared to other sites; I think it is probably tougher, because of the b0nus/rb benefits, and there are certainly a group of regulars I have come to know fairly well, several of whom I will definitely avoid if possible.
Unfortunately I have probably only played 3k hands at $100 elsewhere, and most of these were when I was a $100nl noob (and my desperately bad results prove this). Recent experiments at Party indicate that it IS weaker there, but my sample size is honestly too small.
I think if you are a proven, consistent winner at $100nl, you should be able to a) make a profit on the tables and b) make at least $500 per 10k hands in b0nus and rb. Only after 20k+ hands will you be able to judge with any accuracy whether the amount you're making from b0nus/rb makes up for any increase in difficulty at Crypto.

p.s. if you do sign up for Crypto rb, can I be your referrer? PM me if that's not a cheeky question!

I already signed up at a site, I just haven't deposited money or played there yet.
I'm playing on an Ongame site now and still working on the Eurobet deposit bonus, have to finish that one before I move on.
I wouldn't expect anything to be as soft as Party. Getting bonuses & rakeback with games like that would be too good to be true.

Sorry for this minor hi-jack...
I play on Ongame as well on 100NL 6max and have not played elsewhere. How soft do you consider the game to be at Ongame? You are obviously considering moving inspite of pretty good reload offers.
I'm just wondering what your thoughts are...
Thanks

I like the play at Ongame, seems pretty soft overall, I just hate the software (for several reasons) and my Poker Tracker doesn't get like 10% of my hands. I can't seem to find a way to fix that either. I'd also like to play 6max instead of the 5max they have.

I like Pie,
If you are looking for a Crypto site to play on, feel free to take a look at Sunpoker. We have been doing rakeback for 3 years now and give you the opportunity to view your rake stats daily. Bonuses are not deducted from your rakeback.
If you have any questions just let me know. FTR has a great rakeback program set up with us here so please feel free to sign up with them for your Sunpoker rakeback.

I play at Crypto 100NL between 11am and 2am GMT (not constantly though)
I've decided it's actually too tight to play between 12pm and 4pm, once people start getting home from work it seems to loosen up but the lunch time hours are just abolutely full of 19/15 Tags. 4 til 10 are the best times for sure. I've nearly cleared $400 of bonus and 200 of rakeback in April, when i finish that i'll go to Plex and do 200 bonus there and 5 hours at Will Hill. If i've still got time I might do the 100 bonus at Sun as well.
I'm not sure how the evening hours compare to other sites, i'm considering looking up Party but my account doesn't have rakeback (Don't know if any do?)

crypto= eurostars.
eg. where all the euro nits play who would play on stars 
its true that crypto prob have the best reload bonuses and rakeback, but if youre at 100nl and boarderline 200nl, then a good site with good games is probably better than rakeback+bonuses+bad games.

i agree but i like the sound of Cryptostars
If your playing FR i havent seen a 200NL table yet. I dont get the STG games, exchange rates screw both Euros and Dollars.

I won't be playing there during the day, I'm 5-8 hours behind the Euros. So I think I'll give it a shot and play at Crypto in the afternoon (my time) and play at UB or AP during the evening/night.

I am in the GMT+12 zone and the play there was nittier than nits on a nit day out. However, when I opened up my game I made quite a good profit from all the dead money. Also the Pound tables were far looser than the USD ones.

i haven't tried the £ tables but that might make sense as all the bonus whores will be on the $ tables as that's where you can clear your bonuses most efficiently for your level, the rake is also halved on $ tables.
