I play at Sportingbet.com. But I am tired of their technical ineptness. I want to move. I also want to take advantage of rakeback, and Bonus.

What are peoples reccommendations?

I am thinking;

FullTiltPoker -> $600 Bonus, 27% Rakeback

or

DoylesRoom -> $550 Bonus, 25% Rakeback.


Any other suggestions? Thanks.

There is more you should take into consideration besides bonuses and rakeback. You're coming from one of, if not the fishiest, poker rooms. The bonus and rakeback you get from FullTilt may not be enough to compensate for the weak play you're leaving behind. FullTilt is generally considered one of the tightest poker rooms and from what I hear, their bonus is incredibly difficult to clear. I'm not saying that you shouldn't consider bonus and rakeback options, but I strongly urge you to look at other factors as well.

That is why I was leaning towards Doyles room, I hear that room is weak also.

Perhaps, I should cash out, and transfer out and into celeb poker.

They have rakeback, and a bonus.

Is this the correct play?

I just signed up Doyles Room a few days ago. I would highly recommend it to you cause the players i was up against were very easy to beat at 100NL. (i only played there for about 20 hours, but there are always 1-3 weak players at the table)

Although the Bonus will be hard to clear at lower Limits. If you need a bounus code for the 110% + SS2 look at http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...ic.php?t=22767

Hope this helps.

Pokerroom doesn't suck at all. Go there. I'll even refer you if you like

(seriously, it's my favourite poker site of the 4 I've played)

Full Tilt seems to have better/tighter players then the average at 25 - 100NL, and their bonus takes AGES to clear. Pokerroom seems much fishier at this level - the play at 25NL is abysmal, but the bonus also takes a fair while.

Party is pretty easy at 25nl to clear for good profits. 50nl is supposedly a rock fest as it is at absolute but ive cleared good money at both so i think they'd be okay.
Paradise wasnt to bad, the sngs were fishy but ring game was a bit tougher than average but still beatable. Only thing is their mtt system sucked.
Id recommend party, absolute, paradise and even stars for ring. All imo are beatable

I'll tell you another thing that I would like is poker tracker compatibility. I want to make better plays, and it just doesn't support sportingbet....

Thanks for the heads up guys, I'm still not sure. Maybe I'll pass on fulltilt... that seems to be the consensus.

the bonuses at Fulltilt are some of the hardest to clear of any of the big sites, and the play is a lot tighter.

i have the highest winrates at poker room, pacific (tho you can only play one table) and poker stars (which has gotten a lot softer in the past year due to massive growth)
