I know u us-players aren't allowed to play at laddies, but for u non-us players outthere, how fishy do u think laddies is compared to other sites. I have always tought laddies is very very fishy (i have played at 3 different sites in primanetwork before), but this friend of mine that play laddies and stars find stars far more "crazier" according to playingstyle etc. I am 9-tabling 100NL and currently taking shots at 200NL. The rake at laddies is certainly on of the highest out there and RB is 30%. The VIP-program is nothing special i think. I do love the software as it enables me to 9-table easy on my 17" laptop.

Is it wise for me to move??

ladbrokes 200nl is a joke. Eeveryone si a calling station and noone 3 bets without QQ+ so its hardly a tough game.
The 30% rb is ok once youve played 12k hands or so but i always keep a couple k's on there for early on in my session when the US guys arent out yet because the games are super bad

To be honest, its pretty similar to prima where if no face card flops the regs arent folding 66 for stacks like ever

Ok, so u don't play ladbrokes/prima exclusively cos of the timedifference? The games on stars or party are tougher u think?

Party is the softest site out there, by far.

Prima is still very bad, and you can get some sick RB deals.. so yeah play there

i play ladbrokes friday and saturday, sometimes midweek from 5pm till about 9pm GMT as the games elsewhere havent warmed up elsewhere yet.

Its much softer than prima for example where you get better table selction, but worse games, although betfair is much better for games but perhaps not selection.

I normally move to bodog about midnight when the fish arrive, or play 5draw on ongame

Ladbrokes is ok because if you play 100nl or higher and put in about 5-10k hands you always get the max rb, but its not that great fo a deal

I'm confused, I've never played on Ladbrokes, is it in the Prima network or not?

no
same software and used to be, but it isnt. Some people think it shares tables however this isnt true.

Unibet might still share prima tables however

I can't find any rakeback deals with Ladbrokes so your only option is the cash back offer they give you?

I'll give this site a shot, I wanna step up my table selection.
