    From my limited experience on micro NL ring games at Pokerstars there are a lotta rocks, FYI.

    Ben,

    Are you saying that iPoker is not full of multi-tabling nits?
    Or that's just 6max?
    I thought that iPoker was full of multi-tabling nits (at least FR).

    Thanks!

    True that. Also the the bonuses suck. You'd think at 1k in rake you would qualify for something.
    People suggested ongame and iPoker before, but I suppose it does matter at which of the sites you register, right? So which site would you recommend in particular (I'm in the same situation as the OP, just on Party at the moment)

    Theres a lot of multi-tabling nits at iPoker, but its not full of them. I rarely have problems table selecting for good tables. You generally have 5-10 > 30% VPIP tables, then about 3-4 times that many at 20% or under where apparantly all the multitable nit-tags hang out to pass their blinds around. I only play 6-max, FR might be different.

    I play 20NL at ipoker, and yes it's full of multitabling nits, but they are as profitable as the fishes. Once you play a few thousand hands there you'll realise that they literally play only big pairs and sets. They're so exploitable it's like cheezeburger monies all around.

    I might be missing something obvious here. If I sign of for say: Pokerroom, can I play on the other sites in the Ongame network, too? If not, which one would you recommend?
    What about rakeback, bonus offers and games? They aren't all the same I suppose.

    No, not all the same, heres how it works.

    Basically they share the same playerbase. So if you join one site thats part of the Ongame network, then you play against everyone from all the Ongame sites, however each site has their totally separate deals (signup bonuses, reward programs, rakeback deals, etc). So say you did choose to play at Ongame, then you're well advised to spend a few days checking out all the different Ongame sites and choosing the one with the deals that best suit you (for instance a microstakes player might want a smaller but easy to clear signup bonus, whereas a smallstakes+ player might go for the biggest signup bonus possible, or just the best rakeback deal they can get on any of them, etc).

    What stake are you going to be playing? If ur playing 50NL+...maybe 100NL+ if not that big of a volume of hands, I would really consider Stars starting Jan and going supernova in 09.
