    Default Moving to England

    I'm moving to London in June for a few months and I'm planning on playing a lot of online poker while I'm there. Is pokerstars my best option or are there other really legitimate non u.s. sites that are worth checking out? I had Supernova status when BF happened, but I see rb sites offering 40% on Carbon Poker which sounds really good.

    I can't wait to get back to playing online and figure out what the games are like these days! Have the games gotten noticeably tougher the past 12 months?

    also what's the best training site for shorthanded these days? BFP seems pricey but I'd be willing to pay for it if the content is well worth it

    I have no idea about any of it but look forward to the 'life in england' blog.

    ZOOOOM ZOOM ZOOOOM! If you liked Rush poker on FT then problem solved!

    If not, then there are a shitload of options to choose from. Pokerstars is still your best option for many reasons, but wouldn't hurt checking out other sites.

    Whatever you do, just stay away from iPoker - it is abysmal. Easy to get seduced by the 60% RB but probably the worst games anywhere and the most disgusting angle shooting regs imaginable.

    Also where in London are you going to be?

    Thanks for the support and info guys. I'll be living in Wood Green when I'm in London and a small town called Oundle when I can get out into the English countryside.

    I was never too keen on the Rush games on FT but I'll definitely give ZOOM a try when I get back on stars.

    I'll probably go back to Leggopoker for my poker education since they have good 6max instructors, plus they're about $100 less per year than BFP.

    talk to l_clan_sup3rman about his experiences getting poker set up in the uk. from memoy,Bank account really held him up getting set up as its needed to proveyou're located in the UK for stars, and to get the bank account you need utilities bill.

    Once you can get money onto an ewallet you can open accounts at euro poker sites and fund them,its just getting the money onto the ewallet in the first place that was hard.
