Don't worry about low numbers of tables running - just remember they are softer than any others and probs your win rate will be higher grinding 2 of those than say 6 of somewhere else. Just have multiple sites open, sit on the best tables and crush.

Seems to be missing a bunch of the hand unless you folded to the min raise on the flop?

Hey guys! Well I might as well get the bad news out the way first! I should have known better than to split my bankroll! The gods definitely know when your roll is not as deep as it possibly should be Smile I have dropped 10 buyins or so this week on Betfair! I am not one to twist on about EV and variance so will keep it short! I have ran horribly this week and had so many set up hands I could not do anything about really! Have lost 6 stacks GII with Kings against Aces pre in a week haha! But like I say lets not dwell on what we cannot control! The decision now is that I am not really rolled for 20nl on Ipoker and they do not do 10nl speed! So I either switch to SJ and grind some super juicy Blaze games or move my remaining £230.00 to Tonybet and have a nice roll there for the 50nl games! Hmmmmmmmm.........

On a brighter note I have been killing it on Tonybet over the weekend! Games are insane good and I have won pretty much what I lost at Betfair! I am really loving Tonybet I pray it takes off! It is like Sky poker with 80% returns Smile

Let me know what you guys think is best option for my £230.00 ha! One last option could be to not re invest it and that means my roll on Tonybet is all profit and I have all of my initial £500.00 withdrawn............

The decision is simple: TonyBet!

Blaze games have now stopped over on SJ as the cannon promo has ended soooooooooooo gogogogo

Yes I have just continued with Tonybet for the time being! I haven't sent my extra money over just going to see how things go and it is always there to re load my BR a bit if need be!

The really interesting thing about Tonybet is that 10nl is without doubt a better standard than 25 and 50nl! It is exactly the same pool at 25nl and 50nl just depends what table the games have formed on! But the gamblers on 25 and 50 do not bother with 10nl so it is quite nitty regs there! Funny little dynamic but it sort of makes sense when you think about it!

Soooo still splashing about with the whales on Tonybet! Really enjoying the games on there nothing serious but plenty money to be grabbed! 2-3 tabling most of the time!

Even had the one and only Jbone join in the fun tonight! Turns out he was live streaming on Facebook and I managed to stack him AA v KK all in pre.............gg fish Smile

I have a little plan for what I am going to do to fill in the gaps from Tonybet! I was given a random free $5 from Stars a few weeks ago! I have been messing around on my phone occasionally and I currently have $11! So my plan is to start at 2nl and try and grind it up! Something I have never done before and just for the banter really! But Im looking forward to seeing where I can get to!

Hey guys! I have had a real rollercoaster the last week! Up until Saturday this week I was flying and couldn't remember my last losing session! Increased my bankroll by almost 100% in a week! Then Saturday night came and there were 2 25nl whales sitting at 100nl...............and I just couldn't resist Smile Cut a long story short I obviously ran like death and dropped over 300 euros!

The good news is I again haven't had a losing session since and have won about 8 buy ins back at 25nl! Have been playing Toynbet for roughly 3 weeks now and have only had 1 small losing session at 25nl! There is just loads of fish which in turn makes the regs really bad! They just nit it up and wait for the fish to spew! So its a really good mix really! Still loving Tony bet and more importantly enjoying poker again!

I love the heart and it sounds like a good spot to shot take in.

If you're too careful your whole life can become a fucking grind!

Yep one of the whales at 100nl was 'Rtyu' from your video! He actually plays a lot.......... Smile

Im obviously not rolled for 100nl but my current BR is certainly not the only money I have in the world so wud rather take a shot and have to reload than miss big valueeeee!

Things still going good on Tony bet! Won another 80 euros or so last night so just over 100 euros or so to recoup the whole of my 100nl shot loss!

The only problem still with Tonybet is the traffic! Last night there was only 1 x 25nl and 1x 50nl running sprodically through the night! So been looking to add a second site! I have been thinking about options and since playing on Tony bet I have realised that grinding thousands of hands on IPoker/Microgaming with a small win rate plus RB is just not for me! I play poker to enjoy it more than for the money! So I want another 'recreational' site to play at! I also like the idea of no huds as you get so many players with very little poker ability at all winning just by being good at exploiting stats! Which does not sit too well with me!

So I registered an account with the new site Natural8 through the week! I have only railed the games etc so far as I was not sure of the site and it did look a bit 'iffy' ha! But having done so and following the threads on here it seems to check out! There are a shit load of games running and they seem soft enough! When I first logged in I thought the software looked hideous but you can customise pretty much everything on the table and those options are much better and cleaner! So I am going to deposit enough just to start at 10nl and see how things go! Should be fun Smile

Alright! Good to hear things are going well for ya on the felt... well apart from the 100nl loss...

have you tried unibet? Not sure what the 25nl or 50nl tables are like really but it seems the action is really soft generally and pretty good player pool... plus no hud! I'm enjoying playing there... might be worth giving a shot?

I'm interested to know how Natural8 goes for you

cheerio

Hey Buddy long time no speak! Yes Unibet is a site I have never actually tried! I tend to go for sites with actual flat rakeback percentages! Think I will give it a try if Natural8 doesn't suit tho!
Posted 8 years ago
So I took the plunge and deposited enough to play 10nl on Natural 8! So far my money hasn't been funnelled into a Triad prostitution ring like many seem to think! My view is that yes it is probably not as regulated as over here but I'm not gonna starve if I lose my £200! When you look at the start of online poker everybody thought the whole thing was super shady and your money was going to be stolen by the sites making accounts and fixing cards! But the likes of Prahlad Friedman etc took the plunge and made gazillionz! Not because they were GTO wizards but because they were better than the fish they were up against!

So far the software is great, games are soft and traffic is insane! I have just logged on at 8am and there was 30 full 10nl tables running and 18 25nl tables! I normally cannot even play at this time so a win win for me! Think this is gonna be my main site for the time being!

Right on... yeh the unibet rake is weird, I've no idea how much I've actually received but for sure it's been good... I enjoy the anonymous factor aswell.

Keen to see how it goes at Natural8.

Enjoy!
