They dont have good bonuses either.

Well the Codepoker bonus for this month equates to over 4PTBB/100 - that's more than the rake paid I would think even shorthanded.

I play the Cryptos (Will Hill and Sun Poker) a fair bit - I find them pretty weak-tight usually.

Funny - when I as playing $50 NL Full Ring a couple of years back I had the best PTBB/100 of all at UB (about 14 as I recall). I still played Party as the bonuses were better mind you. I always found UB full of weak-tighties who would lay down to any pressure.

That said it's probably different now (the only times I've played as it recently are for their MTT's which have a very nice structure).

Have they sorted out the instamining (historic hh's) feature that they turned off a few updates ago? If so I might go back for a trial as I've at least $1700 in bonuses there and they upped the effective release rate a few months back.

Yeah, you can instamine. I would think that your style of play would fare pretty well at UB, because it is full of a bunch of weak-tighties. It's not so great for a nit like myself, but a sLAG should do well.

Prima doesn't show mucked cards in its HH, otherwise it's pretty decent software-wise.

The ability to mine 10 tables is obviously very handy.

I think you'll find the standard of play at Prima to be about the same as at the Cryptos.

Ladbrokes runs the same Microgaming software as Prima but with a different and slightly weaker player pool.

The Codepoker deal is pretty good if you are a winning player. The rake is probably worth about 4PTBB/100 in 6 max, so if you can make 4PTBB/100 winnings that's the same as 50% RB. As I can manage about 7PTBB/100 (over last 15k hands anyway) it's clearly better for me.

To max out the bonus you need to run at 10PTBB/100 which is pretty hard to do long term. Once you have made the first 1500 raked hands there isn't usually much pressure to 'get the hands in' which is good (my worst downswings used to come when I didn;t really want to play but felt I had to to get X raked hands in for bonus or RB). It focusses you on results which must be good at the tables.

If you were going to put a lot of hands in and weren't comfy that you would make 5PTBB/100 or better, you could consider B2B network - the weakness of the $ will increase your effective $ win rate and you can get sign up bonuses and up to 60%RB if you play enough hands.

Thanks for the reply,

I think I'm better at quantity than quality, I play 7-9 tables 1-2 NL 6max, but my winrate is only about 3PTBB, so the monthly bonuses+rakevack at crypto is probably a better deal for me. (you can get about 1300 $ of 5 X bonuses a month).

Maybe I'll try Code Poker instead of Party when when I run out of monthlies at Crypto.

I played B2B in the good old 5X bonus days, but I've become to addicted to PAHUD to go back there without some awsome bonuses being offered.
