On-Line Woes...
I don't know how many of you actually follow the on-line gaming industry; but about a month ago "Party Poker" broke off it's alliance with many of it's sister companies; including where I play(ed) "Empire Poker". Since, Empire has been sending out promotions up the wazoo, but it hasn't helped the fact that there are just not as many tables as there used to be there. It's actually hard to find a decent table to sit at that is mostly full and remains that way for an extended period of time longer than 20 minutes!

So, needless to say, I'm looking for another site. Any recommendations? What are your favorites? I personally prefer to play at the hold'em "micro" limit (.50/$1 or $1/$2) ring tables. Are there any sites in particular that are good for this level? Frequent promotions (i.e., 50% of deposit for raked hands) is also a bonus (no pun intended) as an easy source of income. :)

Please let me know and I just might use your bonus code to sign up! Thanks!

...Full Tilt Poker signed up through pokersourceonline.com

PSO has a bunch of extras for first time depositors. The best of which is a free full version of Poker Tracker software. It was very easy to clear the 200 Full Tilt Points I needed for the software and have started using it. It's got way more funtionality than I know what to do with it. One insite it's given me is that I'm losing money playing from the big blind, but making tons playing under the gun.

If you're already using Poker Tracker, they also have other bonuses to sign up with. FTP has your microlimits and even lower. $0.05/$0.10 is where I usually play. Even at that low of a limit, I had little difficuly clearing the FTP bonus (only needed one week, but they give you a month or two) and I should be able to clear FTP's 100% bonus well within their time limit (something like 4-6 months).

I'm not sure if other sites do this, but FTP gives out the bonus in 10% installments. I've already cleared the first 10%.

Well anyways, FTP is the first site I've played for real money on and am very happy with it. You can also try checking out ... I think it's called bonuswhores.com, they've got tons of bonus information and also site reviews.

and yes, I've heard the Party affiliates suck now, I've heard Empire refered to a rock garden quite a number of times.

It's even more fun that a known pro may stop by at your table and play for a bit. That's happened to me once, and others talk about playing with Howard Lederer or Jesus.

Bugsy's club is also fun, and imho, has the best interface.

I don't think Lederer would be stopping by the 5c/10c tables that I play at any time soon. LOL

but it's entertaining at times to watch them play

Actually, it's a promotional thing, and that's where I ran into Andy Bloch. I heard from someone else that Jesus had actually stopped by a play money game.

You can recognize the pros, their avatars resemble themselves and are not among the avatars you can select. The bases have a different color and the full name of the pro.

I recommend Absolute Poker. They have good tables, great endless reload bonuses, and you can usually find decent rakeback.
