Just wanted to see if any of you FCPers play at pokerroom.com? And what you guys think of the site?

[jlgosse]

More people probably played at powerplayer.com, a skin of pokerroom.The software is pretty terrible but it has some soft play and some nice features, I don't play there anymore though.

I play pokerroom.com.Well, I did. But I signed up to FullTilt to play in a FCP Tourney and I don't think i'll be going back.Only thing I liked about Pokerroom.com was the %s shown during a showdown. I don't like to have to think when i'm busy praying.

I just started playing there a few months ago and there seems to be alot of soft play especially in the SnGs.

Yeah that feature is awesome. I just downloaded fulltilt the other night and just watched a few tables. I will probably give it a try this weekend.

I usually play at UB and comparatively the games are very very soft at poker room. Unlike UB, you can limp in on poker rooms no limit games and see flops cheaply.

Ive played at pokerroom for almost 3 years now. I like it. Some games are very soft there. I actually just now switched to betonbet which is another skin of pokerroom because I can get a portion of my rake back (send me a message with your email if you want to find out how - I know SPAM) . . . but it's still the same tables.

I play there and it seems to me that the sng games are soft...but i take so many bad beats there. Is that just me ?

I've played at pokerroom for the past 7 months. I like the software and the layout of the tables, and the lower limit tables are ridiculously easy (especially with a little help from SSHE) . I'm looking to try another site though, so as soon as I clear the current player point bonus i'm working on, i'm going to be giving another webiste a go.

[rivers21]

What is SSHE?

Nevermind, I think he is referring to the book small stakes hold'em

Exactly. One of the greatest poker books of all time. It's more than paid for itself already from my profits in the .25-.50 limits. I strongly suggest buying it, espeically if you are trying to build a bankroll (like me).

Pokerroom is a good site to play at. The lower limits are rather easy pickings, and yeah, I've noticed a number of bad beats, but probably because there are so many chasers on the lower limits.

I like pokerroom because it is the only one that i can play with my mac though I actually play on a skin called betonbet.com because of the rakeback. I'd say the micro limits (.15-30. to .5-1) are soft enough. The low limits (1-2 to 3-6) are a little harder than average. The middling limits (5-10 to 10-20) are average. The higher limits barely exist. It's usually a couple of HU HE experts waiting around or one shorthanded game.IMO all the NL tables are soft all the way up to 6-6 or so.my handle is monk... and u can find me on the 5-10 and 10-20 LHE tables.

I remember my very first hand ever at pokerroom. In a SnG, very first hand I get dealt Aces, someone else gets dealt Kings, anyway, it ends up we're both all-in pre-flop, Aces wins and the other guy is taken out. He says "typical pokerroom bullshit."I didn't know what he meant, a couple months later I understood why pokerroom was famous for its' miracles :)Pokerroom was the first site I actively tried to make money on. On the lower limits (.25-.5 or .5-1) I built my bankroll through solid play, after 8 or so months I left for other sites and haven't been back yet, but the software enhancements they've put in the last few months make it look a lot nicer.
