Best site for short stacking experiment?

Postby excession » Sat Jul 28, 2007 12:20 pm

I was looking for a site with a lot of traffic, small tables and good bonus/RB for a short stacking experiment I intend to run (at $100 NL 6 max). I would like to play 8-9 tables on one monitor so my usual Prima is not an option (and it doesn't quite have the traffic as you if you rathole at 40BB you need 15-20 tables to play a 2 hour session by the looks of it)

Am I right in thinking the options here are
Party (but no RB and only occasional bonus)
Stars (no RB, occasional bonus, FPP points)
FTP - I only have an observer account here (have never deposited cash) - any decent RB/Bonus combo possible?

But the one that looks best (as it's full of Eurodonks) is iPoker - there are some ok sign-up bonuses available at BW, but I'm sure I've heard rumours of decent RB on top of these - can anyone point me in the right direction please? Thanx

You want the most aggressive site there is (preflop I mean).

OK I have checked out various sites and the answer is iPoker

iPoker sites:

Have a lot of traffic at their 6 and 8 handed tables (I think 4th busiest on the Net and they peak at Euro times which is great for me)
Have a standard buy-in for 20BB and rebuy up to that level (so it's fast to open buy-in to new tables and top-up) (also the standard 20BB gives you nice cover as there are a lot of short stacked players who clearly have no clue)
Have a nice filter based wait list so you can get replacement tables of exactly the sort you need quickly (I didn't have to wait for more than 10 seconds for any new table last night)
WILL ALLOW YOU TO RATHOLE AND GO BACK TO THE TABLE (so tables aren't removed from your short-stacking pool as you double up and leave them - so you never run out of tables - that said I have only visited the same tables 3 times in the past 2 hours play as there are so many tables open anyway)
Several sites have good deposit bonuses and FPP based RB...
The players are Euro-donks (in theory this doesn't matter so much when you are short-stacking but in practice parting fools from their money is always easier than parting sharks from theirs)
Have a mini-table view that auto-tiles when you pull up new tables (9 tables per 1600x1200 screen)
Are PT compatible and you can run GT+ with small fonts as a HUD on their mini-view tables
Works with Poker EV so you can replay your best and worst decisions at the end of the session (btw Poker EV is 'the bomb' for short stackers!)
Several sites will let you play up to 16 tables - if you are multi-monitored, starcraft playing, fast reaction time youngster and 8-9 tables just won't do...
They do now have 4 color decks

The downsides:
Your cards are displayed pretty small in the mini-view tables - OK on a 20" monitor but I was squinting a bit on the 17" laptop last night - I may need to find a mod for bigger mini-view cards..
Of course iPoker isn't available to US players...

Poker is silly.

It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.

Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.

If you know where to go, the BetFred RB deal is the best iPoker available - works out at ~45% RB per month and the bonuses clear at the faster iPoker rate of 50:1. If you're eligible ie haven't already cleared their signup, send me a PM and I'll give you the contact details.

Otherwise, it depends how many hands/month you play, as Loyalty Points (which determine you next month's bonus) vary from site to site. BW has the low-down on most of the iPoker sites, though NoIQ is also worth checking out.
