Pokeroom vs. Partypoker

[MAX]

I am thinking about opening a pokeroom acount to take advantage of their bonus (They allow it to be cleared through SNGS). I have heard that the customer support is bad, disconnects occur more frequently, and multi tabling is tougher. For those familiar with Pokeroom:
How long do the SnGs take?
Is the competition as fishy as PP?
Any problem multi tabling?
Personal experiences or advice?

I play the 22s.
Thanks, Max

There's a separate forum called "Online Poker Rooms" for stuff like this, dude (or dudette - you could be Maxine)

No great shakes like, but i expect this will be moved there soon!

in answer to your question - i dunno, pokerroom is ugly and horrible and i've never used it.

- silent, how can you rate pokeroom so horrible if you've never used it?

ok, max, to answer your question:

I have been playing on pokerroom for over a year now and also play on hollywood poker. The two sites share the same server so they are very similar. I think that other pokerroom is tied for best looking site with full tilt.

1. The sitngo's take at least 35 mins up to an hour, but I would say on average they take 45-50 min. You are usually down to 7 or 8 after 10 minutes.

2. Competition is just abuot fishy as PP, fish push in with tp shitty kicker, will call 300% of the pot with flush draw (as in overbetting with tptk they will still call), easy to read, etc.

3. Mutli tabling used to be no problem, b/c you could pick your seat and arrange the tables so you could see all hands, but now you cannot pick your seat, are placed randomly, and it is semi-difficult to see all your spots. if that is a problem for you, it is annoying.

4. Pokerroom/HP are the best sites to play for SNG and have the best payouts for multitiables. sun through wed there are 20G guaranteed rebuy tournies with 20+2, fri is 20+2 with 40g guarenteed, and saturday is 50g guarenteed with 30+3. Every weekday at 2 there is a 5g guar. 5:.50 and a 10g guar. at 12:00 with 20+2.

Hope that helps, any other questions let the site know.

Silent- this is the SNG forum and that's what I care about specifically-- experiences playing SnGs at Pokeroom.

And thank you for pointing me to the other forum. I am sure I will find some good stuff there.

I play(ed) at pokerroom alot, but have gotten annoyed at them lately. They changed the blind levels to 8 min, so that they essentially become almost turbo games..also the site crashes pretty regularly..I am playing for now at Bodog, and I like it there alot better so far! There are plenty of fish/donks at pokeroom though- it is true! for what its worth..

I don't agree that they have become turbo games. I've been there for a little over a week (long enough to have a taste of the old 10 hand blinds vs the new 8 min blinds). I like it for the fact that the earlier blinds that you usually sit on your hands for go by faster. Then when the blinds reach 25/50 or 50/100 you can start to go to work. The fish still piss their stacks away. I HATE turbo games. These games play very nicely I find.

The $10 games there are soft. I've played 3 20's so far with 2 suckouts against for 6th place both times and a 3rd.

pokerroom is the fishiest site on the web
There initial bonus is ok but after that there is nothing.
Id recomend every site other than this even if bonuses can be cleared through sng

I almost exclusively play pokerroom. At first I was pissed off by the new 8 minute blind structure, but I actually think it's way better now. The blinds jump quickly at first because of that, but because they stay at 8 minutes even late in the tourney, it's almost annoying how long it takes for the blinds to go up when you've built a big stack and are trying to hurt the little stacks.

The bonuses are much better and pretty easy to earn. PokerStars is annoying because you can only use points to buy worthless crap at their store. At Pokerroom you can get cashback.
