Hi there,
I used to play micro stakes HUSNG a few years back, before life got in the way, and want to start again. Not necessarily to make my fortune but have a good crack at it and see if I can get better at something difficult. Back in 2012 people were saying HUSNG was dead, I asked somebody from a forum I used to frequent (tagpoker.co.uk - forum now dead) recently and he said "still alive, but dead in a few years". I hear Spin and Gos have killed some of the action but I guess we all have to adapt.
I've only played about 25 games since my comeback as I've been very busy sorting a lot of things in my life out and Christmas etc. but what happened was this - I got back into playing without looking at any theory, thought I was doing okay, then got into some tricky spots with tricky players and went back to studying - I have been looking at all my old notes, making sense of them, watching the videos from this site, seeing what adjustments I need to make to my game coming back after three years, hoping to kick in in the new year and actually get in some volume... rather than what I did before which is play about 300 games because I spent all my time discussing theory on forums!
But now I see this unfortunate situation with Poker Stars/Amaya and I think - my roll is only about $100, I can afford to boycott PS for the greater good. So, I intend to do that at the start of 2016, but who can recommend a decent site to play micro stakes turbos on?
Thanks
888 Poker is really soft.
Hi.
Cheers. More after regular (as in not sitting for ages, not the speed) games than soft opponents though. Do you still think 888 is my best bet?
Taffic is not the same as on ps but still pretty good.
Hi.
Cheers
I'm on this exact same situation... Comeback, micros, have played for some time a few years ago, etc. Now I want to play again and put some volume. I remember that in 2010 poker sites like 888, Everest and Party Poker were full of "fish" when compared to PS and FT. Is this still the case?
What is the rake on 7$-15$ turbos and hypers at 888?
On PS it is about 2% for hypers and 4% for turbos.
Rake in HU Hyper Turbos is 4% and in Turbo it is 4.8%
But the players are really bad, which makes up for a lot. You have some decent players on the lowers level, but most of them are just playing strategy X.
Hi.
Thank you!
I am thinking about finding another site than PS for a while and I might try 888. I have mainly been playing 7$ turbos with few a 15$ the last couple of months with good results. Lately I have tried to start two tabling to increase hourly WR, but I would rather try to move up in stakes aggressively one-tabling and focus on playing my best and improving.
