Starting back

[tipp86]

I am considering starting back playing. What are the best sites to play on these days? What are rakeback deals like?

Im not sure I will even manage to get back in to the swing of things but I was thinking of starting at 5nl and moving up.

save yourself the hours playing that

What would you suggest? Not even bother anymore? As a breakeven/small winner at 50nl id imagine id need to go that low. I guess MTTs would be the easoest money now but I despise having to commit the hours that are needed to run deep in big fields.

Jesus, why?!

Would suggest taking a tilt at 10 nl or 20 nl zoom/speed poker, @ the weekends to see where your game is vs those player pools.

Just couldnt think of anything worse to do grinding the micros. I play very little these days myself. Turbos mostly when i do.

Some people actually enjoy playing poker..!

Tipp I'd recommend 20 or 25nl as a starting point. Deposit 500 or 600 hundred, don't be such a baby.

I just can't see grinding low stakes NL cash as profitable/enjoyable. Cash games are exceptionally tough now to even break even in.

I would say take some of the cash and buy a copy of PT4 if you don't have one, subscribe to Runitonce for 10$ a month and watch the essential vids. Grind low/mid stakes tourneys on eurosites from there.

Alternatively if you want to grind cash, what about learning some of the mixed games, I would imagine that could be quite interesting.

Makes you wonder where poker is going when someone asks where best place/ games to play and ppl react with shock/horror that you could actually be a winning player playing cash and mtts are such a minus ev investment.

The replies of go here/there take 30% RB deal. play Boyles/PPP specials, TAG game cant lose, BRM etc etc advice are just an echo now of times gone by

Bubble has bust I feel and dealers gone home

it really depends on what your expectations are before hand,if you think you can deposit 50 and run it up to 100k im afraid those days are probably gone.
but if u just want some entertainment/chance of a bink then go for it
