Poker Site Reviews and Rakeback

Titan Poker is part of the iPoker Network, which is the 4th largest poker network around and is where I play most of my poker. Be aware that bonus clearing takes a long time and other iPoker skins may have better offers. The bad part about the software is that there are only two sizes of tables available, but you can play 16 tables at once easily with the mini-view. -mrbreaker

Player's Only is part of Cake Poker Network and therefore offers the same benefits as other Cake Skins. Grinderschool is able to offer the highest rake back % on any Cake Skin at Player's Only and we recommend signing up at Player's Only if you already have an account on the Cake Network without Rakeback. You'll also be eligable for a new first-time deposit bonus.

Ultimate Bet and Absolute have recently merged and created the Cereus Network. This leads to more cash game availability while maintaining a decent amount of fish available to the United States market. You are allowed to have both an Absolute and Ultimate Bet account so if you have one without rakeback you should definitely switch to one with rake back.

Absolute Poker has recently just joined the Cereus Network and hosts some of the fishiest players on the internet available to United States Players. Since the merging with Cereus, table selection has improved and the regulars still avoid the network because of previous problems (incorrectly). The games they do have, however, are excellent including MTTs and SNGs.

Cake Poker is an unremarkable site with limited availability of cash games outside of No-Limit Hold'Em micro through medium stakes. SnG and tourney availability is fair from micro through medium stakes. Traffic from the sportsbetting and casino skins helps to keep the fish factor slightly above average. -redlotus

The games at Pokerroom are good with great selection and a trustworthy site. If you don’t live in the U.S., you should definitely check out PokerRoom for a long term site.

Europoker and PokerRoom share the same player base so the reviews will be the same. The software is poor for Europoker though because they recommend the Java version over the downloadable one.

Even though it allows U.S. players, True Poker gets little traffic. True Poker does offer Rakeback and for low-stake players there are enough tables to get some action.

With low cash game availability and no U.S players, the play at Ladbrokes is a bit mixed. The lack of U.S. players means that the players there are probably not good as other sites. If you’re outside the U.S. you have no reason though to not check it out.

G2G Poker has limited game selection but the games they do have are full of bad players. The software is pretty good and the site could take off in the future.

Poker Plex belongs to the growing iPoker network, which might become rather large since many Ongame sites have recently moved to iPoker. Sng’s and Mtt’s are quite soft and there’s a lot of bad players with lots of tables going. One downside is that the tables can only be re-sized to small or big and nothing in between. Overall it’s decent place to play. -Piratos14

Red Kings Poker offers lots of cash tables at all levels. Most tables are full, so a lot of action at all levels, however I’ve noticed that a majority of the stacks aren’t full buyins. I disliked the software; it’s fairly difficult to get used to, but if you can get comfortable there it’s probably a profitable site to play on. -PocketFrog

Lucky Ace Poker is on the same network as Pacific and therefor has a lot of the same features. The only thing that can be said is that I have had some better help from support at Luckyace than at Pacific. -Trickstar

Pacific Poker is Without a doubt one of the fishiest sites on the net; a lot of casino spill over makes the play really soft. The traffic isn't very high when you get over micro-stakes but their bonus is easy to clear even at the lowest limits.The software client is pretty fast and has been through some major facelifts, making Pacific Poker a good place to play. -Trickstar
