now i've been reading some anti-noble sentiment in the last few days, and since i just recently opened an account there -- figured i'd give you guys my review. this might be long so if you don't care...don't read.

first off, depositing was really easy, and noble footed my neteller instacash fee for me -- so i made the minimum $20 deposit. the deal is 100% deposit bonus up to $500 (via TP's deal) and i really wasn't as interested in that deal as i had heard a few negative things about how hard the bonus was to clear... i was more concerned with the $50 TP promised. after i made my deposit i was immediatly greeted by online support with an extra $10 (+1 point).

i sat down at the .50/$1 with my whopping thirty bucks (yes thanks bankroll gurus, i was far under the limit here). first thing i noticed was the table setup obviously. it's pretty similar to party's (looks wise) but the software is definatly choppier. one thing i do like is there is a full hand history on the right side of the table as the hand goes along, that you can reference what happened earlier in the hand (sometimes after a long session this really helps). they also have your table stats (how many hands you raised, checked, called, reraised, won, lost, folded, etc in the current session). the software crashes a lot when you're trying to find a table (which can be really annoying) but once i get going in a table i havent had a single crashing issue.

after playing for a while i tried to figure out how to check my "crowns" i had (crowns are what give you the bonus -- every 125 crowns is $10 cleared -- one crown is given per hand where you make any contribution to the pot) and i actually have accumulated them very quickly, and cleared 125 crowns in about 5 hours. now obviously i only have to clear 250 crowns, so maybe for those who are looking to clear $500 it might be a touch more difficult. the worst thing about checking your crowns though, is you have to ask customer support everytime you want to know (and they get very testy when you ask them more than once in a day).

overall, the site is pretty sweet, and it's definatly worth the $80 in bonuses i'm getting for getting 250 'crowns' (TP bonus + 100% bonus + $10 on signup). you should definatly take a look at this site if you like to bonus whore.
