True Poker

I just started an account at True Poker, and got a 30% first deposit bonus for using Netteller. Apparently they have similar bonuses for Firepay et al, but it's not easy to find details. I was able to find a nice loose table AND have my good starters hold up a fair % of the time, hopefully I'm breaking out of the bad run I've been having the last few days.

What do you think of ? I thought the "reality" part of it was pretty cool, but it's too slow and I found the various characters kind of annoying. Still worth hitting for the deposit bonus, of course.

More importantly, did you sign up through my link???

I'm pretty sure I got the software from your link, but it's been a couple weeks, so sorry if you don't get credit. I do like the site so far, and the bells & whistles should only serve to draw more of the 'fun' players, which suits me just fine.

I did find the tournament lists a bit hard to read, and never could find the 'new player' (freeroll?) SnGs they're supposed to have (14 days from creation to play in one, then up to 3 more for 2 weeks after the first game). They also have $250 added tournaments with a $1 fee and 300 player max, which I like, though my first experience with that was a bit...frustrating, another Suckout Special wrecked me early.

Oh yeah, the software definately is a bit slow, there were times when I heard the vocal cues from the next player to act before my action went through, though not before my input fortunately.
