Some of the players here have FORGOTTEN more than you will EVER know about poker, not to mention that a lot of these guys have made more in one day playing poker than you will ever make playing poker. Show some respect asshat.

Here's the deal...I apologize if I came off wrong but I'm just wondering about people's experiences, not looking for advice.

I have made 10K in the last year playing online poker. I typically make about 1K a month or so playing at various sites. I have played at Royal Vegas, Victory Poker, Gamesgrid, Hollywood Poker, Popular Poker, and Titan Poker...those are the ones I remember offhand. However, I am -1500 or so this month and am looking for a change in scenery. I was just looking for what people have seen/observed from personnal experience. I am very aware of all of the websites that rate online poker rooms, but like I said, I'm looking for personnal experiences with poker rooms.

Like I said, my apologies if I offend, but I am a member of a couple of different forums that have people offering "free" advice and I'm not looking for that.

Any other responses would be appreciated.

This forum isnt offering "free advice".

Its a group of poker players, who make money playing the game, and we all help each other out, and when newbies come along we try and improve their game till they can post like we do. I say "we", i mean... you know what i mean guys.

My advice - dont insult a forum if you looking for advice.

And the intertops bonus is pretty damn good, plus theres $22 at stars as well on it if you do this within 3 days. Apart from that bet365s is ok, and hollywood, and also all the party bonuses they have.

Apart from that, i love how you say youve won $10k, and make $1k per month, then your down $1,500 this month. Playing with the "$500" bankroll that you do, thats a big swing for that roll.

I seem to be in the minority here, but I don't really think this guy was out of line. Say his bankroll is $10k. Could he not have $500 that he'd like to deposit somewhere? I don't have any problem with him asking that. I also think the "You are playing over our bankroll" posts are reasonable, untl he explained his situation... but there's no need to get nasty after that. I don't think he was insulting this forum at all.

To the original poster: You've played at a bunch of smal Mom and Pop type sites. It's time for you to open accounts at Party, Stars, Full Tilt, UB, etc. Seriously, just work your way down this list (bonus codes included):

Oh, and BTW (to RR)... I haven't forgotten anything about poker.

Thanks for the info those that have replied.
Like I said, my apologies if I offended. I have $500 that I'm plainning on moving to a new site...my bankroll is not $500!!! I typically play 1/2 sometimes 2/4 NL at 3 different sites trying to clear bonuses. I normally play 4- 6 tables at a time.
I am a member of 3 forum sites (this being the 3rd). I don't post all that often, but I do enjoy reading about various sites, bad beats, etc. One of my pet peeves about poker forums is all the people offering advice (when people aren't looking for it). Again, when people write in that I shouldn't be playing 1/2 NL and that I'm over my head, it offends me. Obviously being new here, you guys seem like a knowledgable, close-knit group.

No need to be offended. The advice people are offered here (despite the misunderstanding in this thread) is in their best interests. The people being given the advice can choose to ignore it if they like, but at least the good advice is there for anyone else reading along too, not just the original poster. And that........... makes this forum a better place.

Default i think this guy was rude

For what its worth, I think this guy was rude . The way he attacked someone just trying to help is way uncool. Even if he didnt ask for advice, (which he did though) Eveyone here wants to win money playing poker and the best way to max the profit is by talking with others and getting their input to better your game. If this guy cant handle it oh well. just my 2 cents ( make it my one cent just took a bad beat!!!)
