HI,

Signed up through an affiliate to poker.co.uk but have yet to deposit- can anyone tell me how soft the games are?? I've only played the freerolls so far where the plays are often terrible(which is expected in a freeroll obv)

The freerolls are fun though as you dont get many freerolls on the net with less than 150 players nowadays.

I'm mainly a recreational MTT player but like to play a bit of cash also.

haha guess your correct- I signed up through a link and realised I do not get rakeback on it- is there anyway of getting rakeback through poker.co.uk??? I also signed up for paradise poker on the same network(for their 10th b'day celebrations) which again I have not used much and I get 30% rakeback there.

Hairydude: You can either deposit, and play with the big boys, or not and play freerolls, poker.co.uk is a fine site to play. If you decide to play, write to Matt (called "Gus Mango Fish")and a rakeback offer is there for the asking (I hope that I am not out of order here, Matt?)

I find the poker.co.uk software is easy to use and very stable, and there are always STTs ready to start at the levels I play (3-20euro) so I never have to wait. I cant comment on many other sites as I only play here and on sky poker (which I play when not at home since the interface is via internet explorer and no so no need to install software in the internet cafe/holiday computer).

Best thing about poker.co.uk is probably this forum (very friendly) + the owner (Matt Dale) seems like a decent honest bloke + when the inevitable losing streak hits you can normally find a freeroll to play in order to chill out for a while.
