what do people make of prima poker?

[noluckever67]

Hi
id like to know what peoples thoughts are on prima poker..ive played a lot but never ever do well yet i play on another platform at the sametime and always do pretty well..it seem son prima fish have an advantage because it ALWAYS rewards bad play.im writing this as an example..today 1 hand i pick up a pp 10 10 ..flo- comes 3c 10h 9s ..guy moves allin im thinking gee birthday time and even more amazing another guy calls too..cards are shown one guy has qq other has 6s 8s...can you believe i end up with the worst hand turn is a qs and river 4s giving the worst hand the flush and win..this happens continually on prima and ive decided to give it a bodyswerve from now on..yesterday i call an allin raise holding AA guy shows 2 6 os flop 2 2 6 6 7 ..i aint a bad loser in the least i just think PRIMA is worth avoiding if your a strong player id love to hear others thoughts..by the wy pokerstars thats another dodgy site well worth avoiding unless you got a massive bankroll you will lose consistently to the same garbage players.in my opinion only www.betfair.co.uk holds a decent poker room and well worth joining.

For the Prima Network be aware I didn´t started this thread...

Regardless if I am the biggest bitch when complaining from an operation the only site I am doing business with now days is Pokertime from Pirma Poker Network.

I really dislike the Microgaming poker software... it blows big time. I honestly enjoy more Tribeca´s software or the one that Pokerstars use.

How did I ended becoming a Prima Network slave??? They got me with their $10 promotion which they honored with no complian, their website is really solid and clear and they had a nice chat service.

What happened... I played with the $10 and didn´t proffit much. (I am a lousy poker player) Deposited like $50 and enjoyed a lot of their 5 seat turbo tournaments.

Something you have to admire from the Microgaming poker software is the variety they offer. They have tables for every type of player... from the small gambler to the biggest high roller. They have an amazing menu of single table and mulit table tournaments which I really like.

One thing the Prima Poker has which I adore are their daily $1000 free rolls... they allow up to 15k seats which blows... but it is a really nice tourney.

They think I dislike and hate about them is their CS... One of the most incompetent ones I have ever seen. Is just not worth it sending an email or chat. Their Chat service is so SO BAD that if you get answered by anyone you just feel like punching your monitor due to the moron on the other side.
Emails can take up to a week to be answered and always from a smartass not answering you question and giving you tons of stupid details.

I never received my invitational first free roll.. .but is ok.

Regarding bad beats, I guarantee you their random number generator is way better than the one at Tribeca... Play at Doyles room and check what I am saying.. very nice software, the hands you will see in this software are just out of the question.

Gotta go, Costa Rica is playing against Germany...

Lets put it this way. If i depended on Prima to be a winning player, I wouldnt be one.

I stopped playing on Prima ages ago. I had issues with the PC running at 100% cpu and slowing to a crawl.

Also the rake was calculated on the pot total that included uncalled bets. Dont know if thats still the case but I think its ripoff if they do.

i too have a tough time winning at Prima. I believe it has more Euros playing there so that tends to mean a lot more calling stations. Of course this can be profitable, but it can also be quite painful as it increases the number of suck-outs.

I mostly play sit n go tourneys. I once reported some players I thought were colluding on Prima. 32Red forwarded the info to Prima, but I never received any more feedback. This was disappointing as Pokerstars or Party will e-mail you a detailed analysis if you report possible collusion. At least Prima is very good about enforcing that players always stick with the same username if they switch between Prima skins.

I believe the CS is handled seperately for each skin. I play at 32Red on Prima and the customer service is very efficient.

I recently had a good experience with Prima Network.

got a $10 no deposit bonus at dreampoker, turned it into $80, deposited $20 and cashed out the entire $100 a couple of days later...


Just my 2 cents.

A couple years ago I started to play poker at Party Poker. I was clueless and discouraged.

Then I tried the $10 free deal at a Prima Site (Royal Vegas), and really learned how to play. I don't know if I ever deposited but I played exclusively there for a long time with many cashouts. No complaints ever.

Then I discovered bonuses and moved most of my play from Prima to Absolute Poker.

I never noticed anything strange about the randomness of any site (about a dozen different poker sites). Bad beats happen everywhere.

Definetly the best poker rooms on the net....

However I often play at Poker time because of their turbo 5 seat tourneys.. they are just outstanding...


Doyles I like, however their CS is awful, not as awful as Poker time, but their reps are just a bunch of %@@%.

Honestly Pokerstars is the place. AWESOME SOFTWARE AND SERVICE.

Also another one which I like a lot is igotpoker. Their gaming portal is quite nice and their cs is very good. They need some work, but they are heading the right direction.

I have always wanted to play at Alamo poker, but they won't let me play for real since I am a local...

if you like playing on Prima, why wouldn't you just play at 32Red instead of Pokertime? same players, much better CS...
