everest poker

so ive been hanging around the rio and playing some live cash and see everest poker everywhere.

What are the thoughts of people that have played there?

i am curious. what rakeback is like and stuff and the softness of the games

isnt it non usa

how can that be.... really? :[ why are they advertising in WSOP then

it´s non usa sry guys
it´s mainly a french poker site, my thoughts:its soft as hell. didnt play there, cause the software tilts me. it´s way slower as ps or ftp.

its full of bumhunters and shortstackers

and no rakeback

and software sucks

I rather recommend Ipoker if u are non USA

you can play from the USA but you cannot register if you are an american. I played there while at Vegas, np.

They advertise because the WSOP are getting more and more coverage in Europe, and they also want to be in the first row if poker becomes OK again in USA.

It used to be by far the nicest site out there, but now it's so-so. You get mad fishs that you don't get anywhere else, crazy french and italians retards that are by far the stupidest persons i've ever seen.

But the games over 1-2 are pretty nitty except for that casual fish now, it's full of bad nit regs now.

Rakeback is approx 25% (loyalty program, not rakeback) you can get an extra 15% on the side, but it's not legal.


Btw, I've played there 3 years and I can tell you the administration of Everest is as brain dead as the french and italians I talked to you about a few lines back. They are the worst, they are so stupid and so fucking clueless of how to run a poker site, it will make you life tilt. It used to be 10bb minimum buy-ins, EVERYBODY been complaining for 3 years about it, and they changed it about 2 months ago, saying that they have listened to the community! Yeah right, they are so stupid, software has like 3-4 big glitchs and everybody been complaining for ever and each time you tell them, they say : Nice, first time we hear about it, we will be working on it! That was 18 months ago.

Also, my friend is VIP there, and he wanted to register for 6 WSOP Events for 10k total, he asked Everest 2 months prior to the WSOP and they said, yes we will register you to all of them and it's cool you can pay with your Everest monies and everything. They confirmed it was going to be done without any worries.

Arriving in Vegas he emails them to make sure everything is ok and they say : Sorry we will not be able to register you to any Events, we apologize.

he told them he will never play there again and Everest didn't compensate him with anything or do anything about it. He's a 2-4 regular playing 60k hands per month

weird that they are blowing all the advertising money

Bigger and more fish on Ipoker than Everest imo

i have 20% rakeback there ._ . it's european so full of frenchies <3 pretty fish XD

you can rebuy after a hand ( in which you lost ) just for couple seconds ( i mean you can click rebuy in precisely like 3 seconds when chips went to a winner ) and then you have to wait till next hand to rebuy

what about 1/2 and 2/4?

frankly, it's harder than FTP nowadays.
(lots of tables are 6 regs with one or two not that good, but still not to be considered as fish).
There are a lot of Tagfishes-breakevenish players from netherlands, but I don't
think you can make that much money out of them...

sounds like ftp micros

sounds like lex wants everyone to stay away from his everest poker 5/10 fish

Well he is right, same people playing 5-10 on Everest as 25-50 same site.

and that never happens on ftp / stars?

Oh, and I forgot to mention, Everest is rigged:

i dont really see how everest could be tougher than stars or ftp

sick graph

lots of tables filled only with regs of NL400 - NL2000, like Zopopop, Fatima, etc...
and you're not making that much money with only regulars at the tables.
I never seen that on FTP NL 400 (dunno about Stars)

Poker is about eating shit, and I'm pretty good at taking bad beats/setup
One day I'll win all those stupid all-ins, and I'll be rich

The graph improved a lot since last bump



and in blinds (cause I moved down to NL200 and so the graph is a mix of 200 and 400):





cant complain, cause life is good, but frankly, poker gods, now you can find another victim, plz

well i mean 2/4 on stars is pretty damn soft imo (as i would imagine it is across other sites) and 3/6 has its fair share of fish as well but 5/10+ seems pretty fucking tough

there seems to be a lot of really really good regulars at those stakes

Ty for the explanation.
Do you usually see regs of 10/20 playing 2/4 on stars ?

lol @ everest being thougher than stars, like somebody is going to buy that shit.

When was the last time you played at Everest ? I know that games used to be sick soft with lots of monkeys,
now you have to outplay nitty tagfishes, which is clearly not the same game.
Frankly NL400 is easier on Tilt than on Everest those days. Dunno for stars.
Maybe you prefer playing against tagfishes, but imho, my winrate decreases a lot when tables
don't offer any droolers to milk, and I think this is a general fact true for the whole poker
community

Tag fishes are dead money while they might not spew you can just play perfect postflop and valuebet them to death or make easy strong folds.

On stars the average table will be pretty much like:

Seat1: WizardofAhs (20bb rat holer)
Seat2: redargoe
Seat3: 20buckSpin
Seat4: You
Seat5: 0Human0
Seat6: JulyShort (20bb rat holer)


So yeah, id really like to play against tag fishes on 1knl.

I agree with you, and that's why I make money out of them
But I still win far less money than when there were 1 or 2 tagfishes and 3/4 droolers like 1 year ago.

On stars the average table will be pretty much like: Seat1: WizardofAhs (20bb rat holer) Seat2: redargoe Seat3: 20buckSpin Seat4: You Seat5: 0Human0 Seat6: JulyShort (20bb rat holer) So yeah, id really like to play against tag fishes on 1knl.

I dont know a lot about stars as I said earlier, never really played on this site.
But how the hell can you play at a table with 2 ratholers ?????????
Noone starts 50bb games on Stars ?
Personnally i always start them on Everest and they fill very fast.
