I got invited to a private online site called kings club. It's kind of like poker mavens I guess (never played there). The allure of this particular one is that they have mixed games! Software is actually great, however there is very little traffic and it's kind of an under the table thing. You definitely have to weigh the pros and cons here, but as far as I can tell, it seems like a legit operation. Here are some pros and cons, plus the games they are spread.
Pros:
-software is AWESOME....super smooth super easy to play. By far the best online software I have played since Full Tilt
-multitude of games available
-ability to have private tables
-players are expected to BEHAVE...no berating or acting like an imbecile. (thats a hard word to spell)
-no pros tolerated. Not sure how they police this, but since it's a private room, they can boot people if they are destroying a game. There are some very large stakes played here, I am told.
-Low rake....5% which I think is also capped. The guy that runs it can tell you what you pay in rake at any time as well. It's double this at Bovada.
CONS
-very light traffic
-There is a level of trust in a stranger required at these sites. Basically, if someone decides they are going to take your money, there isnt much you can do.
-It's a private site, so you can get booted if you like acting like an imbecile. two way street....
-there is a rake.
Games spread (that I am AWARE of):
triple draw: badugi, badeucey, badacey, 2-7
stud: 7 stud hi and hi/lo, archie, super stud, razz
holdem: reg and double board
omaha: reg, bigO, double boards, all the bells and whistles, plus DRAWMAHA
OFC: regular, 2-7, add a joker, progressive, etc
There are more...
They also have some other functions, like mandatory straddles, run it twice features, etc.
I will be looking to play LIMIT mixed games ($1.5/$3 stakes) on this site whenever the games come together. If you would like to check it out or would like to jump in reply in the thread and I will private message you. If we get enough players, I think we can have a private game and pre select the games that will be spread. I am not affiliated with them in any way, do not vouch for them (other than "seems legit"), and gain nothing by getting people to join, other than more players in the pool means more games I can play.
Also feel free to post up questions and I will do my best to answer them.
