So you're more interested in Public Home Game and Online and less on poker chips collecting / procurement

Yes that's correct, noticed you mentioned a few sites in another thread. How has your experience been with those?

When / where did I mentioned it? I can’t recall it if they are a long time ago but I should reply based my current experience

The online platform that i currently using are Natural8 (aka GGpoker Asian version) u will require VPN to install them but no VPN is require to use them once installed

Same as every other online platform the rake is ridiculous high at cash stake, on average I get raked around 5.5-6.5 bb per 100 hands

Attached are some examples (actual numbers before and after rake)

Also online skill level is much higher in difficulty compared to live, for example NL10 Online is harder than a regular 1/1 1/2 non rake live game

Whereas on the tournament scene, the rake is more reasonable and the player pool at the micro buy in (below $10) are relatively easy to play with

I will say anything above $25 buyin tourney are much tougher and harder to ITM

Hopefully the above answer ur questions and also this is a site that primarily focus is trading and buying poker chips so u probably will get better luck with poker information elsewhere (like Reddit or 2+2)

Thanks so much for this information! Ah I see, in terms of deposits and withdrawals have you faced any issues as I see they require verification with a form of Identity, does this cause issues if you want to withdraw direct to your bank account? Or how do you go about your withdrawals?

You will need to verify your account before being able to do any withdrawal.

The process required a number of documents (which they will list in the verification process) and could take up a good 1-3 weeks if you didn't provide the correct documents.

I use I-banking for deposits and withdrawals
