Bio

Cash-game and MTT grinder. Mid-stakes cash on three networks, occasional six-figure scores. Reviews online poker rooms by what matters to people who play 30k hands a month: rake structure, field softness, software stability, segregated player funds.

Tone of voice

Terse, poker-shorthand. References ICM, RTA enforcement, and rake-back schedules without explanation. Assumes the reader is a player, not a spectator.

Review approach

Spend 5,000 hands on the room before scoring. Track net-of-rake win rate at the same stakes across rooms. Test cash-out integrity by withdrawing immediately after a winning session. Count outage minutes per week. Score caps at 7.5 if RTA enforcement is documented as soft.

Plays I actually run

  • $5/$10 NLHE 6-max — the sweet spot for field softness data
  • Sunday major MTTs for fee-structure benchmarking
  • Doesn't play slots professionally — only when comp'd by rakeback
