Follow-up to my earlier Poker88 review since a few people DM'd asking about the technical side of grinding there. Quick brain-dump of what's working for me:
1. Rakeback through a proper broker gets you 27-35%. Don't sign up direct off the front page — you'll get zero.
2. Their client handles 6 tables cleanly on a 27" monitor. Beyond 8 tables you start missing time-bank warnings.
3. Peak fish traffic is 20:00-01:00 UK, and Sunday afternoon EU time.
4. HUD works with Hand2Note but not the latest HM3 build as of last week.
5. Deposit-match bonuses release at ~10% of rake — worth clearing if you play 20+ hours a week.
Happy to answer questions if anyone's considering moving over from Stars/GG.
