• good rakeback deal at blackchippoker

Very bad news today and all of you already read about it. Non US players should try to withdraw asap from Full Tilt Poker, Absolute Poker, Pokerstars and Ultimate Bet. They have a good chance that (especially small) withdraws will be accepted. US players have to hope that they can login but it’s unlikely that a cashout will work out. Even player to player transfers don’t work at the moment.

We wish you all the best with your withdrawal. If you need help or a new place to stay please email us: info[at]top-rakeback.net (or Skype: Top-Rakeback)
We’re able to help US players in this tough situation so don’t hesitate to contact us.

The team of Top-Rakeback consists of (semi) professional poker players that have been looking for the best rakeback deals to get compensated while playing. After some time we found exclusive rakeback deals and think that we should not be the only one that profit from these deals. So we decided to launch a website where we hand these deals to other players.
It’s no secret. The games are getting tougher and it’s hard to get an edge. You can’t simply focus on your game and don’t pay attention to the thousands of dollars you pay rake every month! Suppose you make 5k in rake each month and get like 20 % compensation and you earn 2k while playing. You make 3k (your winnings + rakeback). But if you have a 50 % rakeback deal you make 4,5k every month. This is 50 % more! This simple calculation shows how important rakeback is for your overall earnings.

If you’re looking for good rakeback deals you should not stick with the big boys like PokerStars and Full Tilt. Sure, these two sites have huge traffic and a good reputation but they suck in terms of rakeback. The best option is to go with the bigger networks. At networks, you have skins that compete with each other. They fight for the best compensation plans for players and also offer solid rakeback, especially iPoker and Ongame. You should exploit this situation and get the best deal that you can.

Obviously the best deal in terms of % is not automatically the best choice. You should only go with big brands and skins with a good reputation. Not every skin at iPoker and Ongame can be recommended! The best rakeback deal is useless when the skin goes offline and you have to fight to get your money back.

We offer deals for various networks and work only with skins with a good reputation and size. We don’t want to recommend any shady skins to our players where you don’t know if this skin is still alive in two months.

So here’s a quick overview of our rakeback deals. Our best rakeback deal for high raking players ist Betsafe cashback for the Ongame network. Also very good for players that create some four figure rake is Entraction rakeback at 24hPoker. iPoker Rakeback isn’t easy nowadays but we have some good rakeback offers even though the rakeback policies in this network are very strict. It’s still possible to get a good VIP cashback deal at iPoker.

We also made lists of poker skins for several networks and also created extensive Pokertracker guidelines that help you with the most common problems that occur while using Pokertracker.

However, 24h Poker has an incredibly good rakeback offer and here we explain how it looks like. The offer is pretty comparable to our NoiQ Rakeback deal. So it’s more about the brand you prefer rather than the percentage you can get at 24h Poker or NoiQ.

30 % flat Rakeback

This is the standard Entraction rakeback offer. 30 % flat rakeback, that means without minimum requirements. So you can only generate 5 Euro in rake and you will earn 1,5 Euro in rakeback. And it does not matter if you rake 5000 Euro or more. It’s still 30 % and in this case 1500 Euro in rakeback.
The rakeback is paid directly in your account on the 1. and 15. every month.

100 % up to 500 Euro Deposit bonus

This is a standard great deposit bonus that is not deducted from rakeback in any ways! So you will get this bonus on top of the 30 % in rakeback.

Rake Race – 180k in December

24h Poker is popular for sick rake races. They offer a 180k rake race in December and if you’re making some solid rake you will finish in the prize rankings. On average this rake race brings roughly about 15 – 20 % in rakeback.
Take a look at the standings through this link

Entraction network promotions

You will take part at these promotions automatically at 24h Poker.
Just take a look at it: Entraction Promotions

Overall you will receive solid rakeback every month at 24h Poker. 24h Poker is definitely one of the best places to enjoy Entraction rakeback.

Frequently Asked Questions about Entraction Rakeback

How will the future of Entraction look like?
We already posted an article about Entraction’s future here: Future of Entraction. This is based on the assumption that there will be more (iPoker) skins that will join the Entraction network soon. After NoiQ Poker and Victor Chandler, there’s a good chance that especially iPoker skins are no longer happy where they are and will move to Entraction.
Regardless of that: Entraction is one of the few networks – if not the only one – that enjoyed consistend growth over years! Some networks are growing big in one year and decrease their traffic in another year. And Entraction showed that they can be innovative and are never lazy (like iPoker sometimes seems to be).

How will the new Entraction Loyalty Program look like?
We know that Entraction is working on a new VIP Loyalty Program but we don’t know how it will look like. They say that it’s something new and innovative. Well, I did not know that there’s anything you can do different than Ongame or iPoker to be honest. But we will see. Of course we will publish any news regarding the new Entraction Loyalty Program here.

Will it be possible to change your seat at Entraction soon?
One major flaw in the Entraction poker software is that you can’t change your seat. That means you can’t put your player in your favourite position. You have to play where you join the table and not on the right, left, bottom, top or wherever you want. Entraction is aware of this and according to our information this will be fixed within the next 6 months. We hope the best.

What about the players in the Entraction network?
There’s no common opinion on this. Some player think that the network is extremly nitty and full of grinders. Others say that they find the best tables there. In my opinion, NL HE 6-max tables have become very tight and are full of regulars but tournaments or PLO cashgames are still very juicy. There you will definitely find a big proportion of Maniacs and fish.

What about Entraction’s traffic?
Entraction is one of the few networks that showed consistent growth over the last few years. But that does not mean that the traffic is comparable to Ongame or iPoker. That’s not the case and you will find way less player at Entraction. It’s more comparable to Microgaming, Everest and IPN. So if you played at one of these networks, you know what to expect from Entraction. In my opinion, the Entraction traffic for PLO and NL HE Cashgames for NL100 or lower is pretty good and you will find several good tables in the evening. I don’t like the tournament traffic and for higher Cashgames you can’t be that selective.

• rakeback enet

The Entraction network and the whole Entraction team has something that is really tremendous. They always showed consistend growth and they managed any network issues like under the table rakeback, cannibalizing skins etc. very well. They have no problems at all. iPoker is going after such skins and affiliates. They have to penalize their skins when the skin shows more winners than losers in one month. This is really bad for the whole network. Skins can’t focus on marketing activities and think about how to bring new players to the site. They have to calculate if they will survive the next month when they get a fine. That’s not the direction a poker network should go to. Also is ipoker gotten very, very tight. It’s hard to find solid games there. The fishes are gone and I doubt that they will ever come back. They managed to create one of the worst softwares in the industry. They were not able to improve considerably. Entraction did. Entraction always had a great software that was fast, clean and perfect to multitable. Entraction also has no fines for skins whose players win too much. Entraction also has no issues with under the table rakeback because their skins can compete through 30 % rakeback (which is the official maximum Entraction rakeback), bonuses and rake races.

NoiQ poker for example offers an Entraction rakeback deal up to 70 % in rakeback or more. Just by using the available and legal offers (30 % rakeback + bonuses) and pay two rake races on top. This is a hell of a deal and perfectly legal. Please find such a deal at ipoker and let us know!

So what will happen to Entraction? We all know that Ongame and PartyPoker will merge next spring. There will be one network that consists of PartyPoker and Ongame players. Obviously, this will be huge and is a competition for Full Tilt at least. Of course they can’t reach Pokerstars but Full Tilt is a long term goal they could reach especially when the software improves. The major reason why so many players avoid Ongame is their junky software. So even more players will switch to this new network.

So here’s what I think: After the move from iPoker to Entraction, VCPoker will boost the Entraction traffic considerably and make it at least the fourth largest network behind Ongame, iPoker and Cereus. They will leave Boss Media (IPN) behind and also Cereus when a couple of other ipoker skins also switch to Entraction. This is highly likely because a lot of ipoker skins aren’t happy how ipoker treats them (fines, etc.). So in long term, Entraction has the potential to become the second largest network behind Ongame/Party. Ongame and Party can’t be reached of course. A lot of players will switch from iPoker to Ongame/Party if they use PartPoker’s software. So this will make Entraction the second biggest network for sure and ipoker has some issues.

Obviously, this is just an estimate. I really hope that Entraction will make it because they deserved it.

The poker product of Victor Chandler, VCPoker is moving from iPoker to Entraction in December. We have been working with VCPoker for more than one year now and our players are really glad to have a deal at VCPoker. But Entraction is not the first choice for most of the players so some are already looking for an alternative ipoker deal. We’d like to answer a few questions and make it as short as possible.

Is my bankroll safe?

Yes, there won’t be any bankroll issues. VCPoker is just moving and your bankroll will also be available when they switched the networks.

What will happen to my rakeback deal?

VCPoker promised that every player that have a solid cashback deal at VCPoker now, will also have a deal that is at least as good as the current one. We will also continue to work with VCPoker and will offer an Entraction rakeback deal at VCPoker. Please contact us using the form below if you’re interested.

I want to stay at iPoker!

Table Ninja is a powerful piece of software which allows you to automate repetitive poker tasks on Pokerstars and Full Tilt, and thus multi-table much better, faster, and smoother. It works with all tournaments, all sit-and-goes, and all cash games.

The Benefits of Table Ninja to you as a grinder

Table Ninja has many benefits. I am going to list some of the real gems which I think make the software a very important addition to your game.

1. Automatically clicks time bank and automatically sits you back in. This means you will never lose ground in a tournament by sitting out without noticing. Often a problem for heavy multi-tablers.

2. Automatic SNG opener. Automatically buys you in to however many tables you want for a set buy-in. You can set it to keep buying you in to maintain a set level of multi-tabling. ie as you bust from 1 SNG it will buy you into another. You can set it to finish doing this after a set length of time or after a set number of tournaments. This makes session planning/running much easier and you dont need to worry finding and starting new tournaments within the session. You can just concentrate on your game.

3. Automatically seats you and buys you in to cash games and clicks wait for big blind. Handles waiting lists. Great for getting multiple table sessions underway.

4. Default bet amounts entered in the bet box in set situations. For example if you like to c-bet 60% of the pot following a pre-flop raise then you can set Table Ninja to automatically enter that amount (rounded to either a 1SB or 1BB if you wish) into the bet box. So you can simply click either that bet or the check button. The bet sizes can be based on the street, the blind level, or the situation, so the feature is very accomodating.

5. Displays stack size in Big Blinds. When you have a lot of SNGs going sometimes you have literally seconds or milli-seconds to make decisions. Your dont really have time to fully weigh up every situation. The BB display makes it easier to assess your action very quickly.

6. Hot keys for Bet, Call, Check, Fold (eg assign them to A, S, D, F or any key of your choice.). Also a Hot key for fold in advance. What these enable you to do, in combination with the above is to sit there justing click A,S,D,F as the tables pop up. For example, clicking F,F,F,F,F,B. You have folded all hands but then bet because your default bet amount is already entered for you. This makes multi-tabling much easier.

Installation Steps

1. Download the software
2. Choose Language
3. Select Table Layout (eg tile, stack, overlapping, custom, etc)
4. Click Start Table Ninja
5. You will see a series of tabs accross the top of the Table Ninja client. Have a quick look at the set-up tab to check your theme etc have been detected correctly.
6. Click on the other tabs setting up controls and features how you would like. We will talk more about those tabs in the next section.

How to set up and use Table Ninja

1. Action Hotkeys tab:

This tab covers the main actions you can perform by pressing single keys on your keyboard. To set the hotkeys up click in a box and press the key you want to assign to that action.

2. Table Control Tab:

The software frames the target table in red (you can change it to a different color if you wish). That is the table on which your hotkey actions will take affect. Tables where it is your turn to act are framed in green. This makes them easy to see via cascade or tiling.

One of the settings under this tab is Table Under Mouse mode. This setting is where the red framed table will always be the one under your mouse. Useful for tiling mainly. If you combine it with the Bring to foreground checkbox then using it for cascading is also fine. If you prefer you can also set it so the table in the foreground is always the active table. So set them to pop up (steal focus) when action is required, and then you can use the Table in Foreground mode. That then will get things working properly for stacked tables.

The First in Line hotkey is a pretty useful one to assign. It will automatically take you to the table which has been waiting the longest.

Set Table Aside hotkey. Will move the table to a pre-chosen location. Useful for hands which need a little more attention or thought. eg move them out of your stack or cascade. You can set up up to 4 different location hotkeys for that. I suggest something like 1,2,3,4. Pressing that hotkey a second time will move the table back to the stack or cascade.

Automated table layouts via Hotkeys – You can set single keys to switch between Tiling, Cascade, and Stacking.

3. Pot Betting tab

Useful for default bet sizes. These bets get entered into the bet box ready for you to simply act upon if you wish. The sort of things you can set up are: Egi) 3BBs plus 1BB per limper in a limped pre-flop pot. Egii) 3bet raise to 90% of pot in raised pre-flop pots. Egiii) Post flop bet 80% of pot.

Pot bet percentage hot keys. These are an alternative to the above in that you can click them to bet a set percentage of the pot, giving you even more choice. Eg for flop bet: Click Z to bet 75% of pot. You can set the default turn bet and/or river bet to a different percentage if you wish. You can assign up to 4 different hot keys so you can cover many betting scenarios. Good keys to assign are Z,X,C,V because they are directly below the ASDF keys which are popular for standard betting actions.

4. Fixed Bets Tab

These are basically for fixed bets in terms of Big Blinds. You can also add an all-in hotkey. Useful for SNGs in particularly, where you want a simple 1 click launch option when the time is appropriate.

5. Annoyances tab

This handles a lot of the repetitive and generally needless tasks for you, and also things like automatically sitting you back in. You can for example get the software to automatically click single ok boxes for you, and to automatically click check on the check for free box.

This tab also contains the master toggle to turn all hotkeys off. That is useful if you want to write in the chat box or fill in some player notes. Obviously you dont want to type without turning it off as you will be pressing active hotkeys (unless you have assigned them all to F-keys or obscure keys).

6. Opening/Closing Tab

Please note there are 2 sub-tabs within this, 1 for Cash Games and 1 for Tournaments.

Via this tab you can assign a Hot key to close all tables, and a Hot key to sit out all tables at the next big blind.

It is also where you can control your automatic buy-in and seating, and your waiting list automatic handling. For example to accept wait list seats up to your specified maximum number of tables you want to play and them reject them after that point.

7. On-Screen Display

This is basically the tab where you control the large on screen display of your number of BBs left. You can set the color and the location on the screen.

8. SNG Sensei

This containts some more advanced SNG options. You can scale your default bets in accoradance with the blind level. Eg as the blinds get bigger reduce your preflop raise amount downward from 3BB to 2.5BBs

You also can control your SNG sessions from here. For example, keep playing 15 tournaments of a certain type for 2 hours.

Please note there are 2 tabs within the SNG Sensei. One is the SNG Opener, and one is for SNG Betting.

General Approach to Analysis in PT3

To start off analysing your game via Poker Tracker first have a look at your top level stats. Open Poker Tracker and then click on Texas Holdem or Omaha, and then click on the Details tab. This will show your VP$IP and Pre-Flop Raise percentage amongst many other stats. Check them against our guide What are Good/Bad Poker Tracker Stats to make sure there isnt any fundamental issues with your general approach. If you have stats like 50 VP$IP and 5 Pre-Flop Raise you have some fundamentals to address before you get properly started on the need for more detailed analysis.

Specific Analysis of Certain Hands

Click the main Texas Holdem or Omaha tab. Then click on the Hands tab. Click on the BB/Hand column heading and it will order the hands with the most successful at the top and least at the bottom. Click it again and the worst performing hands will now be at the top.

Click on one of the bad hands and in the bottom box the specific hands will appear (ie the individual occurences of when you have played that hand). Double click on the worst performing hands (financially) in that bottom box. You will now see a summary of the hand appear in a pop up window. Click the Replay Hand button to starting reviewing the hand.

Go through each of the worst performing hands one at a time and review how you played them and where you were just unlucky and where you could have played them differently, namely better. Using this method you can find common mistakes quickly and start to eliminate them from your game.

Handling of Certain Types of Opponents

Click on the “vs Player” tab and then the Amt Lost To column heading. Find the players you have lost the most to. Click on their name. Have a look at the hands at the bottom and see if you are losing a lot more frequently than winning against this player or whether it was mainly just a specific one-off hand. If you have lost lots of hands to this player then scroll down the player list column (on the left hand side) and find their name and click on it. All stats will now be displayed from the persective of that player. Have a look at the details tab. Is there something about this player’s playing style you are having problems with. For example do they have a really high agression frequency on the turn and river. Have a look over the hands again and see if you are folding marginal hands a bit much against this type of player. If you start to spot any themes you can always flag these type of players so you can seem them on your hud, and learn to handle them a little differently.

Your Performance in Different Betting Lines

Click on the Filters button (top right) then click Actions. Select something like 3-bet preflop or Continuation bet on the flop. Click Apply and then click ok. The stats you now see will relate to that filter. For example if you selected 3bet (as shown) then the stats now relate to every time you 3-bet. By working through some of these actions you can find some actions which are causing you to lose money.

Say for example you selected Open Limped as a filter and then took a look at your stats and saw you were losing overall in hands where you did that. You now know that you need to do something about Open Limping. You either need to reduce it (ie be more selective) or you need to act differently as the hand progresses.

Your Performance with Different Made Hands and Draws

Click on Filters and then click Made Hands. Select different Made hands (eg Middle Pair on the flop, High Card on the River) and see how they perform. Maybe you will spot something with a particular problem where you see a lot of red figures. Maybe you will see hands where the winnings seem small. Maybe you need to be seeking more value out of certain hands. It isnt all about the hands you lost, the hands you won and how much you won are also very significant.

Also click on the Draws tab and then select either flush draws or straight draws. Go through some of these scenarios. Find out if you are investing too much on flush or straight draws and if they are losing you money overall.

Your Performance when Facing Certain Types of Situations.

Click on filters and then select the Facing tab. This is great for anaylsing how you have performed when facing specific situations. For example when facing all-in situations where you call are you actually winning money overall. ie are you actually calling too light in those sorts of situations. Work through the main checkbox options and take a look at your finanicial performance in each instance.

Traffic and Competition

InterPoker is part of the International Poker Network (also known as the Boss Media Network) which is right now the 5th largest online poker network in the world according to the pokerscout.com ranking. During the peak hours the number of players that log in goes up to 10,000. Around 70% of them are going to be part of the online poker tournaments, while the rest will spend their times at the cash games.
