Does anyone play on Cake Poker?

[TheCol]

I was wondering if anyone plays on Cake Poker?
Ive been playing there for a few months now. I seem to do pretty good there, I dont know if its the players or the RNG (Random Number Generator) but Ive made many final tables on MMT's. Ive been playing on a $40 deposit for about 3 weeks now and my bankroll is well over $1300. I havent played many big buy-in tournaments there. I mostly stick to a range of $5-$30 for tournament entrys. The bigger tournaments have alot higher buy-in cost like $50 bucks for a 10k tourney comparied to Fulltilt with there $11 buy-in 10k tournament.
Cakes reward system is not to impressive. You only get 1/2 a frequent player point for $1 of rake. Its alot harder to get any deposit bonus release there too.
If you play on Cake poker let me know how your experience is? Do you recommend Cake poker? What are your best wins? What tournaments do you recommend playing on Cake?

I play there, usually just on the weekends.

I binked a $39 turbo there for about $750 back in November.

Before they revamped their schedule I only played to turbo MTTs and they were all 6-handed tables. Some are still like that (the odd $6.60, $13, $26 and $39 ones are) but they now have a couple that are 10-man tables. There is a $22 turbo bounty at 10:30pm EST and a $33 turbo at 11pm EST that I always try to play. I've played the $33 bounty at 10pm also.

While clearing a bonus I ran the turbo SNGs there, they are 10-man tables but they pay out 4 places.... kinda strange to me.

I hate the look, it has that cheesy "Party Poker" avatar thing going on and I had to disable them. The sounds are god-awful too.

Overall I've done OK there and I'll continue to play there, especially since I have rakeback. Having rakeback does hurt us with the Gold Chip thing but I don't put in near enough volume there to be concerned.

I've been playing there for a few months. I play the ring and sng games. I find the players there to be pretty soft.
The reason I don't play there alot is that I hate the interface.

I played a bit at Cake about a year ago, and not much since. I do think it's a good site though. I'm actually going to be reviewing the site so will be playing there a lot in the next couple of weeks. So, any input from you guys would be fantastic.

I think it would be a good site to have a monthly freeroll or private tourney. I guess we could open a new thread and take a vote.
Im in for any private tourament there, buy-in or freeroll it doesnt matter.
I think alternating sites for are freerolls and private tournaments would be good. And also league events, instead of staying on just one site for the league.

Yeah, this is possible. But since nearly everyone has a Stars or FT account, it's just more convenient to host them there for now. I wouldn't want people to have to sign up to a new site just to play in our free/private games. Maybe we can try Cake at some point though!

I think my handle on Cake is jsadowitz (not 100% as it's not installed on this PC). Maybe I'll get on there next week and give you a game!
