    5Dimes Poker

    I wanted to invest a small % of my sportsbook balance to the Grand Poker Room on 5Dimes but I'm always skeptical of any online poker site. Would appreciate any feedback from someone who has played there.

    I started out with small stakes cash games tonight and it went well. Software is pretty nice as well. It's only one night but it's better than I thought.

    5dimes is a good site for poker. Mainly micro limits being played.

    The games are going on a regular basis with sports betting being on hold.

    Yes there was. I had to join the waiting list 2 or 3 times as I hopped in and out over a few hour span.

    Yes that's true. I wanted to start small at first but I'm going to give the 1-2 tbl a look soon.

    Yea, I prefer playing Live but obviously that option as been eliminated for the time being. This is the next best thing at trying to generate some cash flow.

    That's what I'm concerned with. You're going to have bad luck organically but if it happens too much it makes you start to question things.

    Look at it as entertainment... If you make a few bucks all the better...

    Good luck.

    Played 1-2 last night for 1st time and finished doubling up. As of right now, I haven't seen any red flags but it's only my second day playing there.

    If you wanted to start I would start with play money and try to see as many hands as possible before you invest real $$$. Sports investing is where I've made my living for 20 years with poker being a side investment. Now poker has taken center stage. Not being able to play Live right now leaves me no choice but to play online.

    Waves goes by the same name on here as he does on 5 dimes. Probably playing in the tournament tonight.
