Main features needed in poker rooms to grind NL50-NL200
For playing regularly NL50-NL200, the requirements are not that different of those considered playing any other stake. Even the softness of the field is not considered here, the strength is very similar at all rooms at medium stakes. Of course, weaker lineups can be spotted at the so-called underground rooms (from the Middle East, USA, Asia), but in this article, we will consider different options.
The first and most important feature is the traffic, not only in terms of quantity but also considering its distribution during the day. The current situation makes that any poker room different from partypoker and PokerStars has traffic only focused on a region, therefore we will recommend groups with poker rooms that have some features in common: traffic peak time, HUD support, and rakeback.
Let's start with GGpoker.
GGpoker Network

Deposit bonus | £40 free play or £500 |
Rakeback | up to 60% |
The GG network focused on attracting European and Asian traffic with great results: the number of connections has exponentially increased, and the GG network rooms present like "2 peak times": the European and the Asian prime-time (about 20% more traffic in the second one):
- NL50 – 45-50;
- NL100 – 35-40;
- NL200+ – 30-50.
Any kind of support software, including HUD, is forbidden by the network, only a feature called Smart HUD which shows some stats of the tables to everyone. Our top-rakeback deal is PokerOK, where all players get 50% fixed rakeback.
The MPN rooms can be mixed with GG network; at RedKings, our best offer, players receive 35% rakeback plus additional room promotions like rake races. During the European prime time, players can find about 10 NL50 tables, up to 5 NL100 and 2-3 NL200.
American networks — Winning and Chico
During the American nights, Chico and WPN networks present active tables at NL50-NL200. It's a good idea to mix rooms because table selection is still available and you can look for the best games, for example between PokerKing and Tigergaming.
Stake | Tigergaming | PokerKing |
NL50 | 7-8 | 13-15 |
NL100 | 5-6 | 8-10 |
NL200 | 3-4 | 5-7 |
Tigergaming has 9-max action and up to 10 tables can be spotted at NL100.
