Anyone heard of YouGotBluffed and ChecknRaise?

Hey guys, I'm new here so I'll take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Greg and my favorite poker hand is 99 -- what's yours?

Just wondering if anyone here has heard of YouGotBluffed.com and ChecknRaise.com? They offer pretty good tournaments and table games of all kinds of Texas Hold 'Em as well as Omaha (Hi/Lo).

If you sign-up for ChecknRaise through YouGotBluffed you're eligible for a 25% deposit bonus and you can even receive cool promotional items from them as well. It seems pretty cool.

Also, I heard YouGotBluffed is going to start offering weekly freerolls every Sunday at 8pm (EST) for $10, and then at the end of every month they are going to do an additional freeroll for $50. They have a standings page too where the top 3 earners will win yet another prize.

The two sites are still very new and there's not that many people that enter and play just yet, so it's a great opportunity for some people to play in the freerolls and/or deposit money on CnR to build a quick bankroll.

If you like poker, I think you should check it out. Hopefully I'll see some of you around there as well as here.

Huh? No I don't work for them or anything...I just wanted to know if anyone else plays there like I do. It's a pretty good site, one that I think is worth checking out. That's all.

I am not sure, but I thought Alex mentioned them, I could be wrong.

It is browser based, I couldnt get it to work, and didn't bother trying it.

Yes it is browser based. At first I didn't like it, but it's actually pretty cool compared to normal software-based programs.

I couldn't get it to work in Internet Explorer either (I even had that Sun Microsystems Java Plug-in), but I use Mozilla's Firefox and it works flawlessly.

I tried to get an account at CheckNRaise, but their confirmation email never arrived, even though I requested it a few times. Support wasn't any help. I do get email advertisements from them, though.

I'd like another browser-based alternative. I have a Windows desktop, but my laptop is a Mac and I wouldn't mind being able to play kicked back on the couch now and then.

B budget?

Well I've played at all 3 of the sites you've mentioned, and they are nice, but personally I now prefer YGB/CnR more. I nice interface with good competition. Not an overwhelming amount of people either, so there's a good chance of winning and cashing out if you know what you're doing.
