There is no such thing as "too honest". First, there are maybe two dozen poker platforms out there. You aren't going to get the same person to sign up at all 24. It matters only a little which cardroom a person signs up at, so present them the facts, and your "expert" judgment. That is what you are poresenting yourself as, something of an expert. In the rest of the world, people don't do reviews of things they know nothing about.
If a cardroom has buggy software, you are better off saying that, and then saying because of the buggy software a lot of tougher players won't play there, making the games soft.
It isn't our job to sell these rooms. And it isn't our job at all to sell these rooms equally. Our job is to run our businesses, and the best way to be a stupid poker affiliate is to mislead players in reviews, because what that means is they sure the hell are far more unlikely to come back to your site for anything, including reccomendations about other cardrooms.
It's our job to present visitors with options of playing at online cardrooms, and information about them. Having accurate information is good for the longterm health of your domian, and theirs. Sending people somewhere where they will be unhappy with the room and pissed off at you is lousy business.
(Of course you also save yourself grief by not promoting at all shitty cardrooms at all.)
