where is the best place to play?

[tom klarc]

Just thought since I have been a member for like a week now I thought I would make a post that might get some feed back.

Just wondering where everyone plays and why they play there. Is it the promotions or the games or the tournaments.
I have friends telling me where to play but I want a non biased oppinion.

Thanks everyone.

many ppl think a big site is the best site
well...
i have a really bad experience with pokertars support.never encountered smth like that
they blocked my account because ,annoyed by customer support,i said i go and kill myself.
gee!is it me,or that was really weird?!....u never use this expression whithout really meaning that?
and i still have EARNED fpp points there...i have no idea what to do.pfff
i emailed them 5 times....explaining it might be a cultural difference..and still nothing.they sent me to the pokerstars store to buy smth,lol.but they know i don t have enough points for that...i only can play a few tournaments.what an abuse....
so,i don t know what to say about pokerstars.if u google pokerstars support sucks,u will find 500000 results : )

in this day and age of liability paranoia and political correctness, you really gotta be careful what u say. but u cracked me up when i read this post. definately a cultural difference. go ahead and find yourself another place to play. maybe review bob's advice. it was a relief to to me to find out that there is a culture still alive out there that doesn't take itself so seriously.

Hi Tom.

Personally, Full Tilt is my favourite site.

I like their range of tournaments and they also have alot of good satelite tournaments that I do well in.

I would reccommend that you try out alot of different sites to find out what suits you best.

Some of the smaller sites can have alot of softer players so can be alot more profitable.

If you like large field tournaments, PokerStars is the place to be although Full Tilts tournaments are getting more and more players all the time.

It kinda depends upon what you're looking for in a site.

My favourites >

Fulltilt
for satellite mtt's, 45man SNG's, 27plyr.SNG, & 9-plyr SNG).

MTT's on Fulltilt... meh.. I don't really like the structure of the ones I can afford with my bankroll (ie. the biggest ones I can actually afford without satelliting are the $26donkaments and the structure in them sucks,.. it's a shovefest too early on imo). They do have some newer (cheap) SuperStack tourneys though... lots of weak players and lots of time to outplay them.

Pokerstars
MTT's - large field mtt.s (5,000 players is practiaclly the norm for the guar. tourneys in the daytime.) most have 3,000chips 15mins. blinds. Final table payouts for even the micro buyins are quite big (ie. a guy I know just recently took 2nd for over $2,000 in a $2.50 buyin... it was his first MTT on Stars).

SNG's - Micro buyin SNGs on Stars... I HATE 'EM. The play is soooooooo bad that the game is just bs imo. Yah yah yah.. we're supposed to like that (I find when there's too many of them on one table the game gets ridiculous and becomes ALOT more about luck then skill). I find I need to play at min. a $10 buyin and find them similiar to maybe a $5 on Fulltilt. To me the $20's (reg. speed) feel/seem easier to beat then the $3's (< I don't have patience for them).


Titan
Just started playing some tourneys on this site. So far.. so good. There's not alot of players on ipoker but the few tourneys I like on there have Great strucuture (ie. 6,000 chipstacks & 12min. blind levels... you're not even at 50/100 by 1st break & there's tons of room for play). These start at $33 buyin though... although there's decent $22 buyin MTTs too (3,000 chips, 10min. levels). They typically have 110-170 players in them & payout top20. The one thing I don't like about them is the payout structure kinda sucks (11th thru 20th all pays the same.. which means 'once the bubble pops & it's ITM.. it goes a bit insane until final table... because there's no benefit to getting 12th over 20th.
Another thing I don't like about ipoker - it's 10plyr. tables instead of 9.

The mtts $1-$10 I hear are decent to play in but they're all 1500chip starting stacks... or 'rebuy's. I don't play them very often personally but have heard they're ok.

SNG's... I don't particularly like them (10plyr tables again) and rarely play them at all.

Ring games "low limit" (ie. 2nl to 10nl) these tables are decent, you can find a half dozen or more to sit in on and there's always some really loose passive players & others who are way overvaluing their hands. I believe a micro limit player could easily build a roll on this site by playing micro buyin cash games (compared to Fulltilt for example).

The Rest
I rarely play on anything besides the above 3 sites these days (used to play on Doyles but these days I'd never recommend anyone deposit & play on there.. ugh). Carbon (Merge), you hear alot of micro players do really well on there and the guar. prizepool micro buyin mtts often have added value by not having enough players to meet the guar. I also hear that the play is generally softer & weaker than many of the others.

HMMMM THE BEST SITE 2 PLAY SAYS PLAYFUL IS THE SITE U CONSISTENTENTLY WIN AT.....SPEAKING FOR MYSELF IT WUD B JOKERSTARS.. I MEAN POKERSTARS LOL

[Poker Orifice]

I'm guessing that OP wasn't really all that insterested in what sites we play on.. & why.
Hopefully someone else will be... cuz I feel like a bit of a schmuck for responding to his request.

[Terminal Frost]

Seems to be the latest twist for spammers. They know the new posts will be read and links deleted, so they post what appears to be a valid post then come back later and fill it with links.

They typically post a long question as their first post, so now I'm on the lookout for that.

So sick of this shit.
