Best and worst

ive been trying out a bunch of sites lately and found some good ones and bad ones.

What is everyones favorite and least favorite site.

I like pokerstars and bodog.

I dont like partypoker and pokerhost

Best ive played on is Ladbrokes as it is easy to find what tourney or table you are looking for and i like the table layout no annoying avatars.

worst one has to be Everest Poker wasted $25 on that, you cant concentrate as the table is round and you can see who was made what bet. Also dont like the new 3D poker site what a waste of research and money.

Worst: PokerStars

Best: Full Tilt Poker

Would it not be better if we gave reasons with our best and worst.

I can only offer my opinion on Full Tilt, PokerStars and Titan.

FT has the best interface, and generally better players. The bonus cash is fairly easy to clear. The ring games are not soft, I've done fairly well at the MTT's there as you generally don't run into fish playing absolute junk that get lucky. All in all, better players all around. The down side is the MTT's are more expensive. Very few $5 buy in MTT's, although the SNG's have small stakes and are fun.

PokerStars has loads of fish, the interface isn't anywhere near as good as FT either. The plus side is there are lots of micro ring games and very small buy in MTT's. I love playing MTT's, and I'm cheap so I like PS for this fact. The play on PS is the softest of the 3 sites I've been on. Just yesterday I tried a Limit Omaha High/Low SNG just for fun as I've never played that before. Before I knew it there were only 17 people left out of 45? Mind boggling the fish on this site.

Titan has good customer service ( only site I've had to deal with CS, so take it for what it's worth ). The number of people playing is rather small compared to PS and even FT so the SNG's fill up slowly. The play is comparitive to FT, not as many fish as PS by far. The bonus money is as close to impossible to clear as one can get unless you play far bigger stakes than I play. The interface is ok, the SNG's you start out with 1000 chips as compared to 1500 on FT and PS.

Of the 3 I like FullTilt for the level of play and the interface, but I find myself on PokerStars most of the time for the big MTT's that only cost $1 - $3 to enter.

Explanation!

Worst: partypoker- to much going on. Banners, ads, pop ups I just want to play
Best: currently I play at Big bonus bucks. Simply web design, easy to use. very few ads. Besides it is my understanding that all online casino poker rooms link to 1 or 2 large hosting areas where every one plays.

Now mind you I've only played for free on these sites so those who play for money can take my comments with a grain of salt if they like..Anyhow, I've played primarily on three sites- Ultimate Bet, Poker Stars, and Full Tilt.. Ultimate Bet is my favorite by far.. Sit and Go's that fill up fast and big tournaments which actually are worth the time if you choose to play in them.. The competition is pretty tough if you make it through the all in crowd, which is certainly not abnormal for any site.. Poker Stars is a good site full of lots of fish.. Sit and Go's fill up amazingly fast and usually feature good competition if you manage to last through the first 45 minutes or so.. MTT's are worthless.. No payouts at all, unless you value copious amounts of worthless play chips..Full Tilt is my least favorite for one main reason..The avatars.. Way too cartoonish and I just found it hard to take my poker seriously when some guy is clicking his facial features back and forth from happy to sad to mad etc.. Just stupid in my opinion..The competition is pretty good though in my opinion.. The only redeeming feature to this site is that the Pro's are often online and you can sit in and watch them play..

In a somewhat related sidebar if I were to play for money (which I hope to soon!) I am going with Poker Stars because of the amount of horrible players as opposed to Ultimate Bet which is my favorite site..

I have to agree. When people are more interested in chating or worried what facial expression is showing it kind of defeats the purpose. I do play because enjoy it, but lets face it, you are there to win money.

(fine then)

Software: Circa 1996 in appearance. Even the new themes are annoying. Is this "Quake"?

R.N.G.: I have a feeling it's from 1996, also. I've had the most instances of repeat cards there, multi-tabling and not.

MTT's: Every affordable tournament I want to play always has 1000+ players (maybe exaggeration, but still). I think they need more $10 and under buy-ins.

SnG's: The non-turbos seem like turbos. Not sure if it is the blind structure or the starting chips or the 9-player tables (vs 10).

Competition: (Not their fault but...) IMHO, they have the toughest players at low stakes.

Reload Bonuses: Almost none.

Points system: Hard (but not the hardest) to earn points. At low stakes, it took me almost 4 months to earn a T-shirt.

Overall, not enough "pros" and too many "cons" for me. They are safe with a good reputation, but I'm more comfortable elsewhere. Just an opinion and not a bashing.

i think there software could have some small improvments but is overlall the best. They have most things to play and have the best selection of everything to play and the most players.

Most of pokerstars tourneys and SNGs are the 15 minutes per level. Most sites are 10 hands or 10 minutes. They also have turbos and deepstacks

Isnt fulltilt a lot like pokerstars?

Favorite site: PokerStars - frankly, the interface is uber-easy to use, and the software is about as flawless as it gets. Too bad they don't offer as many reload bonuses as, say, Party Poker, but they do offer a great variety of cash games and tournaments for whatever level you want. Their satellite policy is great, in that if you win a ticket to the next level/main event in the satellite you're playing, you can unregister and use the T$/W$/FPPs for other uses....and you could even sell the T$/W$ for $$$ pretty easily, if you choose. Oh yeah, their customer service might just be the best around, with Paradise and Bodog being very favorable, as well.

Least favorite: Too many to name - if you're a site with less than 1000 players and/or a crappy bonus policy, forget about it.

Well I have just remove Ultimate Beat err Bet from my rotation for the next 3 months.

I can stand getting beat when I have a good hand. But I can't stand to lose EVERY hand. SnG or FreeRolls or $ tournaments. It is all the same. Best hand going in with only a 1% chance of losing and that 1% will hit.

I guess now being a US player It doesn't matter anymore I should just play on AOL or some crap.

Best: poker.com and Tropical

No real reason for poker.com except that the support rocks. Now Tropical...I'm liking it because it is just one big school of fish. Almost everything else needs work but there is money to be made there.

Worst: Too many to name, mostly for bugs, bad support, or just annoying players.
