Hi cardchatters!!

im moving from Spain to the UK next week. In Spain, because poker is regulated, theres a very limited selection of sites. Only pokerstars offers a decent range of games as far as my research has found. And youre limited to only playing against other Spanish players. im sick of seeing the same regs lol

I was wondering what advice i could get on the best choice for a poker room when based in the UK. I prefer MTTs in general -say $5 to $20.

From what ive found, 888 seems to be the resounding winner with most poker sites having it has number one. With Pokerstars generally down in 3rd or 4th.

If theres any UK players here, i would very much like your feedback on what sites you use and why.

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure what 'sites' you've been getting your information from??? I mean who seriously would rank 888Poker above Pokerstars for micro/low buyin MTT's? You can easily discover it for yourself by just logging into the site & browsing the tournament lobby.
As far as 888 vs. Stars goes, Stars is 100x better. There's not a huge selection of tournaments in that buyin range on 888Poker and many of the ones they do have will have some sort of dumb gimmicky thing with it instead of just having some decent-structured tourneys (ie. win a freak'n baseball cap, or a deck of cards, lots of turbo/fast structured tourneys, etc. etc.).
For early evening in UK (I'm out west in canada so I'm adding 8hrs.) you have a small handful of tourneys between 4pm & 8pm & it's rare to have a guarantee over $4,000.

What other pokersites were ranked above Pokerstars for micro-low buyin tourneys? (by the sites you were checking out). I'm very curious.

i'm from the uk, i play mainly on pokerstars because, well it's just the best, also played on william hill and Titan they have some good promos! I don't know how 888 ranked so highly, there variety of games is favoured towards turbo type structures, i have an account there but i don't play because i don't really enjoy the software.

well i just googled "best uk poker sites" and literally 90% of them has 888 as number one. I tried 888 in Spain and it was useless coz there were so few players (youre limited to Spanish only and i think most use pokerstars).

The general consensus was 888 and William Hill in the top 2. And pokerstars and fulltilt 3 and 4. Apparently coz the competition on 888 and WH were of a lesser standard because theyre not primarily poker sites.

I have to admit i was leaning towards pokerstars anyway coz i love mtts. Bue i just wanted to see if anyone used 888 or something else in the UK.

Thanks for the feedback guys

It all depends on how much time you have.

Whilst pokerstars is very good the size of the fields regularly stop me playing.

I would rate PokerStars as the best site that I use. I tried 888 Poker but something about it I just didn't like.
