After this week I plan on cashing out of bodog and moving to one of the big sites with more traffic. I'm think UB, stars, of FT. Right now I'm a cash game player grinding of 25NL and moving up to 50NL pretty soon hopefully, which games do you guys think are the softest? Who has the biggest and loosest fish?

Dude bodog is supersoft as in the softest.
I would say UB next.
FT and PS are the most popular sites so more options there.
Good Luck!

Oh I know, I'm not looking for softer just more volume, while trying to maintain some level of softness.

Ultimatebet then I would say, I find it much easier to build there, FT has awesome volume and if you are good, that would be a good choice too.
Me and stars hate each other so I don't recommend them;)

FullTilt if you can get rakeback there. 50NL+Rakeback+Rush poker = moniez And there's also the $600 bonus on your first deposit.

i would say stick to the smaller rooms, if that is what you are most used to... to be completely honest....

i built a 20$ bank roll to 1500 in 2 months on carbon poker (Very small, VERY soft, HU play at 10$...)

i now play on FT because i wanted to make the change similar to you towards the higher volume sites... the reason i suggest sticking with the smaller rooms is due to the HUGE difference in play compared between the bigger and smaller rooms... the difference in skill level is insane, instead of having 1 / 10 being loose donkey idiots on smaller sites, you have 1/3 or 1/4 being loose donkey idiots on the higher volume sites due to their advertising... therefore, the play style you are used to being successful will no longer be as successful, bluffs wont work...

i can rant for a long time, but one thing to note, if you are going to a higher volume site, be very ready to allow your play style to adapt as needed.

If you are first time signing up for Full Tilt or Ultimate and looking for move volume, Full is it. They have everything you want including Donks. Full Tilt has a lot of bad beat stories associted with it. A lot of wins on the river. Hitting running cards constantly. Full tilt is a more polished site.
Make sure you sign up for rakeback before you play cause after is very difficult to get.
Ultimate cards are better. Not three people with goods hands all betting into the pot at the same time because Full tilt gave one pocket Queens, one pocket Jacks and one a Flush draw which happens a lot on Full.

The thing the Carbon is that I have a players only account and since that's moving to merge than I'm just gonna take a break from there and check the reload bonus's. I'm leaning toward Ultimate bet right now, are you guys saying UB has more fish?

I'd get rakeback and sign up on full tilt. They have some pretty good rewards programs and there are always lots of games.

UB, Carbon = soft and easy to build as long as you don't play blackjack.

Full Tilt = eh, dunno. I'm a break-even player. rakeback, bonuses, cardschat freerolls, are the only reason why i profit. Oh, and there are so many things u can do with points. You can enter many good mtt tournaments using points instead of real money.

Stars = I just deposited like 10 days ago. It's not that bad. i don't like the program but very huge volume. no rakeback though.

Doylesroom = less volume, less options, but super easy. lot of players there are rakeback players. they play supertight, hoping for others to play so that they can generate rakeback. but i hate the program. I deposited $30 and then withdrew after reaching $150.

UB has a good rakeback offer I believe with good races and stuff. Also the bad beat jackpots at higher level are added incentive. I like playing there anyways. Good luck.

Why not only move 1/2 of your bankroll? I think you are really going to miss the fish at bodog. Alot of up and down swings there...but the easiest site mentioned by far. With that being said, I like UB and Full Tilt also. I don't think you will be dissappointed with either.

I would say stay at Bodog. :eek:
But if you really want to leave, I say UB is the best of the three mentioned rooms.

I'd suggest playing on any other site instead of UB..

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29/news-views-gossip/ub-scandal-sticky-251207/

UltimateBet has had legal and ethical problems in the past that may sway your opinion. However, to each their own! The majority of my play is on Full Tilt, and like others have said, you should find a rakeback deal to make the most of your deposit. Have fun with the games, wherever you play!

I'm not to concerned with ultimate bet cheating, that was like 2 years ago and I trust there won't be another incident.

Anyway, absolute and ultimate share the same players right? Should I consider absolute over ultimate bet, I think they have a better deposit bonus.

Bodog are by far the softest. I wouldn't recommend moving your bankroll over to Fulltilt/Stars as I think you'll find a HUGE difference (unless of course you're considering changing over to play MTT NLHE).

Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but I think you can play at both.... So you can deposit at one, move your money to the other site ect.

If it's not too late, you might want to re-consider this.

Nice post gravedigger.

WTF are you referring to? My post has meant to be helpful to OP, advising them to re-consider depositing on UB (due to UB's most recent security issue which I figured was obvious without mentioning it)

....why am I explaining this to you??? Maybe your read wasn't so good?
