Right now I have zero volume because I have no money plus I live in a super-repressive household, where they won't even allow me to play poker at all. So next year when I graduate college I'm moving away to Colombia with my mom, where I'll be able to play all of those mythical sites of legend like Stars, Fulltilt, PKR, etc. 
So, I've been shopping around for ROW sites to play in once I'm free to play them; looking for the most desirable ones, in terms of rake and rakeback/cashback programs (doesn't seem to be much of a problem in general with ROW sites -- none of them seem to be super-ghey and offer no cashback at all like Bovada), but primarily in terms of fishiness. Stars is easily the best in terms of everything else, but based on post-BF reviews and what I've seen railing the site it's primarily a tournament site (there's over 7 times more tournament traffic than cash traffic), and it's an effing reg-infested nitfest. So to me, the main appeal would be that there's plenty of juicy traffic in non-NLHE games I play that people still have no clue how to play in general (primarily: HU 5cd, HU stud, and HU FLHE) since there's plenty of traffic in literally EVERYTHING at Stars. Otherwise, I don't think there's a ton of reason for me to play at Stars.
888 tops everyone's list for fishiness, and some railing confirms that it is indeed even more ridiculously, horridly fishy than Bovada (and more crucially, unlike Bovada it actually has VIP cashback so you can extract twice as much money out of the fishies), but according to Marg its software is so horrid that it's just not worth playing despite its overall juiciness. Reviewers though can't seem to agree on what the second most fish poker site is, though -- different iPoker skins (most commonly featured are william hill, Titan and Bet365) get wildly different rankings depending on who you ask, some think bwin is awesome, some don't, etc. So, I'm kinda confused.
Anybody can help there?
