Hello dear Poker players,

I am a new member at Cardschat and I am very happy that there is such a thing where you can actually chat with real players and not everything seems to be sponsored.

The purpose of this thread is to help me decide where to transfer my online poker activity as I am not satisfied with poker stars at all. My thread will be kinda long I think so if you are a U.S. resident you can stop reading my text now so you don't waste your time since I am seeking help in Europe environment (yeah, unfortunately).

Some things about me first, I am a 26 y.o. European and have been playing unprofessional Poker the last 6 years. I've never worked in my life and I've been making a living from betting on sports. I don't say this to brag about myself but so the reader understands that I have a pretty good understanding of statistics, odds, variance, standard deviation etc. To get back to Poker, I've been playing in home games with friends for most of the years and when they decided they are not so fun of it anymore I started playing in the casino. Without having tracked down the actual statistics I've been a winner in these games 75%+ of the time and i don't have a night which recorded an economic defeat I've been ashamed of or to get me thinking "what the hell did you do to your money tonight?". After some time playing in the casino I decided it is too slow and it is time for me since I love the game to make the switch to online poker and keep the casino for Saturdays. I had an account on Poker Stars from the past and 4 months ago I decided to deposit to start grinding the online environment. Online I am playing 12 9-handed tables 0,05/0,10$ blinds with maximum buy-in (10$) and auto add-ons for 12 hours a day (approximately 10-12k hands/day). I am a solid player and i rarely tilt, I have a system and stick to it. I don't consider myself to be a shark yet and I think most of the people who know me would characterize me as a tight-aggressive bomb. I am a winner on Poker Stars the last 4 months and did not need to make a 2nd deposit, I only withdraw. So, why do you have a problem with it? Because I don't have the financial return that my capabilities deserve and it really seems like I break even at the Poker table and just cash out the rakeback(which is about 20$/day). I am having problem with Poker Stars because it seems like it is the site deciding when you win and at most of the cases even the amount. It just seems like the site wants to keep everyone happy. I am not saying that the site is in favor of me or against me and every time such thoughts passed through my mind I was taking a break and was saying to myself relax, go back and do your A game. To go to the poker tables now, we are the same 50-75 people there everyday doing the same thing, a new guy comes to the table and buys in for let's say 7,7$ and all of us are thinking "who is the lucky old guy that will get the hand against this newcomer?" This would be okey I guess if half of the tables were with newcomers but to be honest, most of the time we are 8 "olds" and 1 "new". I just feel like we are recycling money and just give rake rake rake and break even. I've been thinking to discuss this some weeks now and today was the day I got sick of it, withdrew all my bankroll from Poker Stars and I am now searching where to deposit it next. Why today? 7,5k hands and no double-up says enough by itself I think. If you explain the game to a 7 y.o. and he plays 7,5k hands he'll even do a double up playing with grown-ups.

So dear Poker players, I am seeking advice on the site you think it's best to be the next site for me having already some info on my playing style habits.
To make your job easier, these are the poker sites that are eligible to play at my country: bet365, paddypoker, pokerdom, betclic, triobet, olybet and paf. From my little research so far i'm close to select paddypoker but your help is highly appreciated. Thanks a lot again for your time and assistance. One last thing, if you actually bother to read my thread and give an answer please don't let it be "pokerdom definately" alone. I put much effort to write this and I expect something equivalent in return with arguments. Thanks again.

P.S.: Sorry for any grammar mistakes.
