party poker and bodog are 2 of the easier ones to win at in my opinion. Bogdog is full of players that hit top pair and shove everything in and pp seemed to have a lot of players that didnt really know or care about what they were doing.

Found tilt and pokerstars quite tough tbh and didnt enjoy them.

Just because of sheer volume and ease/quickness of starting a SnG, Full Tilt and Pokerstars win hands down. You never have to wait long for a SnG to start and with the number of players multi tabling them is actually possible. On the smaller sites I have waited at some points 20 minutes to infinity because the games just don''t start. Besides the big 2 I also play on PlayersOnly (Merge) and with such a small player base its a lot slower, and a lot less games. Multi tabling is possible but not convenient, mass multi tabling would pretty much be impossible unless joining every SnG at every stake. Though the games at sites with "casino" games and betting always seem to be fishier.

For MTTs, Pokerstars they are pretty much always huge, Full Tilt is similar but you can actually find MTTs that only have a couple hundred players instead of a couple thousand. Smaller sites may have smaller fields for MTTs, but that also means smaller guarantees, smaller prize pools, and less total tourneys.

For S&G i like Fulltilt, can play the 9, 18, 27, 45, 90, 180

For MTT Carbon or Cake are ok, numbers are way too big on Stars or Fulltilt.

MTT on Cake/Doyles seems REALLY limited, guarantees dropping down all the time.... hardly any MTTs even listed on the lobby for the entire day (looks like this site is setting itself up for the big fail).
Carbon??... what mtt's are worth playing on there (aside from super micros... is there even anything decent in the $10 range, with a decent sized number of entrants in them?).

My reply to OP.... for MTTs Fulltilt & Pokerstars. For SNG's (STT) Fulltilt & Pokerstars... for SNG/MTT >> Fulltilt (way prefer the structure in the 45's compared with Pokerstars which seems to mostly have turbo 45's which are just a shove/fold game with half the field still remaining... not my thing).

For micro sng's... maybe other sites like Bodog (as well as Fulltilt & Stars)(not sure how fast they fill up... but do know the players are awful on there).
ipoker kinda sucks for SNG's... tables take wayyyyy too long to fill up & STT are 10plyr. tables & I prefer 9plyr. tables. Structure kinda sucks too... usually ~7 left with blinds getting HUGE (early levels... goes slow... then once they go up they seem to go up exponentially.... ie. stacks are 15-20bb deep.. then all of a sudden everyone's 5-10bb's deep.... don't like it).
Some of the MTT's on ipoker seem okay... but fields are kinda small unless you're playing the super micros. Tourney structures used to be better than they are now too (5,000/12-15min. blind levels... now more of the 3,000/10min. stuff... shovefest after 1st break).

There used to seem to be more of an option as far as playing on other sites but more recently it seems like most of the other smaller ones are dying off a bit.

PO, i was there today and remember this question, so here you got some choices.

This are finished tourneys so all numbers are final.
-$7000 GTD reb-Addon /$33 buy-in/ 96 players/ EV+$1360
-$4000 GTD shorthanded /$22 buy-in/ 81 players/ EV+$440
-$2000 GTD nightOwl Freez/ $22 buy-in/ 77 Players/ EV+460
-$2750 GTD Freezeout / $16.50 buyin/163 Players / EV+$305
-$1500 GTD shorthand Freez/ $16.50 buy-in/ 75 Players/ EV+375
-$1250 GTD turbo Bounty/ $11 buy-in/ 162 players/ EV+$440
-$1250 GTD reb (PLO) / $11 buy-in / 37 players / EV+$430
-$1500 GTD Freezeout /$5 buy-in / 237 players / EV+315
-$2500 GTD reb/addon /$3 buy-in/229 players/ EV+$772

Probably they have more games that i don´t see, so maybe is a good idea you check them out for something on your stakes.

Also, if you already deposit there before, Shannon Elizabeth join to Carbon so they have a reload bonus promo for July with 100% bonus in $5 increments, you can see this in Carbon software in news page (first page in lobby when log in the software)

Hope this Helps.

Hey.. THANKS for posting this Logan!
Yah, I've never actually deposited on Carbon before but also know I need too (to make transfers & withdrawl)..... maybe now's a good time to deposit. I'm thinking of opening up a Moneybookers account & then deposit via that method (easy withdrawls that way too.... I think??).

Again, I appreciate you posting this list of MTT's.. .I'll have to check it out.

No Problem, Sir, you usually help me out with answers on hand historys or site choices ;).

Yep, any E-wallet is better to cash-out, friends that cash-out from Carbon with checks usually takes 3 weeks or more, E-wallets go for 3-7 days, and you get a fee for check not for E-wallets (most of the time).

Better if you upload ID right away from players administration (before cash-out), that speed up all the process.

Good Luck in there.
