TrueMoney Games, excellent graphics-a real professional feel to it. On the downside, not as much action as some other poker sites.

Paddy Power, lots of FRs for first timers and quite soft. Also Irish.

BTW take advantage of signup bonus and FRs at Titan thru link here, good deal...

I'm playing on Paddy Power at the moment, they are having some nice promo's that is attracting some newer players over here atm. Its part of the I-Poker network so you will have several different rooms playing on the same tables.

What do you think of party poker

Solid, trustworthy site. I don't know what the game quality and traffic is like at the moment. Might be worth firing off FP a PM, I know he plays there a lot.

Ladbrokes poker. Tons of guarantees, some great promo's (the ladbrokes cruise) and some great prize giveaways like chip sets and the like.
They also have relatively small fields and some soft players who mostly use the sportsbook and casino, then dip into poker when they win.
They introduced the 'all-in-or-fold' games. One starting chip, shove or fold! Only a dollar and a great way to let off steam.
Also introduced the 'double end' games, 8 seats, $5 buy in, winner takes $20, LAST place also takes $20. So there is a shove fest on the first hand with everyone hoping NOT to hit. lol.
I've won a lot on there in my time, includng a couple of the large guarantees.

Now if only my computer would stream it fast enough!!!

SNG and MTT rake is very high they can take 25% or more in the low limits when the norm in the industry tends to be 10%.

The lowest limit NL holdem is full of short stackers. The lower PLO/PLO8 games are very juicy and its not abnormal to see 20 dollar average on a 25PLO table, but remember that because of the swings you have to be well bankrolled.

You are right on the spot. I like the table graphic at party, but it really tilts me that they charge you $1 in fee to play a $5 S&G tournament.

I play Double or Nothing S&G. If I play 10 at party compared with 10 anywhere else - I need to cash in one more tournament (actualy 1.1 more) just to equal out the extra fees that party charge me :(

If I were you....and if you enjoy iPoker which is the biggest network and still growing

...I would choose bet365

They have long been known for the best customer service on the sportsbook side...and I have only experienced the same on the poker front.
They are a huge company so you never have to worry about your money (besides at the tables) - and they also have lots of money transfer methods...with no fees.
One last thing is...that they are by far the skin on iPoker that have the most promotion only for thir oen players...which is really nice for players like me that can't do anything in the big network competitions - although they also have those of course

You can't go wrong with Party Poker or Everest Poker, large reputable sites and many fishes.

I played many hands on PKR this month and I love it, the sofware is fast even if you play 4 tables(the maximum allowed).

The Ongame network have a lot of software problem these days, I mean it's not even funny what many players have experienced the last couple of months.

The iPoker network is large but the game seems very tight. I would go with the most reputable skins, like Titan or PaddyPower.

i play at virginpoker.com. i signed up for the freeroll they have every evening, not much of a payout, but there's only about 200 people enter, and they are pretty soft, so easy to cash.
after a week of playing there, virgin gave me 5 euros free, which ive taken up to 75 euros, with not much play(my main sites are ps/ft). there's not much traffic there unless its peak time, but they do have some really nice guaranteed mtts, for instance the 10c rebuy, with 50 euros added, sometimes only gets like 40-50 players.
go check it out, tons of fish there, who love chasing draws, or calling all the way with bottom pair.

I did play at william hill which was very fishy and easy to make cash at the micro limits. Then they switched to the i poker network which was exactly the same as titan, with a low % of players at the flop and ruined the site for me. Play on stars imo if you play at the micro limits.

I am now playing on bet365 on the ipoker network
I find the cash games are really tight
Also when you enter a tourney it says you can also pay by Token
HOW DO YOU GET THE TOKENS ?
I can't find them anywhere

Agree with a lot of the above- especially the rake on party, but still think party worth a look- they regularly give you free cash to play with (if you win, great, if you lose, wait until they offer more free cash!)- best promos of the european sites.

Titan is my favourite (if you have the right affiliate...) ipoker site, though also enjoy CD poker as I have a $1k private freeroll there every week..

32red, GNUF also good (microgaming sites)

888 or luckyace are pretty easy to win on...

depends on how much you play, what your bankroll is and what you play (sngs/ mtts/ cash games- pl omaha or nl or limit?)

Have about 20 sites but still think pokerstars and fulltilt are the best 2 (pokerstars have amazing promos for uk players going on)

bonus/ fish- luckace/ 888
freerolls - gnuf/ fortune (luckyace $5k this weekend as well)
promos- party/ 32red
overall- titan

There are loads of the ipoker sites to clear bonuses on - william hill, tony g, cd poker, poker ocean, pokerducks, ladbrokes(?), bet365, paddypower- and sure many more- know titan is the biggest of them though, so able to offer best stuff
