I know you all have your favorites, how about that one site that you will never play on again? Whether it be terrible customer service, terrible traffic, or just plain terrible layout. Mine would have to be Absolute Poker (Which is long gone) while I liked the site at the time, it was the only site I saw 5 Aces get dealt in a tournament, and when they shut down I lost over $100, I don't feel as bad because I know there are others who have lost much much more to those crooks. Any terrible experiences you have had?

I will not mention small "regional" poker rooms.. but from that biggest pokersites for me its 888 and partypoker.

888 - I kind of like it cause of their promotions which are very good I think, I hate it cause of software and many not only bad players, but there are many arogant idiots in my opinion.

Partypoker - I hate their software and their rake is also too high I think. Promotions are terrible and 3% fee at withdrawal...

I found party poker pretty gash to be honest. 888 Poker Is odd but I've won some decent money on there,

Sky poker software is shocking as well

Mansion Poker was the most disgraceful poker room I played at. There are freerolls wich you can't play. You can only play four Bankrollmobs a week. There have played only 40 players a tournement. I have won there about six dollars and my mom made also a account there and then it deleted automatically my account. And the money tournements are also disgraceful, you can't win there something useful. The Sit & Gos I don't even started because the payout was so pityfully.

I've heard of pretty bad things about Partypoker. There's that 3% withdrawal fee that they don't mention, as well as the fact that they've tried "segrating" the regulars from the fish in order to increase their profits...

PartyPoker is becoming annoying with the constant lagginess and it takes me about 5mins just to login a lot of the time and another 2mins to change from one tab to another or update a list.

Party Poker went from 1st to 4th in the poker rankings. It was the 1st poker site that I joined when i 'discovered' online poker. After 4 years, i wake up one day, and booom, i no longer can play there. I never heard jack crap about getting my money either. And they completely blocked any type of play, no cash, no play money. Then blocked logging on. A bad move by a poker giant, it's not surprising the a-holes went to the dogs. Party Poker is as bad as the sites that robbed people, they just did it in a different way.

Software wise, it would be iPoker or 888. iPoker are just so far behind good sites it's unreal...

For cashouts obviously lockpoker "wins", waited 60+ days for a withdrawal as a Non-US skrill player

I don't know why so much hate on 888. I would say PKR is very bad, Party also. Ipoker network is not far behind, too.

The worst is Partypoker - I hate their software, their promos and their attitude (note that i havent lost any money there, although i have earned few bucks there).
Whole Ongame network - software is awful and promos are in the middle age

LOL... I was thinking the same thing!!! Others are bitching about the software and promos, at least they get their money under 6 months!!! Those Europeans are spoiled :)

Something is wrong there at PartyPoker

Apart from the abovementioned problems I received an "exclusive" invitation to play one of their poker pros with the prize being an entry to the Milton Keynes tournament near Christmas.

Well, that tournament just "disappeared" along with the other players at the designated time of start.

Did the partypoker pro not turn up to play...?

But that is not the worst of the problems at PartyPoker. For example, today I',m playing a big tournament and find myself halfway into it sitting with the nuts and a big stack, somebody shoves into me and I cannot call or shove or respond or do anything because the poker client decided to "hang" or "lag". So, inevitably, I timed out. I literally had to do a restart of the software, which under windows requires the ctrl+alt+del function to get the task manager to close the client down. BOY WAS I MAD!!! That is the greatest killer problem with PartyPoker. In this case I lost a the opportunity to clearly make a lot of chips and potentially win the tournament as that win would have made me the biggest stack at the right time in the tourney.

It was violently unpleasant to experience that, to say the least.

Almost feels like a setup. I dunno. It dorve me to this site. I signed up today just to bear my frustraion and vent my displeasure in this affair.

Moreover, over lesser more damaging problems, to this day after multiple attempts at contacting their support I still have never had one reply to my previous grievances.

So this means something is very wrong there.

The last time I spoke to any from PartyPoker was in person at the Stratford Casino when they had the WPT National London tourney there in November. Perhaps that is the only way to get in touch with them. Their current support is non-existent.Like you need to go to them in person....

Crazy shit! No?

The worst poker room imo is 888. It is really crappy and bad interface. The rake is fair, just a bad poker client.
