Until I found this forum, I have been playing free poker on Zynga. I recently went over to poker stars and started playing there.

What I would like to know is where is the best place to find good competition online. I use online games to improve my live small tourney play.

Is it just a matter of moving up in price of games to find better players or is there a site that attracts better players?

I would say go in the direction of getting yourself into position to play CardsChat freerolls, no matter are you tourney or a cash guy, these games are the chance to play against people who are really good at poker and pla some respectable stakes but play these game cuz they have a chance to play against people they know... definitely worth a shot...

I'll also pretend that i havent read part about zynga :p

Just kiding, we all started somewhere...

I used to be a little sheepish about that as well, but I have found value since I started playing tourneys in the casinos. There always seems to be about a third of the field who are just occasional players and do not take the game serious. Same type of player I found on Zynga and being able to play with wild and unpredictable players sure helps get to the final tables in the casino games.

I'm really confident that you would gain an almost same experience if you played any public freeroll anywhere, no difference but if you think that it benefited to you than great, tho i would never advise anyone to waste time there...

But i was just trying to be fun about zynga it doesnt makes any difference really if you play zynga or any play money game on real poker site, so just forget that i even mentioned anything about it ;)

Depends on how you define good competition. the hardest is at Pokerstars for sure, full tilt poker is nice but a little easier to classify or get into the money. Places like Poker MIRA, ACR are easier but they dont have many players asides form Freerolls. Zynga I never hear of them until you mention them. :jd4:

For me Zynga would be a good place to start. You can play for free and able to play player around the world. Before moving to the casino to make some cash it will be harder to win since your going to play with players who play the game for a long time.

I would try freerolls on pokerstars. Those are tournaments that are free to join but offer money if you do well. They so far have been pretty good to me. Good luck.

Yeah qualify for the Freerolls here then you can play against really good players for free and have a good opportunity to win a few dollars... I think it goes without saying that the higher the entry stake the better the standard of player you will be up against, although there are still Fish at higher stakes... just not so many...

You could probably start with the smallest stake sngs,double or nothing or 2nl cash games.You should play a lot to get enough experiences and at the same times build good sample size.

I do agree with the other punters out here, maybe you can try your luck with pokerstar but you can always try to conduct a research for reliable online casinos or might as well check the other thread here on cardschat.

PokerStars is definetely the most competitive poker room, but for me as a beginner, may be its quite difficult to play there a this moment, never got to prizes, and too many players...But i try many rooms, only playing freerolls, and sometimes i do get into prizes, and this I consider the main indicator for me as an improvement.
