I finally got around to openeing a neteller account, and I've alotted myself $75 to play around with. I just can't decide where to go with it. Here are my choices:

Ultimate Bet: I have $21 Bonus Dollars I won in a tournament that are pending at this site, but I believe the minimum deposit is $50.

Absolute Poker: This was one of my top 2 favorite places to play until last week. I have a few dollars here that I've won in freerolls and microlimit ring games, and I adore their selection of games and limits, particularly the really cheap and plentiful sit and gos. I think their minimum deposit is $25, however, I had a problem with a sit and go tourney last week which I emailed support about, and it still hasn't been resolved. It only involves .60, but the lack of response makes me extremely wary. Customer support is very important to me as a general rule.

True Poker: I have $50 sitting there that I won in the newbie freerolls awhile back, but I've emailed their support a couple of times with questions and I have never gotten a response back from them. I don't know of anyone who has much experience with this site, so again, I am wary of putting actual cash here.

Jetset Poker: My current favorite place to pay. The down side of investing any money here is that I'm doing fine and my baby bankroll is steadily progressing on it's own. Of course, I would be able to take advantage of the deposit bonus.

You guys might even have other suggestions, and I'd love to hear them or your opinions on the abovementioned choices.

Thanks a bunch!

Hi,
I throughly suggest you give paradise poker a try...minimum deposit is only $10 and they offer neteller so thats pretty cool. I think they offer the best graphics around and quite possibly the best range of tournaments.
Full tilt is pretty cool too.

I play at a lot of sites and I don't really have a favorite. Might I suggest getting the free $25 from Empire and leaving your money in Neteller for a bit. I believe the site Tazz mentioned is the forum link may also provide for this as well. One quick way to free bonus money is to make the deposit so play with their money until you want to take some out...

I'd recommend Stars or Party.

The cash tables and SNGs at Party are full of fish.

Stars has the best tournament selection ANYWHERE...PERIOD.

A quick update on Absolute Poker: After 5 days of no response, I emailed them stating that I had been planning on making a deposit to their site this week, but I was worried because I couldn't get this problem resolved. Within the hour, I got an email stating that they had reviewed the situation and refunded my account the .60 entry fee for that tourney. I guess money really does talk...lol!

Minimum is $50 at Paradise. If you really only get a $10 minimum StackThemUp, I would love to know how to do that! Pass a line this way and let me know your secret! :listen: :deal:

OH Girl! Don't give Absolute any of your money! They seem to be a microlimit player's dream site but their minimum cash out is 50 bucks and overall they can be a pain in tushy! Personally I think for Ring games either Party or Pacific Party wins because of their cashout time usually less than a couple hours. Tournaments our man cubbie is right on when it comes to pokerstars being the place for tournaments. If you like a smaller site the Prima sites are pretty profitable but take a couple days to cash out, in general anyway. There is always Full Tilt as well their bonus is a chapped arse to clear but the software is awesome and the players at the low limits are idiots for the most part. Good luck with it. The reviews have the minimum deposits listed if you are looking for small minimums also keep Noble in mind as they just got bought by Empire and who knows what will happen with that!

No to Absolute Poker

I would not invest in absolute poker. I have three complaints going on with three different tourneys i played in and have yet to here one reply. I would not even play freerolls there. I have had problems with other sites and some of them i did not get a resolve my way but they at least responded and looked into my problems. Dont give them any money!!!

Well, I went ahead and put $25 on Ultimate Bet since I had the Bonus Dollars there, and I'm used to playing there.

Thanks for the heads-up about the $50 min. withdrawal from Absolute! That does give me pause.

Stars and Party seem soooooo HUGE....like there are too many people there. Stars was the first poker site I downloaded to play with play chips, but I'm not sure about real money there.

I currently suffer from what I like to call "The Noble Curse", meaning I seem to have zero luck there...lol.

I'm tempted to put some on Full Tilt just so I can play the weekly $1 Razz tourney.

I guess I'll just see how it goes at UB for now, but any other suggestions would be great. I really value yall's input and opinions.

Jetset is pretty flexible. Only problem is that 25/50 cent is the lowest limit games they have. I am slowly grinding my way to a bankroll for the limit there. But, it is taking a long time.

I love Jetset. They do have lower limits there. I play them with my freeroll stash. I ought to put some money there. I'm dying to try one of the headhunter tournies. It sounds like such fun.
