First off: Hi. First post here. Been lurking for a few months. Sampled a few other poker forums and this one seems to be the best. Lots of great conversation & well moderated.

Background but leading to my question: I've been playing at UB & Party for a few months now. Mostly Limit Hold'em ring games .25/.50, .50/1, & 1/2, but I do like the occasional NL SnG. Though I'm down so far, I'm on my way back to even & I consider myself better than beginner (poker patience improving).

My Question: I want to play at one more site and I've narrowed it down to 3 choices. I figured I'd solicit opinions to help my decision. I'm considering BoSPoker (I like that they support NASCAR & other motor sports), Poker Mountain (endorsed by Daniel & TJ, a couple of my faves), & Full Tilt (I like their crop of pros, too).

I know the 1st 2 are small & Full Tilt is known for tough players, but I'm not fazed by either point. I'm mainly concerned with what the play & promos are like on each and how easy it is to move money in & out of each via neteller. Thanks in advance.:hello:

Cheers,
MrSticker

Well, I've not played the first 2 and I think Full tilt is great (although to high of a deposit limit for my taste) but since I'm a Cardschatter I mainly play at Titan and Poker.com.....Both are nice sites with good interfaces and I've never had any problems with withdrawing money via neteller. These are also the sites that most of our tourneys are at.

I would say Fulltilt is the best of the 3 you are considering. I'm not so sure you will find the competition that tough though, they advertise quite a bit, which tends to attract more fish. At the levels you are playing at, the games should still be beginner level.

BoSPoker - I know nothing about it.

Poker Mountain - The only things I've heard about it are regarding how much it sucks. I look at screenshots and they're at least right about the graphics sucking. :p

Full Tilt - Not been playing there for long, but interface is passable and they have a decent playerbase. What I really like is the MTT/Sitngo blind structure there - quickish level increases but by small amounts. I haven't noticed their players being any tougher than the average site's in $5-$20 tourneys/SnGs, and from what I hear FT has some pretty crappy ring game players. It's only past the $20s I think where the better than average players the site has a rep for come into play. FT has a 100% first deposit bonus too, which is nice (though hard to clear at low limits, but it's awarded in 10% pieces iirc)

Use the forum link if you decide to reg on FT. Good luck making yer decision. :)

BoS - no help :eek: sorry

Poker Mountain - when i first looked it looked pretty empty as regards to players and haven't heard anything much to improve its standing since, a little surprised that it is still around (yes, it was that quiet)

Full Tilt - Have played there a fair bit on and off, they seem to at least cater for wide range of player, although the bonuses are a little tougher to get i feel.
I do quite like it although haven't been there for a while. :)

Good Luck

Thanks to those who responded. I'm now considering Titan because of everyone here who plays there. Maybe I'll try one of those freeroll thingys or a $5 doo-dad. I see some impromptu SnG's pop up from time to time, too. I'll make sure I use the forum links when I sign up for either Titan or FullTilt (or both).;)

Stick is always "different". My first post was in "Poker Rooms". LOL!

And the first reply was from my buddy, Freak.

LOL. No. BosPoker & Poker Mountain went under before I could check 'em out. And yes, Poker Mtn was a poker site and they sponsored TJ Cloutier and Daniel Negeanu for a short while.
