Your favourite online room and why???

i hope this isnt classified as adverstising or anything.

i hav 3 online accounts pokerstars, partypoker and full tilt poker. i started with party then stars then full tilt. i play mainly cash nl holdem, some tourneys, the levels i play range from 0.10.0.25 (if im broke) to 3/6(if im loaded Laughing ). most of the time im at 1/2 though.

from my experience party poker is a full of donkeys, at all levels. very hard to bluff these calling stations and if u find yourself trying to push them out of a pot then u are a donkey too. party is mostly 6max tables which is ok but i prefer full ring games, more action on your good hands (nothing worse than only picking up the blinds when u hav aces). depositing and withdrawing cash is quite good, as u dont need to use neteleer or anything they happily deposit directly into your bank account.

pokerstars is also good however i dont like the look of the software, looks quite old and crappy. withdrawing is a pain as u hav to go via neteller. the level of players is better than party so u can loosen up a bit if u like to play loose. plenty of 9max games going at all levels and seem to be more users than party, i am a big fan of their multi table turbo sngs, alot of fun when u get bored with cash games. overall a good site

full tilt is a really cool room, definately the best looking room with their cool avators and great layout, plenty of tables and limits to choose from. their 100% deposit bonus is great, if only they gav it to u straight away Laughing the level of players is pretty good, aboput the same as pstars (both alot hight than party). the best part is that u can watch the big name pros play at the outrageous 200/400NL tables, pretty cool (i dont think ive ever seen sbrugby aka brian townsend lose). overall a very good site with plenty of options.

my next deposit will probably be into party poker as i want to take some fish money Laughing all three rooms are good in their own way, and it is hard to decide which is the best. i have had most sucess with party poker but i like them all. if pstars looked as cool as full tilt id say stars was the best but it just looks heaps crappy Laughing

im gonna say stars just ahead of ft n party

let me just say this is very hard to do without a f*cking mouse.

Ill have to say that my favorite place to play is Pokerstars. I love the 180 person sngs. most all of my buddies play on PS, so theres nothing better than playing a MTT with Milkypirate, Leafsfan, misterjokerboy, ensano, and a few others to start playing with us soon. here recently at least one of us has been having success, milky winning the 18k, Leafs final tabling 15k and MJB getting final 3 tables of 15k last night. im unable to have that much fun on any other site.

For the longest time i was a diehard Absolute poker player. thats because i was final tabling virtually everything in site. But the fields are so small over there its really not hard, and theres not a whole lot of money in it when you do, i Final tabled a 1$ rebuy there about a week ago for 6$, i spent 4$ on buyin, initial rebuy to get me to 3k chips, and addons. not worth it at all IMO. if i want to make 2$ ill go finish 200th in a stars tourney.

As soon as Pokerstars adopts the UB or FTP blind structure, they will (IMO) be the best structure for tourneys. I love the 15 minute blinds, but the jump from 100/200/25 to 200/400/25 absolutely kills me, where is 150/300/25? at the end of the first hour on UB, the blinds are 30/60, would be nice if Pstars would do something like this.

just my 2 cents.

Yeah that jump from 100/200 to 200/400 is really painful unless you're sitting there with 10k+ in chips.

Personally Stars is my favourite site too, followed by Full Tilt.

I only play at fulltilt due to my Mac situation.

I played a little on Stars and loved that to, but am not sure I can go back to play without rakeback.

I wouldn't mind access to more sites just so I can bonus whore. But am pretty comfortable with Fulltilt.
