How many poker sites do you have ?

[Flushdraw269]

im curious to know how many poker sites you have downloaded and which ones are your favorites. Tell me the benefits for your favorite sites.

[liladypokerpro]

I have somewhere around 15-20 sites... though most of which are rarely played on these days... Mostly they were downloaded for certain deals, promos, etc. My favorites used to be the Merge skins, but due to legal issues in the state where I live, I can no longer get withdrawals from any site on the Merge network.

Soooo, I've been playing a little bit on Stars, just little cheapy SnGs... trying some different tourney structures, etc. I don't get to play nearly as much as I would like to due to working full time for the first time in ages, but this is giving me an opportunity to try different things as well as to go back to reading and analysis in what little spare time I now have... that way whenever I DO get back in the groove, my game will not have gone stale.

One thing I like about Stars is they have a great deal of variety to offer. Many different games, structures, limits, variations, you name it... and there are enough people playing there to fill up anything fairly quickly without much of a wait. That was a downside to the Merge skins... they didn't have much of a player base so if you played something other than Hold em, you had to wait a looooooong time to fill up a game.

I've played Full Tilt, Poker Stars, Ultimate Bet, Absolute Poker, Poker Nordica, and Doyle's Room. It's easily Full Tilt/Poker Stars at the very top. Doyle's Room is at the very bottom. So much in fact, that I cannot imagine a worse place to play.

Full Tilt is nice for the amount of traffic and rakeback. But I feel that Poker Stars has a lot better blind structure overall. I might add a bit more to this later, but my fries just got finished cooking and I'm really craving something unhealthy right now.

Full Tilt and Cake are the only places I play.

I have accounts at Full Tilt, PKR, PokerStars, Absolute, UB, Doyles, Paradise maybe some others also, but my favorites are PKR and Full Tilt. I think PKR is the best one for me, they have quite a lot of freerolls and I am simply more lucky at that poker room i do not know why but I am always loosing at Poker Stars so i am not playing there anymore.

[uofmichrn]

I have 4 accounts, fulltilt, pokerstars, UB and doyles room. I mostly play only tournies on stars they have a lot to offer and very good structure to them. I do both cash and tourney on fulltilt although fulltilt a little behind stars as far as structure and tourney variety, I rarely play tourney on doyles room has awful structures but like the rake at 33% and cash games are kind of soft. UB has some deepstack tournies I like but have had little success in cash game arena on UB.

I started playing in boss media casinos (betclic poker and after mermaid poker). Now i have accounst in boss media, fulltilt, absolute poker, titan poker, everest poker and poker pokerstars.

I almost doesnt play at boss media titan and everest. My favourite is by far pokerstars cause i can play much more sitngos (lots of players) and its the only one i started to have a real profit.

USA can't play in PKR freerolls... or maybe it's just the state I live in... I was very disappointed to wait so long for the MASSIVE software to download, only to find they had blocked me from playing real money due to my location.

PKR is cool and has wonderful graphics, etc... but I would double-check your location to be sure you can even play there before wasting 30 minutes of your life downloading it

[C8H10N4O2]

PKR isn't offered to any US residents as far as I'm aware.

[grndizzle]

I have almost all poker sites available to players in the US on my computer. I play most of my poker on AP because of Rakeback, but I also play a lot of MTT's on Cake cause they've been good to me.

[KINO2WIN]

I am surprised to see that people likes PKR. As far as i know lots of people complain with PKR, the software is very inovative but its really bad for multi table play.

If iam wrong, please tell me.

Why do you hate Doyle's Room. I've never been there but was thinking about grabbing the $600 bonus.

[tony]

Yep PKR is not US friendly, so it is not your state its the whole US who cant play there lilady.
Never multi tabled at PKR but single table runs smoothly and I found zero issues with the graphics etc.

[gerhardt]

The problem is not PKR. It's a great site, but I'm limited to 2gigs of airtime and PKR takes to much of it.

[C8H10N4O2]

Why do you hate Doyle's Room. I've never been there but was thinking about grabbing the $600 bonus.

The interface is absolutely terrible. It's really painful to navigate through the mess. If you are going to play cash only, it might not be as big of an issue, but as soon as I tried to play some HU sng's... I realized the site would never work for me. Also, the slider for betting is insanely annoying for me. Several times I would try to click to bet 3x the bb, and it would try to bet half my stack... or I'd want to bet half my stack and it'd try to bet 3x the BB.

Additionally, I'm going through hell trying to get a cashout from them right now. They are requiring more from me than any other network I've ever played. They have "24/7 Live Chat" which is nice... but it's been insanely buggy with me when it was actually up and running. I've been dealing with customer service since I requested my cashout back on Saturday, and FTP is worlds above Doyle's Room... and FTP's customer service is not really up to par with what most people expect. There was also a time since Saturday where the "server went down" and "poker was offline." I tried to log in and was unable to. However, when I clicked on the cash game tab, I could load up tables and see people playing. I later came back (6-8 hours) and checked again, same message for me, and just as many people playing on the tables, so I'm not sure what was really going on, but it was bizarre.

Their tournament traffic isn't really anything to be proud of, and the SnG traffic isn't much better. The cash games though have a lot of traffic and seemed to be pretty soft. You can't use a HUD though, so if you rely on a HUD to mass multi-table, forget it there.

Just like UB and AP, there are charges for withdrawals as well. I mean, if I were getting top customer service, perhaps paying 3% for an echeck would be worth it (doubtful), or if I were playing higher limits and regularly cashing out a few grand, paying $50 for a courier check might be worth it... but having to pay for a cashout when it seems like it's the absolute last priority on their list is unbearable. The reps don't even seem to understand how to handle cashouts as I've been asked for the same information numerous times. It's just really really frustrating.


Edit: Now to add to this, I just found out for some unknown reason, they decided to redeposit the money into my poker account. So now I have had to resubmit everything, and I have to wait for another 72 hours before they will be able to process the cashout. These people do not make sense and can't explain why they are having me do what they having me do. I'm wondering how many times I'm going to have to submit this cashout request before they'll finally decide to hit the "send" button.

I'm going to play in the bounty tournament since "first time players get a refund of the buy-in amount" and then if I don't succeed in making enough to cash out, I'll try to get the minimum cashout amount, cash out the min, and then never return to this site. Sorry, but Doyle's room is just too frustrating to deal with.

FullTiltPoker, PartyPoker, AbsolutePoker, TitanPoker, DraculaPoker

[mexia]

I recently read a post, on here ,that highly recomends Poker Nordica". ( although I forget by whom. ) I haven't as yet played on there as I am waiting for the confirm from them to get started to make my initial deposit.

I am wondering why you people have not mentioned this site as a good/bad place to play.

Please rescue me before I deposit real money there.

We did mention it, though not directly. Poker Nordica is on the Merge Network, which was mentioned previously. I loved Poker Nordica until legal issues with the United States caused problems for US players in some States to no longer be allowed to deposit or withdraw there. As stated earlier, the only beef I ever had against the sites on the Merge Network is that they have a pretty small player base and most all of them play Hold 'em only - so if you like Stud or Omaha or anything else that is NOT Hold 'em, you will not be able to fill up a game quickly there.

[xoRlVERox]

i only have Full Tilt Poker,main reason is,i can play my best game on full tilt.


Othersites i dont like out of the make up etc.

And if you play just 1 or 2 sites you can focus alot more,and play ur A-Game.
