Default What Poker Site Do you like the best.

I like Full Tilt the best because of their amazing graphics but I think the site is very rigged, and I'm looking into alternative websites. Please tell me some good ones that are out there. Maybe PokerStars?

no major poker site is rigged. why would they risk losing it all when they already have a legal license to print money as it is?

personally, i like best, and only play on, pokerstars. IMHO best software with user options, excellent support, and best NLHE tourney choices which is what i play...

Post-count padding, anyone?

Kidding.

And TP don't worry about me padding my own count. I can't play in the freeroll anyway. I don't think.

Edit: Half-kidding.

Stars has the best software, but the lack of rakeback and tight cash games keep me away, the tourneys are excellent and plenty fishy.

Party has a nice clean layout that I kind of like and the fish are abundant. The downside would be that their support is some of the worst I've ever experienced.

The Prima sites while not great have a lot going for them, good software, weak players (although not enough of them and maybe fewer at higher stakes), good customer service, and high rakeback.

Absolute is my least favorite site by far, I really like the software but they have the tightest games that I've ever played in and their constant bonus offers are essentially just a low % rakeback .

Default my opinion

im kinda late on this but here are my favorites. I might have played more sites on here then anyone from the big ones to the very small ones.


tornies- pokerstars, I think pokerstars has the best tornies around from the small buyins to the very big ones.

cash games- Party poker, The most bad players around which make the cash games very good for any halfway decent player

fun games- there are alot of sites that offer some good old fun play but I like Jetset the most here.

I have also played alot of sites that I really cant stand, pacific poker I cant stand I think their interface is terrible and there support is really really bad. I really dont like any of the cryptic sites out there.

as for good support I like pokerstars and jetset they are very fast and friendly both systems offer great speed on their cashouts. Never dealt with party pokers support but I heae its pretty good the only complaint I have about party is that they dont offer firepay withdraws. If I had to put money in a system It would be a real toss up between pokerstars and jetset, I would probolly put it in jetset 1st seeing as I have alot of "friends" on that site and enjoy playing with them.

Someone is messing with you. Not only do they not help their customers in any way at all, the support doesn't even speak english. Makes it difficult when trying to get a problem smoothed out.

Pokerstars is definitely my favourite except the occasional bad beats make it tough to handle. I play on Absolute Poker and it is a fairly good site as well. For apperance and reputation I give it to Pokerstars.

If someone ever find a poker site where the best hand preflop always wins (in other words, no bad beats), please let me know. Because that site will obviously be "rigged," and I will never, ever, ever play there.

i just love playing on stars because of their big person tournies and pots. ive been playing on full tilt for quite some time now and i dont think you receive bad beats nearly as much as you do on stars. but i like full tilt because of their small person tournies and i think i play better on that site too (who knows?)

PokerStars is by far the best. It has great play and real money ring tables. The tournaments are also amazing.

Yes this is also my favourite site. the only reason why people think it is rigged is as follows:
Online Poker is much faster, meaning more hands dealt, meaning more variety meaning more bad beats.
The more hands dealt and bad beats make people get on tilt and believe its rigged.

Pokerstars and Absolute poker!

Default Poker Pages

My personal favorite is Poker Pages, because if you play for fun, you are able to build up BBP points (Bugsy Points), and you can exchange them out for 10 real dollars if you can get 1000 of them. This is an easy way to get money without even depositing!

MY top 3 sites are pokerstars, absolute poker, and jetset poker. I like pokerstars b/c they offer the most variety in tournaments and sitngos, absolute poker b/c of the amount of freerolls there and there money gauranteed tournies, and jetset b/c of there head hunter tournies.

my favorite and only favorite site is pokerstars. the deposit bonous isnt really why you should play a site. the deposit bonous is to attract money hungry people. i choose pokerstars b/c of the number of skilled people. i go for the game first then the money. if you put the money first before the game,in my opinion, you will never be able to fully enjoy and appreciate the game itself.
