For the last 2 weeks I've been trying out Full Tilt poker.
If you havn't tried it yet I highly recommend it, particularly for you sharks. I've been able to make 10x my deposit of $50 over the two weeks playing maybe an hour or two a day.
You get a good feel for the people playing mainly due to the low player base, but a lot of the players seem weak compared to jokerstars. You get a lot of limpers and a lot of easy folds from a check raise on scare cards.
I believe it's going to be one of the more fishy online poker sites due largely to the pro's playing and the cute'sy type interface (which is very pleasing astatically and very quick).
MTT's, SNGs and other game types (omaha, 7CS) have yet to catch on so your limited to playing 1 table of each level, sometimes 2.
You get 10% (I think ) of the Rake Back to you, I've got back upwards of $15 so far. The more you play, the more they pay.
Also you receive a free tourney token good for a 24 dollar satellite to a 200K tourney that runs every week after signing up and playing a few raked hands (I got my token the first night).
2 other notes on Full Tilt, if you earn or win the 200k (can't remember which now) you receive a custom cartoon like the pros have. Also they have bounties on the pro's during a tourney, bust a pro out and win a prize. |

I got crushed last night along with maxxscam as well. One or two bad calls on my part, one I played too slow, and several times got outdrawn on the river. That was the first session in a few weeks where I lost over a hundred.
That was my first time on a 2/4 NLHE table. That was rough. I think I'll stick to .50/1.00 for now. Maybe dabble in 1/2. |

My user name is IPFreely 
I Stick mainly to the .25/.50 and .50/1 NL tables, except this morning I limped into a 3/6 limit table and took one of the pros for over $100 bones. |

| yeah i dropped over 900 last night and this morning, i was up about 2200 over last 3 weeks but am not only up about 1200, i feel i can play at the 2/4 level and i just got very unlucky, twice i flopped top two pair to a small set and was just called down, once i flop two pair against better two pair, and i got rivered twice on 2 outters. but i am gonna take a break and not deposit any more cash in Full Tilt for a little while, ill just play the 200k and if i win any cash in that ill use that to play with |

But what if you are the fish? 
Edited:
OK, I played Poker Stars for a week and felt like a fish. I lost my stack very rapidly. However, Full Tilt is going much better and I do like the format and goofy icons. |

| not really a bad beat he had alot of outs, but i figured i could push him off a flush draw if he had one, or perhaps my flush may have been high enough if i did hit, and i knew my top pair was ahead at the time. maybe i am off but was i favored in the hand after the flop came down? |

Thanks for the information regarding the Full Tilt site. I read with interest until I saw the dancing gal from Maxxscam's posts....then I became mesmorized with her dance.  One quick thought. If you can find a way to have her as your avatar, I guarantee you'll distract every poker player online and rake in da money.
