Well, some sites suck. For example, some don't give enough time, some don't have an all-in policy for disconnections. Tell me what sites you do or don't like. Not for freeroll or bonus reasons, I plan on maybe going bonus hunting, cashing out and playing in the best poker site.

Also, which sites are just skins for other popular sites? I've seen some general similarities between software and I suspect that the servers are sometimes the same (although sometimes different)

It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

PokerStars for tourneys, especially SNG's.

Party Skins for bonus whoring and easy ring games.

Full Tilt for silly cartoon charachters

Just read the reviews of all the sites on this website, they give you a pretty accurate feel for the site.

I am a big fan of Full Tilt myself...

The software is so slick and smooth....never hiccups....and the RNG is by far the best IMO, it should be with the likes of Andy Bloch adding input.

Not quite enough players yet, but I believe it will boom since the WSOP is now airing and is advertised hardcore.

Based, I'm sure, on a thorough analysis based on solid number theory.

To actually contribute, I've had no beef with Paradise's software so far. Their servers have been dying the past couple of days tho.

No...um, is their blind structure really slow and low too, making the game go too long?

If the structure matches that of the 1.5k, yes.

The idea is this:

A faster blind game favors the worse player (more than a slower structure). Bad right? Wrong, you want a game that attracts lesser players than yourself. When they can win a party sng with a short streak of hot cards, they come back for more. And more. It's just like the college home game I played in. For tournies, they set it up as short stacks and fast blinds for a shitload of gamb0l. I was put off at first but then I realized theres always one guy who walks away with a couple hundred bucks, tells his buddies and they all show up at the next 50 buyin cash game and dump twice that.

Well okay, you have me there, I have read a couple things about it and have had a thurough discussion with Andy Bloch about it (He has a degree in Electrical Engineering along with others, and I am a mechanical engineer so we were able to chat a lot about how it worked)

Thats what I am basing this off of......
