 Just thought since I have been a member for like a week now I thought I would make a post that might get some feed back.

Just wondering where everyone plays and why they play there. Is it the promotions or the games or the tournaments.
I have friends telling me where to play but I want a non biased oppinion.

Thanks everyone.

 Welcome, make sure you read all the beginners digest that can be found here:
Beginners Digest: LEARNING STARTS HERE

What game are you playing? what stake? what site are you currently playing?

You can read about poker sites here: Poker Room Reviews | Online Poker Ratings Rankings | Poker Bonus Codes

but ill sum it up basically IMO

POKERSTARS

PROS: Largest site, great interface

CONS: Rakeback isnt too great for mircostakes

FULL TILT

PROS: 2nd largest, better Rakeback for micro stakes make sure you sign up for rakeback BEFORE you make a account for full tilt

CONS: dunno i dont play there

OTHER

PROS: may have weaker players, lots of bonus whoring can be done

CONS: lot less players, may not work with PT3 or HEM

hope that helps

 i play at pokerstars because it has the largest player pool, the rake is the best i can get seeing as i can't have rakeback on full tilt, the software is good, and it's perhaps the most secure network to do business with. also supports hold'em manager.

another con: potentially dubious depending on where you live, how skeptical you are of online gaming sites. i think FT and PS are defnitely the most reliable sites in terms of $$ security, ease of transactions etc.

also i'm not sure about the rake changes at stars, but not long ago i think stars was better than FT for rake at microstakes even with rakeback on FT. may have changed since then. i'm too ignorant to know.

 There's a ton of information that goes into making this decision. If you want to IM me on Yahoo or MSN (I'm jesseeddleman@yahoo.com on both) I'll talk about it with you if you'd like.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
