Hi all I am a play money player from Pokerstars. I have also played on Party Poker (very brief), Paradise ( my first online site) and one other one shortly and cant remember the name. I have also played at flipside.com (play money only).
I am sick of pokerstars, and am looking for a new site. I like the graphics, and play style they have put out. I played on Paradise, Party Poker and the other one and it didnt see to be near as nice a program from a visual standard. I did like flipside table set up and graphics but that is no longer around.
Now when I say graphics I dont care about fireworks going off if you win big hands or those kind of features just a nice smooth flow from the software and a nice looking table.
Ok now what I am looking for is peoples opinions on other sites I see in the posts I have read that many of you play multiple sites. Which ones and why do you feel are the best ones.
Please rate on graphics and playability not on fishes and winnings. I like to play for fun not looking to make loads of cash.

Thank I had already seen the review and no offense to the reviewer but, that wasnt what I look for in judging rooms.
I would like to hear opinions from a few people that have played on different sites.
Things like I also have played pokerstars but this site is close or little better.
Basically I like comparisions to what I might have experienced.
Thank you

I've played everywhere.
Best software:
FullTilt. They have nice software with a 'hip' look to it. The colors are bright and there are cartoon looking avatars that you can turn off if you don't like them. Lots of pros play higher limits there like Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson, John D'agastino and others. One of the great things about full tilt is you an completely customize the table. You can change the background to many different locations such as the beach, vegas skyline, outerspace. They also have 'plain' backgrounds and my favorite being 'midnite'. Another cool thing is anytime you want you can change the table perspective so you can sit in any seat location you wish. One of the things I liked best about Full Tilt is that when you go to make bets they have a 'bet the pot' button. This is very handy for me especially since I like to bet the pot. The only real thing I didn't like was that they don't have a timer for you to make decisions. You need to watch your name blink and when you start blinking quickly you time out. There are some noises as a warning but I much prefer a timer. In tournamest there is an info button that will tell you what position you are in and what level the blinds are in. It tells you how long till the next level ect. In sngs and heads up tournaments they have an 'I'm ready' button so once everyone clicks it you can start playing. Also during a break if everyone clicks the button before the break is over then you can resume play. I think overall this is the best software. Not the best place to play because the competition is stiffer than other sites but the grapics are second to none.
I can review graphics at any site you want but it would take me a while to do them all so I just chose my favorite. I can do others if you wish. Otherwise you can just download a couple and test them out.
