Everyone's got a different answer to the question of which is the 'fishiest', but I doubt many have actually done a meaningful comparison between sites.

I've been bonus whoring around different sites, have cleared a few bonuses over a bunch of hands, and I've got my own opinions, but I wouldn't say there's all THAT qualified. There's so many variables like time of day, and just the fish that you happen to run into. Could be you go on a huge cooler at a site and only ever get into big hands with nits or the opposite of whatever.

I'd be interested in seeing some analysis of avg avg pot sizes / %flop or something, but even that raises questions of how it may be calculated differently across different sites.



...that being said, my less than expert opinion on the subject is that, if all you're after is fish:

ongame = UB > FT = stars

UB has been really fishy latley. Seems like since they have been pushing their ads on TV play has gotten even worse. A lot of players running with stats like 30/12 etc.

Yep.

Shame the FR traffic at the 100NL/200NL level seems to have really died off lately. Still fishy, but just not many tables...s'why I just bailed on em'.

UB's 100NL 6-max tables are really soft. But the rake at the BBJ tables is a killer.

Yeah, is this different than Absolute poker scandal, or the same one?

The UB scandal is GOOD for it cause all the respectable players have bailed, leaving nothing but a sea of fish.

So...as long as you're not playing the higher limits?
