i know this is not popular, but i disagree that stars is tough.
i have played there for over a year and a half, and its my best/softest sight. i carry a much higher
winrate there than anywhere else i have played.
dont like absolute (rocks), pokerroom (no
action), ultimate bet (that may be
variance, i think the players are bad, i just cant beat them for some reason...they
showdown crap). have not tried bodog, but hear its good for crappy players. fulltilt is my 2nd best site; have consistently posted a winning rate there, though not more than a couple BB/100.
once party disappeared, stars and fulltilt got the majority of their traffic...thats where the
fish went, you may have to play at lower levels, though. why would i play at 100, if my
winrate is 8-10 at the 25 NL tables, and only 1.5-2 at the 100's? less risk, same or a little better profit.
