where is the best place to play?

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:

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.

where do you live, what games do you play, what experience do you have

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