Default What Poker Site Do you like the best.

I like Full Tilt the best because of their amazing graphics but I think the site is very rigged, and I'm looking into alternative websites. Please tell me some good ones that are out there. Maybe PokerStars?

no major poker site is rigged. why would they risk losing it all when they already have a legal license to print money as it is?

personally, i like best, and only play on, pokerstars. IMHO best software with user options, excellent support, and best NLHE tourney choices which is what i play...

Yes this is also my favourite site. the only reason why people think it is rigged is as follows:
Online Poker is much faster, meaning more hands dealt, meaning more variety meaning more bad beats.
The more hands dealt and bad beats make people get on tilt and believe its rigged.

Pokerstars and Absolute poker!

Post-count padding, anyone?

Kidding.

And TP don't worry about me padding my own count. I can't play in the freeroll anyway. I don't think.

Edit: Half-kidding.

Stars has the best software, but the lack of rakeback and tight cash games keep me away, the tourneys are excellent and plenty fishy.

Party has a nice clean layout that I kind of like and the fish are abundant. The downside would be that their support is some of the worst I've ever experienced.

The Prima sites while not great have a lot going for them, good software, weak players (although not enough of them and maybe fewer at higher stakes), good customer service, and high rakeback.

Absolute is my least favorite site by far, I really like the software but they have the tightest games that I've ever played in and their constant bonus offers are essentially just a low % rakeback .

PokerStars is by far the best. It has great play and real money ring tables. The tournaments are also amazing.

most of the pros represent pokerstars so it must be pretty good and i played on fulltilt and it was terrible, it seemed like it was rigged whenever i got a good hand

Default Poker Pages

My personal favorite is Poker Pages, because if you play for fun, you are able to build up BBP points (Bugsy Points), and you can exchange them out for 10 real dollars if you can get 1000 of them. This is an easy way to get money without even depositing!

MY top 3 sites are pokerstars, absolute poker, and jetset poker. I like pokerstars b/c they offer the most variety in tournaments and sitngos, absolute poker b/c of the amount of freerolls there and there money gauranteed tournies, and jetset b/c of there head hunter tournies.

I would have to say my favourite would have to be pokerstars. I enjoy the smooth graphics and fluent gamplay. I have tried other sites most arent as fast gameplay wise and the graphics get tiring on ur eyes after while. The only one that I can say come close to stars is tilt. Mostly because of the wide range of pros they have on it. I have mixed it up with a couple myself.

I like pokerstars the best, however, when i can no longer stand the bad beats i go over to full tilt poker, i like the fact that u can sit with a pro and know ur playing one, i like what u can get with the FPP there, there are some nice jerseys and shirts there also have some nice hats

Default best poker site

let me tell you that i play on alot of didderent sites and i personally think that a few sites are good for different reasons.

1. ultimate bet- they have nice tables, if you enjoy nice tabes and want to site on a nice table then the graphics on ultimate bet is the best. Also they have cool competions and pleny of guarentees, the players are tight and pretty good.

2.Prima poker- prima poker in my opinion is the best place to play because you can always find any sort of game that you want, prima poker has 20-40 sites that are interconnected and are great to play on. the graphics are not that good but they have alot of guarentees and tha level of play is not so good.

3.pokerstars- i enjoy pokerstars because tha\ey intergrate both nice tables and plenty of multi competitions, alot of pros so watch out!
