i've played at lots and lots ofsites so i can comment on this quite abit.
although i only play 0.25/0.5 NLHE, i'll try and say the best i can at my level.
the most success i had was at partypoker. yeah it's name and size deserves it's reputation, they have the best promotions, easy to clear and the easiest games. if you sit at a table and play tight and agressively, just playing good hands, then ur guaranteed to leave with a profit. although i hate, and i mean it, i HATE the looks of the site, the poor players and the promotions make up for it.
Pacific is the first site i played in, definitely easy as well. they have really nice sitngo's that vary in size and buyin. one of my favourites is the 10dollar buyin with 42 people, just amazing. when i used to play 5 dollar sitngo's 10 people, i think i was in the money 70% of the time (i'll say i played about 60 of those). ringgames are easy but the players are so loose and call you quite alot that it seems like u get tons of bad beats when they hit.
they occasionally have freerolls.
Absolute is where i play now mostly, their bonuses are easy to clear (1 dollar per 10 raked hands), u can mostly just fold the hands and only play blinds and get the bonuses. players are tight here though, that's one problem. Sitngo's are abit expensive if ur gonna play the 6 dollar sitngo. cuz the fee is 1 dollar. Tourneys are ok... freerolls are bleh... they do quantity over quality, running what was it 48 freerolls a day? but with 50 dollar prizepool and 2000 people, neh.....
Pokerchamps - i like the software, u can play upto 6tables at once without having to flip over screens because they all fit in a screen at once. players are average i must say, and they don't have that many sitngo variety. their guaranteed money tourneys are really nice because there are many times that the number of people registered don't go over the guaranteed money so it means you are playing for more money. (eg, if 45 people register for 5 dollar buyin, 250 dollar guaranteed, then there's an extra 25 dollars in the prize pool etc), the rakeback system is good but not great, only great if u are thinking of playing at amazingly high stakes for loong hours.
referral program is excellent though (if somebody wants to join please pm me first so i can be the one referring them
)
the freerolls are terrible though.
Noble poker- i really like the interface and everything. the freerolls are ok as well, though there is only 2 a day. lots of variety in the ringgames, and sitngos. i used to play in
noble aLOT. but i hate the bonus requirements, takes a lifetime to complete them so i don't bother. support is terrible as well, u always have to do thatlive chat to find out how many points u have etc, and they take a lifetime to respond. cashing out was also a fuss for me in
noble.... takes ages
Full Tilt- Definitely one of the best places. games are tough, but atleast that means u aren't getting bad beats as much, as people know when to fold!
the avatars look quite funny but still. 9 handed game is bettter than 10 handed games IMO. there are tables where u can play against the pros which is quite cool. freerolls are not good though. bonus is a bit hard to clear unless you are playing tourneys
(very good for tourneys)
forexample, u get 7 FTpoints per dollar in tourney/sitngo fee. each point equals 6 cents. that means if u pay a dolla in tourney fee, u get back 42% as a bonus. 42% rakeback? can't say no to that.
cashing out and depositing is fast. transfer moneybetween friend's acount is possible. etc etc, great site
Bodog - great place but i can't be bothered to write anymore so i won't.
they have really good sitngos, do'nt like the ringgames much though, people aren't that tough though. they have virtually no freerolls... maybe one in a lifetime.
