Which online Poker site do you use?

[WhingForPresident]

I've just made the step-up from Sky Poker to join the big boys at Full Tilt. The layout and rewards are superb, but there are so many American fish that just get lucky constantly. In a 4 player heads up shootout earlier, i made the final, had the other guy down to 500 chips, shoved my stack with a,4 off, he calls with a,4 off, and hits a f***ing flush. Shit like that has been happening contantly and it's f***ing me off royally.
I was just wondering, is this the same with all Poker sites, or is it just me? Are there any better sites out there than FTP that preferably don't allow Americans?

Stopped playing but have a one off game on bet365 sometimes.

Stars is the best by a mile from previous experience though.

I've got the PS software downloaded but have never gotten round to playing it. May give it a go- cheers
Well played on the Doyle Brunson avatar by the way. Legend.

Pokerstars.

Ladbrokes, only because they offered (still offering) a £50 chip credit to your account plus a free £5 bet in the sportsbook.

PKR.com is interesting but very complicated to navigate IMHO.

Are you going to join the fun on the NSC poker nights on FT??

Full Cheat Poker more like!

PKR is the daddy of online poker

It properly confuses me with all the f***ing around with different angles.

Just too much to think about when your trying to watch the other players and you only have 15-20 secs to act.

Eh?!

PKR looks like a bit of a gimmick to me with the whole avatars and celebration things if i'm honest. Can't stand all that. Even the FTP Avatars piss me off a bit. I'm a leprechaun at the moment, and it's bringing me no end of luck.

Bit hard to say on this hand, you dont give the full picture, eg position, blinds, your stack, etc. A4 off seems a perfectly good hand to make a stand with your last few chips when things look desparate, especially heads up. Luck plays a bigger part in poker than you think and yes, it happens on other sites all the time. And in live games, I've seen some real sick stuff. Over time though, if your decision making is sound you will turn a profit, the key is to handle the bad beats, they are unavoidable.

I play at Paradise Poker....its alright.

I've tried several and Full Tilt is the best bar none, bad beats will happen on every poker site and in live play, thats poker as they say, its something you have to accept or just give up playing poker and if the full tilt avatars piss you off wing why not go into options and table view and remove them or change to the racetrack view.

Blinds were 50/100, i had 5,500 other guy had 500, i shoved on the button pre-flop with Ah 4d, he called it down with As, 4c, three clubs on the flop then another on the turn. Not happy at all. It doesn't show he was a fish, perfectly entitled to call, but it was jut such a cold deck.

Cheers LUMC, didn't realise you could do that, will take your advice

Betfair poker works for me...very fair and no stupid limits on the amounts you have to deposit or withdraw...
