How about 888.com? I usually play there. There are some good players at 50/100 tables. I also love the web setting, just easy to navigate. But it's not like other poker rooms where you can see the people playing. You can only see your cards.

888 is a good site, their poker room is called Pacific Poker. I used to like to play there before they quit accepting players from the US. So if you are from a country other than the US, they might still be worth checking out. The action was always pretty loose (I think) because of the sportsbook and online casino. The players play alot like Bodog players.

They have slipped just out of the top 10 and are about 11th or 12th based on volume. If you've been struggling to win at a bigger site, you may want to check out a smaller site like Pacific Poker.

Wheels Turning Re: Top 10 Poker Sites

I started back in the early days of PartyPoker due to the PartyPoker Milions cruise ship promotion. It was small back then. They became big because they understood and applied great customer service while fielding an impressive set of player promotions.

I moved to PokerStars for a while, but when FullTiltPoker was launched, I checked it out during the WSOP, and decided to try it out. Easily the best graphics package out there. Today I play mainly at FullTiltPoker and PokerStars.

There "was" very interesting site Bugsysclub.com with good programs but alas they recently stopped, transferring all their players to PokerStars.

PartyPoker does not seem to want to give their site a modern, open look. PartyPoker vs FullTiltPker is sort of the online equivalent of Taj vs Borgata in Atlantic city or Sahara vs Venetian in Las Vegas ... they are stuck in a time warp.

My main computer is a Mac, and this limits me pretty much to PokerStars and FullTilt.

Out of those two I MUCH prefer PokerStars. FullTilt looks very nice, but I find the action moves too fast with the community cards. PS turns them one...by...one... still quick but it does build up a (tiny) amount more suspense. The hand-replayer on PokerStars is fantastic too I've found. Also, hate the avatar type things that sit on top of the players names on FT. I know you can turn it off but..... Oh, and I prefer the range of games on Stars.

Cranked up my old laptop the other day and tried a few others. PKR wouldn't run on my ancient hardware, and PartyPoker was okay but the client seemed to be a little flaky at times, and I didn't like the 'spotlight' way of telling you in was your turn.

So, its PokerStars all the way for me

Default Re: Top 10 Poker Sites

last 3 years I've been playing party and ipoker network
party. lot's of traffic on cash and sng's. This was the site I always returned to as it gave me the best win rate (terrible loyaalty programe though)
hating the new software on party
Ipoker network, I went through lots of these as they have a good joining bonus, and you can change your name on each skin. The games on this site used to be really soft, bit better now due to increased volume of players but still a good site (I only stopped playing them as poker office doesnt give a hud on small tables)

I have recently been playing on full tilt and stars, both of these sites are much tougher than party or ipoker, even at lower limits, their blind structures on turbo sng are also very different to party's turbo sngs, so took me a while to adjust (you can be HU on stars turbo sngs with 6k stacks and 200bb - where party late play is pushbot poker)

There seems to be alot off that list that make me money and you really don't have enough USA friendly sites up there and fultill and poker stars are making it very tough for USA players to deposit and withdraw not a lot of options there.

Feel another reccesion coming for usa players again and it X^@!&&

You can play all the ipoker network in Uk pounds, i.e CD poker, Titan, BetFred.

You can also play on Party Poker in UK pounds even if it was initailly set up in US$, you have to change your settings for UK pounds
