SteveB23 0 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Looking to make the jump from Riverstars to another site. I play mostly $10-$50 SNG's. Not to concerned about bonus' or anything like that. Just want a reliable site with some decent competition where it doesn't seem like everytime you are an 80% favorite, you lose :x Any help appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites

Makes no sense to me.But if you want to make the jump all of those are good sites...i would probably to Full Tilt. I know you don't care about the bonus but the %100 up to $600 is kinda nice Link to post Share on other sites
GodOfEntropy 0 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 UB and FT have great blind structures - Party has the worst players. Why not try them all? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 My pick would be for Full Tilt Poker. Some of the higher buyin SNGs, as in $100 and up might take some time to fill but they are definately worth it.FTP is by far the best software out there. As far as Ultimatebet is concerned... yes their SNGs are fast however they do have some of the best competition there. Some real rocks in their higher buyins as in $20 and up. IMHO FTP would be much more profitable and more pleasant to play at. Link to post Share on other sites
No_Neck 0 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 if you haven't played party poker go to www.instantbankroll.com and they will hook you up.natethegreek if you want to refer, if not that is coolthe party SNG's are so soft it isn't even funny Link to post Share on other sites

I perfer playing B&M but when I can't get to a live game I like to play around online.Sure its nice to win some cash aganist easy players but beating players who actually know how to play and taking their money is twice as nice Link to post Share on other sites

Full Tilt mediorce, and tougher players, party real bad players, but real bad structure too. I'd say UB (I also like paradise's sng's a whole lot..) Link to post Share on other sites
TheCinciKid 0 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Party has the worst players. FullTilt has the best SnG structure and a great bonus. From what you've said, I would think that FullTilt is probably the best place for you. Link to post Share on other sites

kdogg 0 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 FullTilt has great software, but they don't have as many players as PokerStars so the SNGs take longer to fill up. Link to post Share on other sites
SteveB23 0 Posted November 20, 2005 Author Share Posted November 20, 2005 Downloaded FT and looked around, I liked what I saw although I dislike the avatars (small issue but I like to be able to choose my own). I did notice that not as many players play there as someone just stated but I will definitly deposit some cash there and see what happens.Thanks for everyones input, it was appreciated.

pgrocard 0 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 I've tried a few sites--UB, Pacific, and Paradise, and Paradise poker is my fav so far. The bonuses are decent but not amazing, i just think the software is very straightforward and clean. Lots of players, lots of action, a bunch of good fish. Not as many big limit games as other sites, but SNGs taking off all the time. Just my 2 cents though. Link to post Share on other sites
Jdr999 0 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 UB is the best for SnG's. Good blinds, and if you want, they have turbo and ultra turbo SnG's.FYI: 6 handed SnG's are full of suckers. Link to post Share on other sites
pokerplayer24 0 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 pokerstars is the best online poker site hands down imo. I dont get why people are always complaining about it and saying more bad beats happen there than anywhere else. Link to post Share on other sites

Needless to say I have changed my tune recently. There is varience and just bad beats but when it consistently happens in similiar situations (late in tourneys, big stack on short stack, etc) it definitly makes you wonder.

WayneBullet 0 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 I love UB's SNG structure. I used to be a flat out play SNG on UB. That was until I found ring games on PartyPoker. Also, I don't like the way UB changed the way you are seated for SNG.I am glad I played UB for a long time though. The players there taught me a lot. I should probably go back just so those PartyPoker and Pokerstars fish are not rubbing off on me. Link to post Share on other sites
TobyOrNotToBe 0 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Full Tilt has excellent blind structures for sit n go's and great bonuses. Party has easier competition but blind structures suck.Pokah Stahs, nah. Link to post Share on other sites
Kangaroo 0 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 for some reason I cant get past the second screen when i try to register it just says there seems to be a problem on UB.Do UB and FT give out the same amount of horrendous rivers? Link to post Share on other sites

Fair enough. You'll see the same thing at PP. FT generally has tougher games so you'll take less absurd beats but your win rate will surely be lower. Link to post Share on other sites
theone 0 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 I like Full Tilt personally and Ive tried most. I too play mostly Sngs anymore and some occasional cash games. Its also kinda cool to watch some of the pros throw there money around. Link to post Share on other sites
DeanK 0 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 I still play at both UB and Party. They both have a good variety of games and a lot of traffic. Some say that UB has tough competition (compared to other sights), but I haven't really found that to be the case. Link to post Share on other sites
