studioxxvi 0 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 ...satisfies the following criteria?Hello all,I was wondering if I could pick your brains. Here goes! I'm looking for the best site that satisfies the following criteria:1. Limit Hold'em (2/4 to 10/20 Blinds) - I'm looking for a site where there is a high 10-seater game traffic. NL is the focus with some sites and has the most traffic, but I'm looking for a site that has a lot of Limit Hold'em players/tables.2. 1-on-1 - A site which has a 1-on-1 section (NL or Limit) which is popular with members. Some sites have 1-on-1 sections but not many of the members actually play them. So, a site with a high-traffic 1-on-1 section.3. SnGs - A site where it doesn't take ages to wait for an SnG to fill up (I prefer 10-seaters).4. MTTs - A site where they offer a wide variety of guaranteed pot MTTs but don't have 800+ people registering to play everytime. At that point it seems like a crap-shoot which I really dislike...5. (A site where players are not fools and know how to fold) - I know this is getting harder and harder to satisfy in this day and age but I prefer and am better at playing against better players...And before any of you suggest PartyPoker...Sorry, looking to get away from PartyPoker at the moment Reasons being: Don't have a 1-on-1 section; and MTTs are simply massive and it's very hard to make the most of any edge you might have. Yes, the traffic in the Limit Hold'em and SnG sections is high, I'm simply interested in trying something new... :)So, if any of you can offer any suggestions as to the best sites that satisfy the above (1-4 mainly and 5 would be a bonus), they would be gratefully received. It might be difficult to find such a site so any suggestions that can satisfy as many of the above as possible will also be welcomed.Thanks and I look forward to your responses!

TheJudge 0 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Well the best site for heads up games is Ultimate Bet by far. There are always games even up to the $100 level and the rake is only 5%.UB is also good for limit games and known for having above average players at the site.MTT's always have 800+ so not good for that but their blind structure's are pretty good.

semaj550 0 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 From my experience Ultimate Bet is most closely going to fill all of your criteria. I don't think you're going to find a site that satisfys you 100% though. Link to post Share on other sites
Petoria 0 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Ultimate Bet satisfies this very well. Contrary to a previous poster, most tournaments stay under 800 ppl, the only one that goes over that is the $1. Link to post Share on other sites

Just taking a guess though.um no, from what hes saying they arent the same thing. hes differentiating between heads up tournaments and one on one cash games which are definitely different.oh yea and pacific meets most of the requirements you stated. like others stated tho, you arent gonna get good players on there. like all sites there are some but there are definitely alot of fish, which personally i love.
