I have been playing hold em for a coule of years now, mainly on FullTilt, I have decided I want to give another site a go.
Although obviously enjoying making the money - against fish, I prefer playing against better players at $10/20 tourneys, any reommendations apart from Poker Stars as far too many in each tournements???

I don't understand why people say this over and over again. There's nothing special about Pokerstars, it doesn't give out any more bad beats than probability dictates it should. Would you prefer they rig their software so no bad beats are ever dealt out?

Everyone knows Stars is rigged. You just have to accept it.
but if it's rigged against you, isn't it rigged in FAVOUR of someone else?
That's the part that always confused me about idiots who claim it's rigged.....like stars gives a rat's ass who wins a hand in a $1 45-man SnG.

So it's you, is it? I knew there had to be someone. You're working for them, aren't you?

So true. I get schnarfed on the river no matter what the site is...

I agree with this.
I find that on PS, if you are in a tournament and you get AIPF against someone with more chips than you, about 90% of the time you lose. It doesn't matter if you had the best hand or worst hand going in. The guy with more chips seem to win the hand.

You're from the UK. Party Poker is the place to be if you can.

ALL ONLINE POKER IS RIGGED. NOT THAT IT IS AGAINST ONE PERSON OR FOR ANOTHER BUT THEY MAKE MONEY WHEN YOU BET AND OTHER PEOPLE CALL. NO CALLED HANDS NO MONEY FOR THE SITE. THEY DONT CARE WHO WINS THEY JUST WANTS LOTS OF PLAY WHICH MEANS MULTIPLE GOOD HANDS OUT THERE. IN ONE HOUR ON PARTY POKER I HAD QUADS A STR8 FLUSH AND A ROYAL ALL USING BOTH MY CARDS. LIVE IN 5 YEARS OF PLAYING 1 ROYAL 1 STR8 FLUSH. IF YOU SAY WHY WOULD THEY CHEAT? BECAUSE THEY CANNOT BE CAUGHT. ASLO $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ IF THEY MAKE 250 MILLION LEGALLY OR RIGG SOFTWARE AND MAKE 500 MILLION WHICH ARE THEY GOING TO DO. WHY DID A-ROD SIGN WITH TEXAS WHEN HE COULD HAVE GOTEEN 180 MILLION ELSEWHERE. CUZ THEY PAID 250 MILLION
