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.

What is wrong with you lol....Swim the the fish man...Why would you want to jump into a harder game? 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

UB and FT have great blind structures - Party has the worst players. Why not try them all?

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.

I'm not one of these people who are looking to get rich playing online. 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 :D

Ub easy. pokerstars also has a good structure. 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..)

SN: BigDMcGee on Stars and UB. I do NOT have a full tilt account because those Richers won't give me rakeback.

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.

If you go to fulltilt, PM and I can set you up with rakeback there.
Only after you have lost everything, are you free to do anything.

FullTilt has great software, but they don't have as many players as PokerStars so the SNGs take longer to fill up.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I was like you, didn't think PS was as bad as everyone said they were. 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.

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.

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.
