yeah I agree... I've been pretty profitable in my .10/.25 NL games there.

There's a mix, just like any other site, although the closure of Party to Americans has admitadly brought some extra action players.

with party down ftp has picked up a lot of new people. Their tables are still much tighter than party but if you practice decent game selection you can find juicy tables...there just arent as many as you would expect at party

I think that American players adding action and donkiness to a site here or there is wrong. Party has apparently gotten even better as far as the quality of play dropping since US players dropped, and I know from playing on Tribeca, where there are not so many Americans, that the play is aggressive and loose on euro/canadian-heavy sites.

Full Tilt/UB are US rockgardens. It makes sense if you think about it, although UB is trying to make itself fishier. Full Tilt/UB are poker sites. They offer poker, cater to poker players, and Full Tilt especially advertises that you'll be "playing with the Pros", this site is professional and tough, etc. UB did the same thing but now I'm seeing party-themed, ignorant home-game-themed commercials from them on TV.

Fulltilt is not a rock garden, it just depends when you play midnight EST-3am EST it is pretty much like party use to be IMO.

ROCK GARDEN ROCK GARDEN ROCKGAAARDEN!

heh

I've had a lot of success at FT, eps 1-2 nl and even 5-10 nl at a full table with a couple of donks throwing down.

What's this about american players at FT still? Will it let me deposit of I have an account as an American?
