Poker Sites

Ok, first lets begin with where to play online:
i myself have played on 3 sites, Pokerstars, Betfair and Pacific poker/888.com
so here are my views on these sites

Pokerstars: i believe this is known as the daddy of all sites, and honestly i can't really disagree, anytime day or night you wont have any trouble finding a tourny or game, tourny selection is vast, cash games start from micro limits right up to the high rolers. Now i may be one of the few people not on broadband yet, but even on dial up, the speed of the game is fine, no pauses or anything like that. Plus the all in protection is quite handy if you do get cutt off the clock gets stoppped, the software looks fine and is easy to use, all in all a very good site.

Betafir: oh dear! well i first used betfair a while ago before there new software, at that time it looked ok, speed was alright, easy to use, and games were ok. HOWEVER, since their new software came out, unless it is because i don't have broadband, i found it impossible to use!! Constant pausing, and my hands being folded before i even had a chanc e to press a button!! definately one to avoid in my experience

Pacific/888: this is a well known site they advertise a fair bit so i think the level of traffic is good most of the time, the is a decent range of games, the software looks ok and is easy enough to use, speed also is good. Now i have heard a lot of people saying that this site is full of fish, probably being one of them i don' t know, however i have seen some horrendous players on there, so that said... anyone for fishing?

Now the main draw backs of the american sites as in stars and 888 is the time, they run on usa time which can be like 4-5 hrs behind uk, so the big tounry's usual start late and finish even later!!!

not that i play in them yet, but one day... so does anyone know of any decent uk sites? with big tournys at decent times and not finishing after breakfast the next morning??

i would welcome any views on any other poker site

i.e
Full Tilt- i had a look and seems ok, might check it out, however usa time again

Partypoker- another big advertiser with a big fish%
Virgin? anyone got any comment
William Hill?
Ladbrokes?
Bodog?
Absolute Poker?
Ultimate Bet?
any others?
