Poll 1 - On Line Sites ... Highest Standard of Play

Culchie

Which on line site has the highest standard of play?

Using a $20 STT as point of reference.

Generally all the same

I think I'm probably the only person here who plays on Full Tilt. Without a doubt the play there is way tougher than any other site I've played.

Party Poker

For STTs I've found PokerStars to have the highest quality. If only because everyone is really tight which works well in an STT.

I've played at that level on PokerStars, Party Poker and Paddy Power, and found the level of play to be similar on all three sites. If you play very tight for 25 minutes, three or four runners in a $20 STT will have knocked themselves out.

At that level then you will find they are mostly the same. However if you move up to $50 you wil start to notice a big difference between sites. Pokerstars, Full tilt and Ultimate Bet would be the hardest to win because they offer longer structures allowing good players to play their game.

One point to note in the poll, the players on Ladbrokes are different to all the other micro gaming sites, they just use the same software.

Pokerstars

I'm mystified about what people say of VC because the last few $25 STTs I've played there has a guaranteed 3/4 idiots on them. A year ago it was a much better. I haven't played laddies in a while but I do remember it being of a good standard.

Noticed that on Pokerstars all right but the problem is then,
3 or 4 others (posssibly one player) will have their chips.

Absolutely. The $50 on PS are a whole different ball-ame whereas between the $20s and $30s there is a marginal difference if any. From my experience on Full Tilt though I'd say their $20 SnGs are much tougher than PS, and would be somewhere between the equivelent of a PS $30 and $50. I've never played on UB, but as soon as I clear my FT bonus I'm there. I hear good things about their MTTs.
