    Which site has the worst players in the $1 - $4 games?
    If I am interested in playing $1-$2 or $2 - $4 no limit, which site has the worst players?

    I played a ton in 2005 and made a killing over every site but Ultimate Bet? Maybe it was just bad luck but I felt like their $2-$4 players were a little sharper than most other sites.

    FullTilt was always the easiest.

    id say that ftp has the most people playing cash games so therefor there'd be the most bad players on that site. but using the same logic you'd probably run into the most better-than-average players there too. for whatever reason i never had much success in the cash games at UB/AP, but i seem to do fairly well at stars and ftp. spread your money around at both rooms and play whichever game is softer at that given time

      You may have been cheated on UltimateBet in 2005.

      Although the superuser scandal supposedly only took place at the highest stakes.

        Pacific Poker has the most fish of any site I've played at, and I've tried most. If you want extremely soft and loose action, this site is one of the best. It's no concidence that software such as Poker Tracker doesn't work there. I feel like I'm playing against robots on most other sites, but Pacific is probably the closest in feel to a live game you're going to get.

          What is the best promotion they are running? I will give them a shot.

          Anyone know?

            Pacific is non US I do believe. Ask OTL to check his private tab for upcoming large promo's.

              Soft players?, I find players are good everywhere but can be easier at certain times and days of the week. UB is bad because there are alot of fishes there and by far the craziest players. Tried them a couple times and immediately left. Bodog is great for ring but shitty for tournaments except private and their Sunday 125K. Cake and Doyle, both of Cake Network, are absolutely perfect for both ring and tourneys all day long. Merge network is good for bad beat games and privates only.

                          Don't expect to be raking in money at these stakes today. The game has significantly gotten harder at these levels. It is not unbeatable but if you're coming back wet behind the years you're going to get eaten alive.

                          I suggest buying



                          It is from some really reputable authors responsible for Professional No limit Hold'em. It will bring you up to speed to the current game along signing up for a training site like DC/STOX/CR. Most likely you'll need something like Getting Started In Hold'em by Ed Miller to correct your faulty thinking to begin with though.

                              Bodog is still soft or try the rushpoker on FT.

                                  Try Cake poker. I haven't played no limit holdem on them, but two months ago I was playing Omaha 8 on there and it was completely soft. I assume the holdem on there also would be also.

                                        genrally sites with poker ONLY, such as Pokerstars and fulltilt have touger players. Sites with a casino/sportsbook are genrally easier.. Something to look out for, I personally play on Ft, stars and do pretty well :>

                                                  All of the sites are generally rigged. But Bodog has the worse bad beats. Filled with European hackers also.

                                                    Good feedback guys, thanks.

                                                    Kzee, care to elaborate on the rigged theory? I partially thought UB was rigged, but I guess there is no real way to prove it. I recall tracking the number of times I hit sets on FTP versus UB, and the amount of times I saw AA, KK, and QQ in the same hand and the results were ridiculous. I swear UB rigged hands to create action/rake.

                                                      I feel like most of the players in the 1$-4$ at any site aren't too good. Anyone playing that level will play any hand so if you play conservative you should have no problem placing.
