    From what I've heard, Bodog has the easiest games. FT is tougher. Pokerstars has some fish, just because it's the largest. A lot of players say to play the sites that have a sportsbook.

      The bigger the site is determines in my opinion the variance. Expect more odd "in hand" situations at the big sites while playing the lower limits.
      I love poker stars for the cash games but the sit and goes are shark infested. Much better to play ultimate bet or the smaller sites for those.
      If you use poker to fund your online betting I would suggest an all in one portal so you can bounce your funds to where it is needed.

      it all boils down to asking yourself : 1. where do you feel your money is safe 2. how easy is cashing out 3. do i need a sports book affiliated 4. does the site allow HUD displays

      Disclaimer for picking a smaller site: if you pick the smaller sites, keep a log of all players that are sitting at your table. if you are playing with the same 2 to 3 people all the time you could be getting teamed....report and get a refund or leave the site and post about it!!

          Any site with a sportsbook is one angle.

          Any site at peak times.

          Hell, there are fools everywhere. I was called a donk just yesterday on FT.

            Lol.

            But I've been playing on FT for years at the low limit tables (.10/.25 and most recently .25/.50) and of course there are always some dummies out there. But I really like playing the 9 handed short stack ring games. A lot of foreign players that like to stick in their whole stacks on pocket 6's and Ace 10 suited. Plus it's short stacked, so you can't loose your whole bankroll. Most you can really lose is 20 bucks.

            I really would like to play at BoDog, but their software is just ugly to look at and awkward compared to FT's. IMO of course.

              If your playing game below $50 SNGs and cash games less than $1/2...you really don't need to worry about which site you play on because nearly all sites have fishes in those stakes. So it's up to you which poker client's structure you prefer.

                I have been playing at Bodog for the last year and with a lot of succes, even when i started with a 1.35 win on a freroll i manage to go as far as 46 with that dollar.
                At ft where i play also their frerolls while ago, i cashed in many times and finish 1 and second a few more, but when i went broke in a few hands playing on the small stakes .1 2 cents and 5 10 cents. That prety much tell the story,
                I also play at GR88 that is part of the Merge network, and did very well there too, witha a promotion , i was able to go as far as 900 but i tilted and lost almost 600 before i caseh out.

                So in my oppinion, stay out of larges sites FT PS PPoker.

                  Most sites have very good players and one must be good to win and it will not be daily.
                  I have tons of experience on dozens of sites and find AP/UB micro stakes the easiest.

                        Would you recomend to move some money there to start playing micro games let's sy .10 .25 or .05.10 as an alternative ?

                          Well, I'm on Bodog and I suck, so there's at least one bad player for you.

                                True. I do feel though that Sportsbook.com has alot of bad players. More than the norm. Op should check it out. Only downside is I've heard of people having trouble cashing out of their SB, BUT have not heard any complaints from a few of my buddies who were successful in their poker rooms.

                                              Focusing on the US-friendly sites:
                                              - Stars, FTP, and Cake are some of the toughest sites.
                                              - Bodog, Merge, and Cereus are only soft compared to the bigger, tougher sites generally. Tiny sites like True are generally very soft.

                                              The softest sites are generally Italian ones that most of you have never heard of. Some of them have a lot of traffic too, e.g. 5/10 always running, often multiple tables at higher stakes than that, and slews of lower-limit tables. Some of the Italian sites you can play through an agent who moves the money for you (so even US players can play), if you're non-US you can generally deposit/withdraw directly with Moneybookers. If you're interested in details you can PM me.

                                                There are massive differences in softness/profitability between sites at every level. Just because you're good enough to beat those games doesn't mean you should be playing there. At another site you might be able to beat the same stakes for triple the earn rate or play 2-3 stakes higher.

                                                  Bad players can take your money also. Some bad players will call with any two hands while you have AA pre flop and beat you with their 38 flush, straight, two pairs what ever it is. So watch out of bad players also they are a threat same as pro's.

                                                    you gotta think of the long run. of course ur gonna lose a couple hands against them that's part of the game, you'll understand when you play long enough.

                                                      LMAO @ anyone who said pokerstars, they obviously dont play poker if they said that.

                                                      Thats the equivalent of saying its easiest to stop jordan in his prime from winning the finals.

                                                          i don 't think you should ever be to concerned about fish. sure they get the goodies off the hook sometimes. and can cause a bad session, but all they are is fish. now sharks.

                                                          You had best be very careful when swimming in thier waters. They are territorial. cuz it pays to be that way.

                                                          cake is full of eastern bloc players, who are loose aggressive. they also have a lot of orientals. i live in vegas. LOL.

                                                            Like many people have said, at low stakes the game won't be too difficult anywhere.

                                                            Also, like many have said, the siets tied to a sportsbook are generally the fishest because sportsbook people decide to "give poker a try" without really knowing what they are doing.

                                                              The bigger the player size is the worse the player they have. Mostly like full tilt and poker stars that's is if you find those crappy players. Smaller player size are easy to find the worst player and they are in sportsbook poker like bodog and some others.

                                                              Always take what I said before also just look up about bad players with bad plays.

Players are easy$$ Just be prepared for the bad beats on the river when they call allin chasing gutshots and hit on the river. You'll make money if you can put up with the short term frustration from bad beats. opponent mistaks=profits in the long run.

I've heard Merge is soft, I haven't played there since the poker.com days and it was soft then so I'm sure it is now. But getting paid fast, well that won't happen from what I've read on 2+2. So True network is smaller but I know my money is safe and I get paid fast and players SUCK
