    Trying to find a new place to play poker

    I have played at Full Tilt and Bodog. Getting bored with them. Can anyone suggest some good sites? I heard Doyle's Room is pretty good.l Any thoughts?

    I play at PlayersOnly on the Merge Network and like it. They accept US players and have good loyalty promotions.

    Doyles Room is good for bonus program. Decent tourneys, more volume than Bodog, can get small stake Omaha and Hi/Lo tourneys, you can get low stacks cash no problem. But no sng's.
    On Cake network, so compare other bonuses on the network.

    Wish I could play on party poker here in the USA. That's where I started years ago.

    Thanks! How is the withdrawal process? Is it relatively easy?

    Not as easy as FT. Just deposited there last week for first time. Went to w/d yesterday and they said I need to sign authorization agreement and send them copy of id, cc and utility bill which is somewhat inconvenient.

    Was going to take care of it today and don't expect any problems. Also, if in US, I would deposit with ewalletexpress. Then you have free w/d's. It is costing me 50.00 for a check. If not in US, then they can credit your card.

    Reefer, a Merge site is good as well as Feltstars. Doyle and Cake from Cake network are both good with different specials. Be sure to check the private tabs for added value. Join Reefer through Pokertoker and Feltstars through pokerjoeandthedoc.

    I tried to deposit last night in Doyle's Room and had nothing but issues....Put in info and then they said I needed to live chat with someone to finish the deposit process. The live chat operator took at least 10 minutes to ask/answer each question. They told me that they were having trouble with new accounts with making their first deposit. This whole process took more than 45 minutes and by this time I was fed up and frustrated. I gave up and went over to Poker Stars...It was ridiculous.....

    That is unfortunate. The w/d process has been less than convenient as well. However, the bonus seems to release faster.

    If your a high volume player Stars is great, esp if your a new sign up and can clear the $600 First Deposit Bonus, then you can start working on the $1k Stella Rewards. You shouldn't be looking to spend any of your FPP's either, save them up and buy bonuses if your going to put the volume in.

    If you are a just a recreational player, look for a site that is going to give your Rakeback. The Cake network is good for this as I believe they work out their rake by the dealt method.

    First-time poster on the poker forum...

    Just thought that I would add a couple of Euro poker sites to the discussion. Since 2007, I've been playing a lot in the 10 and 25 NL ring games over at Betfair Poker. I love it especially because of the looseness of the games. A boatload of crazy Scandinavians willing to get their money in with the worst of it, depending on the hours of the day. The sing-up bonus is pretty solid and there is also the possibility to sign-up for 30% rakeback.

    I also enjoy playing on bWin Poker. There's not as much player traffic as main sites like FTP or Stars, but the diversity of the games make it worth a deposit.

    Cheers!

    I am really surprised to see you play Feltstars. You seem one of the more knowledgeable poker posters in the forums. I would like to warn you that Feltstars are among the white labels using Merge's software that's processing is controlled by Futurebet. I highly recommend using one of the Merge-banked skins, or Jazette or PokerHost. Those ones that Futurebet banks will eventually run off with all the money like they always do. You can tell which are Futurebet because they use a web-based Cashier called either ePayCashier or ClickCashier. Here is also a list, stay safe.

    Try Ultimate Bet...every time you get 88's or higher, you will be hoping, praying, begging, pleading to win the BBJ! It can get
    really huge somtimes....and the software is pretty good. Full Tilt still has the best layout, hands down.
    Anyone try Betfair since joining ongame?

    Yes, I have. It's still good. Maybe not as loose as it was but it has much more players now. This is particularly beneficial to Canadians as it use to be quite dead during (our) night time. Great promos going on right now.

    Not too many options for US players. you can try Cake but it has gone down hill lately.

    I'm trying out Poker at Pinny right now, its not bad. But i'm in Canada.
