Best online poker gambling website?

[eDDe9]

Been playing a lot in real life for small cash, want to spend my winnings online in a hope to make some more

As much as I dislike pokerstars at times, I enjoy it.

I don't have any experience playing at other sites, just pokerstars.

I don't know about best? What are you looking for?

Largest number of players, diversity of players, range of games available, size of games (money and/or players)??

All the sites are generally the same in terms of game play... you will get people who know what they are doing and donkeys who really don't, but get lucky sometimes. Your experience will vary depending on the other players, but there shouldn't be too much difference site to site I think...

its pokerstars or nothing for me, i just love pokerstars, better tournaments and more challenging.

Do pokerstars use the same odds you would get as if playing for real?

Or is it one that resets the deck all the time?

 

[Mugz]

it shuffles after every hand, just like you would in a real game of poker

What about blackjack, possible to count online?

Full Tilt and a close second is Ultimate Bet for me. Good luck

pokerstars doesnt do blackjack, only poker.

also its impossible to count online as it is all done using random number generators

i have used ultimatebet, pokerstars and full tilt. while i prefer the elegant simplicity of the graphics on ultimatebet, i pretty much only play at full tilt these days.

Online poker is a bit naff.. No facial game.

Don't know why they go on about that kinda stuff in the adverts. Going to stick to real poker

I have played online at Full Tilt, Pokerstars, Bodog, Absolute Poker, Ultimate Bet, even Party Poker.

The best imo are FTP and Stars- Stars has a hue selection of tournaments, including games other than NL holdem. Most traffic on the net I believe. Full Tilt is a cool site, very smooth and snazzy looking. Professionals play on contract at this site under their real names. This is a learning tool.

Bodog is low on traffic, Absolute had a cheating scandal, and their sister site is ultimate bet. basically w/h was an employee (POTRIPPER) used a super-account to see every player's hole cards and win tournaments this way. AVOID...

Here is the link to the replay of the cheating scandal. You can see ALL players' hole cards, including the cheater's, Potripper. You can see how he used it to his advantage its sickening. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FczbS7FiWSM

I believe Full tilt has something similar called a knockout tourn im beyond fucked up rite now so ill do m best to explain

basically a proportion of each player's buyin becomes their "bounty" meaning that when they get knocked out the eleiminator receives the bounty. The rest of the buyin goes tooward the rest of the prizepool. they offer these at many stakes.
