Re: Site recommendation please Hi I am a beginner myself and stick to the small cash tables and the lower stake STT on Paddy Power and Ladbrokes.

Re: Site recommendation please Well Bet365 at the moment is what I use, more because I play in STTs really and the buy - in is better value there than Ladbrokes and it pretty much uses the same interface. I prefer Bet365 because Pokerroom.com puts me off (I begin to read the characters rather than the players), William Hills I've found has a fussy interface, is unlucky for me, and I've come across some really arrogant people there (but hey they can't all be bad as some from here play there). From what I've read on here and seen there are a lot of not so wonderful players on Bet365 too (myself included!) but we've all got to learn somehow, and for me it's a good start. If it's your first online playing, I would reccomend you play in some low level STTs or a freeroll until you get used to the way it all works as it's way too easy to throw money away on the cash tables, but hey I'm a beginner whereas you're experienced so will probably do better! Anyway, Good luck!

Re: Site recommendation please If you are playing cash games William Hill, UK betting, Totalbet and Ritz Club (who all use the same software) pay you £5 per hour for the first five hours play every month. Those nice people at William Hill are also doing a random "cash drop" promotion until the end of April. Tonight I was playing a $1/$2 limit table and was lucky enough to be awarded a random £50 cash drop. I will never say a bad word against William Hill again. :D

Re: Site recommendation please Lots of good advice in this thread sjs.... Personally I would recommend bet365poker/pokerstars/ladbrokes/william hill Lots of cheap tourneys and cash tables to choose from, look out for poker rooms offering good bonuses as well and make sure to take full advantage of them :ok Jez

Re: Site recommendation please I've had enough of the VC conspiracy and I'm looking for a new website to use but don't which one to pick. I mainly play low buy-in STT $1 - $5. I like the look of bet365poker's interface. Does anyone know of any bonuses for this website? I'd also be very interested in anybody's recommendations, ideally detailing if the website offers low level buy-ins together with any sign up bonus. Thanks in advance of your advice.

Re: Site recommendation please If you are looking for bad players, you shouldn't look further than party poker. I have played at many different sites and have never seen softer games than those at party. They have some nice first time bonuses and reloads each month.

Re: Site recommendation please Alright topnotch! If you are playing $5 STT's Bet365 only charge $0.5 rather than the $1 that party poker, paradise poker, william hill etc charge. Once you get up to the $10 tournaments they charge the same. You can also play tournaments from $0.75 +0.25 upward. Sign on bonus:
