Soft competition: Stars vs. FTP vs. Absolute?

[Hannibal]

I have to say that I have been playing on FT since Party went down. I recently switch to UB for the points promo as was REALLY surprise at the action. I used to play on UB a couple years ago and it was really tight...but now, maybe it's just me, but the place has a bunch of maniacs.

Having said that..if I was chosing between FT and AP for rakeback...it would be a no brainerr...FT all the way.

As I've said before, AP customer service are a bunch of morons (when they eventually do reply to your email). Take that into consideration.

Thanks... I am definitely leaning towards FT if I can deposit with a credit card (which, according to another post, you can).

Maybe I should give UB another shot -- but seriously, how can people stand the graphics? I guess I haven't looked for a while, but do you still have to mouse over the chips to see the bet amounts displayed?

No...you just have to go to options and change the settings.

At the low limits I think they are all pretty much the same. If not, you have some serious leaks in your game.

the low limits are not the same at all. Obviously they should all be beatable if your a decent player, but they are definitley different. Full Tilt is definitley the hardest site. Hands down. AP, UB, and Bodog are the softest IMO

Having just moved over to UB after being on FT for a year...I have to say I have found A LOT more action at UB. I am not saying that because I running hot....just seems like there are more maniacs on UB. On UB seems like the only two bets are potsized or all in. Plays alot like Party used to. This didn't used to be the case the last time I was on UB. Just my opinion though....

Funny, because when I first started playing UB I hated the graphics too. But I stuck with it and now I find the graphics/interface at other sites boring and slow. Like anything in life, it's a mattter of getting used to it.

But really, what's more important, that you like the graphics or having a good rewards system and a good player pool. If you're a US player the combination of bonus and the weekly cash for points program (plus rakeback if you can get it) is just about unbeatable. As for the players, it's a very mixed pool. At the levels I play the average player is aggresive, but that doesn't mean their good. Actually, you often see laggy players donking their chips away. I don't play FT, but using BW's game quality grid UB comes out way ahead.

And, it's been said over and over, but let me say it once more, UB's interface is the fastest around. I can get more hands in per hour here than anywhere else. Also, the donks like the fast/non-thinking game.

Just my 2c.

Well stated Dost,you make a good point about the software.To complain about software thats faster than most any room out there because of the graphics or whatever is not a very good line.I agree the interface can take some getting used to if your new to the site,but its all about the deal speed bottom line in software and UB is fast.Of course,i played AP in Nov,Dec so any software was like jumping in a race car after busting out some hands there.
