Based on what little I've read I'm thinking UB now.

I actually would be a bit more comfortable having money on FT than with those idiots.

I'm really tempted to go for a seat to the UB Aruba tourney. Especially if they have overlays in their satellites.
But it really feels sneaky/sketchy over there even more than FT who at least have reps like FTDoug and Sean around here occasionally.

It's close-ish though.

Some of my FT's behavior can be really scary like the bot-boys from Johnstown and Kyleb's situation and any other situation where they just close your account and then stop e-mailing you and then 3 weeks later say, "We're still investigating. We're not going to tell you much more. Have fun 'being patient' while we have fun holding on to your money for a few more weeks" all because some guy you beat heads-up 4 months ago knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who did a charge-back.

Also - the bit at FT where if you accidentally transfer to the wrong person because you spelled it with a 0 instead of an o or something and they don't help at all and just say, "we'll write to him and see if he wants to give you your money back" is really terrible.

sorry OP, anyone who has taken a basic stats class knows Addicts point is VERY important, the 2nd poll is way more accurate for the Q possed. further his example is golden, why did i choose ftp as the least trustworthy, b/c they froze me for a week one time, but i can only compare that to PS, why would i give a bad score to any of the others...

UB in terms of my money just vanishing, Full Tilt in terms of them just flat out screwing me over over something really stupid and then having the CS be so horrible there is no way to resolve it.

Id still play on UB before Full Tilt tho

To those that don't like the OP poll and prefer the other one there are problems with the 7 choice one too. One could choose the same # for all of them and vote in all 7 polls even though the point is to pick a 1-5. It seems there is an even bigger margin of error. I see your point though but it just doesn't work IMO.

I find the results of the second group of polls much more informative. You can see at a glance where 2+2 public opinion stands for each room.

Actually I intended for everyone to vote on all seven sites in my poll. What I would then do is after a while average out the scored for each and show them. I think this is a much more accurate way to get informaton then the OP poll.
