UB vs. Cake vs. Absolute?

[tradenine]

I'm going to sign up with either UB, Absolute or Cake in the next week, and would appreciate any advice you could offer. Which site do you recommend, and how do they compare in terms of:

- bonus clearing

- multi-tabling

- cashouts/customer service

- rakeback generation

- quality/quantity of games/software (low limit NLHE cash)

- any other insights you have

Besides these three, are there any other sites I'm missing which I should consider (which offer rakeback)?

Full Tilt, maybe Stars

Heres my take on cake and UB.

Bonus clearing:
Ub clears rate is bout 67% rakeback (according to rakeaway, it still feels as if it clears painfully slow tough)

Cake:
Clears at about 50% rakeback ( according to rakeaway, felt significantly slower than UB).


Multi tabling:
Cake's Huge not resizable tables make multi tabling a pain, i was limited to 4tables on a 15 inch screen and even then i had giant overlap, tables are so large I couldnt even fit 2 on my screen without overlap.
ALso cake is not supported by PT making multi tabling even harder.

I played at UB when there weren't resizable tables, now with resizable tables it should be fairly good. Also ability to quickly gain up to 100 last hands played at a table allows you to have decent stats on everyone in an instant after sitting down at the table(or before). Full PT and PA hud support is good too. Only downside is software freezing occassionaly(atleast for me). Thanks to Ultimate buddy fish finding is easy too.

Cashouts:
Very fast at both Cake and UB ( well im european so prob ably not relevant to u), didnt have to contanct customer support.

Rakeback Generation:
Didnt have a rakeback offer so n/c

Quality:
Cake is very very very soft, possibly softest site available for US.
UB is pretty average, still softer than Full tilt(then again everything is softer than tilt)

Other insights:
the UB BBJ will eat away some of your profits even with RB.

I'm already on FTP and Stars, wondering specifically about Absolute vs. UB vs. Cake.

[Josem]

well, on absolute poker, some players can see your cards. that's a bit of a turnoff for me.

ub is owned by the same people.


so, go with cake, i guess.

play on stars..it has the most people

I don't get any anybody would even consider playing at AP or UB, if you heard a bunch of people got robbed walking down a certain street would you go walking down that street by yourself at night with a wad of cash? What about if they caught the robbers but didn't even arrest them?

The 'Edit' option has disappeared from all my posts. I AM logged in. Is anyone else having this problem?

Any more info on these sites would be appreciated.
