Default Best poker site

Hello poker people!

I hardly think this is the first time someone has posted something like this, but can I ask you guys what you think the best site is for Hold'em.

I've played a lot of live tourneys, but only just started out online.

All that really matters is commission charged and possibly rake-back incentives. Don't care too much about what aethetics.

I'll be playing 1.50/3 or 2/4 blind level mostly cash games.

Thanks if you can help [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I have heard Absolute are pretty cool (only joking). If you want rakeback then FTP but make sure you join through a good affiliate and deposit an initial $600 for the maximum bonus.

There are others obviously and the affiliates will have deatails of bonuses and rakeback.

Interface wise, FullTilt I think is the best. I'd like to play at stars but I can't wrap my head around that ugly user interface.

Hehe - don't run down Stars at 2+2 someone will put a hit out on you.

Stars support is 2nd to none and the site is brilliant but they don't do rakeback. They have their own FPP system and some will argue it is equivalent to rakeback. Lets not go into that now there are plenty of threads on it if you search. But if it is rakeback you are looking for then Stars is not the place.

oh Sorry, I didn't mean anything against Stars, just that I can't get used to the actual interface, compared to full tilt.

Everything I hear about Stars, is it's a great site and excellent for tournaments, etc. I will play on it once I get more familiar with the interface [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

If you're looking for rakeback, then I would say FTP. The Stars VIP program (which is a sort of pseudo-rakeback of sorts for that site) gets very nice if you play the high stakes, though it's not that big a deal at the level you play at. At 2/4 limit, rakeback at FTP > Stars VIP.

The commission is pretty much the same at both sites.
