Player124113 commented on What Online Poker Site Should I Play?
Anyway a winning player does not need a credit huh ! Been trying Ipoker lately it's a non US room without rakeback but there is funny players there !! What's about Pacific i haven't been there for ages, still so many crazy callers? And do they keep there rake structure (4$ cap) ?

I agree with pretty much everything you said and is why I recommend playing on more than 1 site to take advantage of all your opportunities. Cake has been growing and I play there alot. However, be prepared for glitchy software on occasion and I couldn't use my credit card.

Well depends what u want . Fulltilt is excellent if u are searching for tournaments but for cash game I would say that people are playing really good at this room. They may as well give you 27% rakeback, not bad :-). If you play to "earn" some money I would recommand you Cake Poker, games are not that strong and they offer 33% rakeback to there players which is a bit better than fulltilt ! Ultimate bet had lately problem of collusion so i dont really know what's happening with them now

Well, it depends of blind structure of the tournament and prize structure as well. Also if u guess u are playing against a pro, it might be a strong move to push all-in because he is more likely to wait better than a top pair to call in early stages (specially if u have large stack ). There is also some players that plays excellent with large stack ( Gus Hansen like ) and may like to gamble in early stage to play for winning-final table from the very beginning. As usual in poker it's hard to find a general rule ! :-)

For whatever reason the link isn't clickable anymore. If you highlight the link and copy/paste it into the address bar it should work.

Well pushing big draws is rarely a mistake, unless you are certain your opponent has better than top pair. With that said anyone would commit with 2 pair or better. What are the buy-ins for these tournaments. It is usually hard to get your stack in early with a big made hand, assuming the buy-in was more than $20 and no re-buys.

I agree with what you said:" most top players rarely go all in unless they are sure they have the best hand" and tournaments aren't won in the early rounds. If your afraid of getting felted your gonna bleed chips. The style of play of Pro's changes based on the type of tournament, short stack vs. deep stack, turbo vs. 20+ min levels. In most of the tournaments I play in, a short stack tournament, you push your big draws and two pair or better and try to run over the weak players.

While I agree with this in general, I don't think this is true early in a tournament. You will rarely see consistent top players getting all in early unless they are sure they have the best hand. I think it is a major downfall to many amatuers. I you get allin early you are probably only going to win 50-60% of the time and even then only slightly increases your chance of getting in the money. That means half the time your completely out and the other half you have a shot but could still get busted out the very next hand anyways.

FullTilt is definately a solid site all the way around. I just wish they had reload bonuses, but they almost always have something I like running and as you said alot of the pros play there on a regular basis in reasonably priced buy-ins. I played a $50 tourney there a few days ago and had Lee Watkinson on my left and he actually was chatting it up with the average joe donks.
Poker player commented on What Online Poker Site Should I Play?
I would go for Full Tilt Poker! Bonus offers are also the best there, in my experience. They've got the best software and it's always a motivation that the pros play there as well. :)
