| | | online poker rooms?
hey with summer and wsop coming I am looking to sign up for a online poker room where I can play some cheap wsop satalies. Does anybody have any ideas which site is best. I have done some looking and it seems like Full Tilt has the best wsop qualifiers. Poker Stars also looked like a solid site. Do any of you have preferences. Also rooms that I did not mention. I need some info thanks! | | Sponsored Links |  |

| | | Personally, I don't like Full Tilt at all. Seems like the suckouts there are as bad as at party poker. And there seem to be more obnoxious players per capita than anywhere else I've played.
I just started playing at poker stars recently and really like it. And its the home of the weekly chiptalk.net tournament too! If you decide to try it, sign up thru the banner that's on this site so Ten% (the owner of this site) gets the referral. Look at the bottom of this page and you'll see a little banner there.

| | pokerstars and full tilt have really great WSOP qualifiers, Id say full tilt has the best and they also have the other WSOP event qualifiers and a way to "own a piece of the pros" where I think you get 10% of whatever the pro you own wins in the WSOP. Not to mention them giving you 10 million bucks if you win the main event after qualifying through full tilt. And no I dont work for full tilt  |

| | I'd Vote Poker Stars for a couple or reasons:
1) They sponsor this site... if you sign up using this link: http://www.pokerstars.com/?source=chiptalk.net, chiptalk gets a little grease
2) The last two winners of the WSOP got their seat through pokerstars, and if remember correctly, at the final table.. think over 50% of the players had won a seat through pstars.
3) Cheap, they have $2 super satelites, $33 satelites, and $160 double table shootouts (those sound cool , you win your table and you win the second table (which are winners from 8 other tables). You win a seat at the WSOP. They also offer tournaments for free with their frequent player point (FPP) program.. see here http://www.pokerstars.com/2005wsop/diagram_fpp.html
4) That is where the offical chiptalk tournaments are held, so if you have an account, you can join the fun on thursday nights... see this thread... http://chiptalk.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1187 |

| | | PokerStars and FullTilt. FullTilt cash games are more profitable, from my experience (worse players than PokerStars, in general). |

| | | I should have mentioned I was speaking of tournaments in my comments about full tilt, I tend to agree with speakeasy on the cash games.

| | The more suck out, the worse the players. In long run should be good for the better player.
FT should be good, PS have tighter players. Also FT have the $10 million bonus if you win the whole thing. 
Also I know of 5 players in my local area that have qualified thru Party and going to Vegas. |

| | | Even in a tourn. I would rather have bad, loose player than otherwise. Last night, I had pocket K's and another player with A2s allin me when I raise 3X, even tho I was knock out when an A show up, I would go for that every time. |

That example is exactly the type of scenario I saw way too much at FT.
