I play 6 max cash games, not tourneys.  The basic reason for 6 max is that you get more hands/hr and the tables usually have worse players, more of the "action" junkies.  I don't usually touch anything outside of party as I have a 20% rakeback deal (i.e. i get 20% of my rake back), which adds up when you play as much as I do.  Also, its not that i'm "that good", its that the competition is "that bad"

This is pretty much correct. Unfortunately the introduction of the 6max games has pretty much destroyed the quality of the full table games, but I have been willing to adjust to the world of 6max. The players there are brutal.

I play on Party, Stars, and Paradise under the same screename as here. I am sentimental towards Paradise because I started out with $100 there playing .25/.5 which a year later has turned into $4600 playing 3/6 and hopefully 5/10 soon. Their software sucks though and the hand history is a pain. Party has the worst players but the highest rake. I personally have been digging the Stars games recently. None of them are rigged. Anyone who thinks they are is very naive and doesn't understand variance and the short term luck factor that is inevitable in poker. Live games have even worst players than party but the rake is brutal if you're playing low limit cash games and it's frustrating to only play 25 or so hands per hour.

I just started to play poker online, and it's pretty fun (especially when you win).  Just wondering if anyone else here plays.  If you play online, where?  What types of games do you normally play?

 

There's been some rumblings about some sort of TSW Poker tourney as well.  Food for thought.

 

I've been playing at Paradise Poker for the past few weeks.  Amazingly enough, I've pretty much broken even - so learning how to play hasn't cost me a penny (yet) :doh:
