Default Re: Which sites have you left and why?

I play short-handed (5-6 max) $25NL, $50NL and the occasional $100NL at these sites:

TruePoker: Started my online poker career and stayed for about 2 years. I won thousands during that time. Games eventually dried up for me there. Same people at the tables every friggin day! Left due to limited table/game selection, ridiculous blind structure, slow and very busy software, lack of reload bonuses, no 4-ColorDeck.

Pacific: Deposited to clear a bonus. Software was so bad I withdrew the same day and never returned.

Royal Vegas: Same as Pacific

PokerRoom: Software sucked. Lost about $100 here and said C YA!

PartyPoker: I only play here to clear reload bonuses. Great game selection, decent software.

Full Tilt: Went here after leaving TruePoker and won consistently for about a month or so. Then I couldn’t win a hand to save my life. (Doom switch? LOL) I was break-even for another month or so then started losing consistently no matter what I did. Just had to get the hell out before I tilted my bankroll away. I cleared a couple bonuses here, but their bonus requirements suck total ass. I don’t intend on returning anytime soon. Did get to play and chat with Phil Ivey, John Juanda and Clonie Gowen though :&gt

Absolute: Basically a little better than break-even here over a 3 month period. Software is not so great. Pretty buggy, aesthetically unappealing and often very slow. NL tables filled with the same bonus whores day in and day out. I did clear a few hundred in deposit/reload bonuses there, but I cashed out my bankroll and even left over $400 in pending bonuses sitting there.

TotalPoker, SportingBet and Casino.net: Whored all 3 of these and left. Terrible software.

PokerStars: Deposited at PS to get the 20% bonus. Deposited $600.00 on 09/23/05, cashed out approx. $1,350 less than two weeks later. Great software, great game selection. I plan on returning for every reload bonus.

BetFred: Whored this site for the 100% to $100 bonus. Cleared it in 6 hours (easiest bonus to clear EVER). Decent software. Decent game selection. GREAT customer service/support.

Bet365: Whored this site for their $100 bonus and will be returning this month for the Oct reload bonus

BoDog: I thought this site sucked!! Lame software. Left after I got sucked out on twice and lost my $100 bonus that they give you up front. Oh well, no harm done. I won’t be back.

Paradise: Playing there now to get the deposit bonus and this is my first PSO promo that I am attempting to clear. Software seems average at best. I hate the (5-max instead of 6-max, but I’m getting used to it). I’m up about $75 after one night so it’s going well so far.

I will be whoring Carribean Sun, PokerRewards, PokerNow and a few others in the near future.
