Default Lets hear your site reviews

Just wondering what site(s) everyone plays at and their reviews of others?

Here are my top 5 rankings (in order) from the sites I've played at... just to let you know I haven't played at any of these sites for real money so cant comment on their reliability/support ect... Im basically ranking them on my preference of graphics,gameplay,free rolls ect...

1. PokerStars
2. Absolute Poker
3. TigerGaming
4. Pacific Poker
5. True Poker

PokerStars I like because their software is good, there are good freeroll tournaments every few hours, and I enjoy the overall atmosphere. Plus the gameplay is quick and smooth, good lobby layout and stats.
I put Absolute Poker at number 2 only because of their FREE ROLL tournaments. They have at least a free roll every hour it seems which I play the most. Their software isnt the greatest, and they give too much time for slow players, but overall it's not a bad site. Best for tournaments I think.
TigerGaming I think has the slickest graphics, nicest layout and probably my favourite to play at. I would play at TigerGaming all the time and would be the only place but I won't because they are the worst for tournament play. Seems like tourneys dont even exist there.
PacificPoker is the first site I've played at, many years ago, and glad to see it's still considered one of the top pokersites. Another good site for smooth graphics, nothing fancy but has good gameplay and not too slow (a slow site is my biggest problem, I like quick gameplay, no laggers). Good traffic and the ease of competition is fairly good... I seem to have good luck at Pacific.
TruePoker is a site I played at alot, but like alot of people I got tired of their 3D atmosphere (which at first is pretty cool, the different characters ect, but the chatting effects get annoying at times). They also lack good tournaments and their software is designed for 400x600 resolution it seems, dunno why. The gameplay is pretty good though, overall it's a good starting site for players looking for just fun play.

Some other sites I played at and thought were decent were Royal Vegas Poker. Overall it isnt a bad site but I think theres alot better out there. FairPoker, a site similar to TruePoker and Noble, basically a fancy 3D engine that again, gets boring.

Now the sites I disliked.... PartyPoker. When I first heard this site as the busiest and most popular I signed up and once I played there for a few hours it was enough for me. I hated the software and graphics. NoblePoker, the moment I signed on I had one of the online support operators open a window and nag me to deposit money and offer me a sign up bonus ect. I ran into this a few times, so I wasn't to keen on it right from the start (probably explains the low traffic). And for play money it's horrible, very few tables. And overall the traffic here is minimal, maybe 500 online, granted, it is a fairly new site. Their graphics I admit are pretty good, better than TruePoker's 3D layout.
PokerRoom, well I cant say its a bad site, but in my opinion I didnt like anything about it all. Like partypoker I dislike their cheesy player graphics, the chat bubbles ect... just the entire layout turned me off.

Anyways, those are just my reviews/opinions, and to remind you I only play for fun (at the moment, lol) and not judging these sites as for payouts ect.
Some of you may agree,disagree with what I think of these sites but again, just my opinion.

Lets hear your reviews of some online poker sites.
Which ones are your favourites and which ones would you never play at again?

Good Luck at the tables!
