if they didn't have the bet pot button

I can see why such a button would be mostly useless, but why is it such a huge draw back?

It takes away info from your opponents hand. Donks don't know what to bet, they bet too small with monsters, or with draws, etc etc, and you gain info from their bet sizes. With the bet pot button, so many people just use that, and you lose information that you would otherwise gain.

The bet pot is bad because it gives the donks a better option than "minbet". Also, it makes seeing a hand through very expensive, b/c instead of 1/2 to 2/3 pot bets, they are often full pot. Also, if you try to make normal 1/2-2/3 pot bets they are seen as weak, and are grounds to be reraised. Obviously that's great if you're hitting flops, but if your options every time you miss AK are bet pot or fold, it hurts.

I have only tried one, which is Stars so I can't really comment.. I do have to say that Stars has been top-notch in terms of support services + the software and interface is pretty good..

I did try Paradise for their freerolls a while back and it was not bad, though I experienced some lag for some reason at some points, I don't know if that was them or me.

Pretty Extensive play on all of them...solely on software/structure, not quality of players:
1) UB
2) Stars
3) Full Tilt
4) Everyone Else

Worst
1) Pacific
2) BoDog
3) Paradise

I love paradise for tournies, and their software is pretty darn good. certainly better than party.

Of the sites I've played, bodog is clearly the worst software. (haven't played pacific)

Yep. BUGGY. Party is a close second though.

I agree with your top 3, though not necessarily in the same order. But what's wrong with Paradise? (Never played there -- thinking about giving it a try.)

Buggy, laggy software. Plus you can only play ONE SNG at a time! Don't know about the MTTs there, as I wasn't playing them two months ago. But, the players are absolutely terrible, hideous, completely clueless. I ran into more guys who have never played at another site, than any other, even more than Party.

I really hate Paradise, really. So much I left a nice bonus just sitting there. And I have never done that before.

You can't quote sigs, apparently. Even if you do have big red spots all over.

I know everyone loves to hate Pacific, but what is it about their tourneys specifically that makes them suck?
