Default What sites are best for ring games at .25/.50 and .50/$1 limits?

The FAQ for this forum makes reference to the big five--PartyPoker, PokerStars, ParadisePoker, UltimateBet, and PrimaPoker. Following the suggestion in the FAQ, I would like to ask those of you who have experience at these sites what your impressions are of their full ring games at the .25/.50 and .50/$1 limits? Any other sites you would recommend?

What I primarily look for, not surprisingly I assume, is a lot of choice among tables with high flop percentages and loose-aggressive games. High volume, lots of players seeing the flop, bigger pots.

I have found that my actual experience on some sites is contrary to the reviews I have read about the games at those limits, however, which is one reason I am curious to ask the readers on this forum for your own impressions.

Thanks.

Party is the softest site on earth. Go there.

One problem--they don't have .25/.50. Only .50/1 and above.

Well, they have beginner's tables that low. But chances are you can't get in those if you've played there before.

Good luck!

Paradise Poker is a great choice at .25/.5 full ring.

If LAG action is for you, I would start looking at sites that have 6-max. Perhaps Absolute will fill the bill there.

Crazy LAG action is to be found at just about all sites at 6 max.

Martin's Poker is meant to be extremely laggy and has a nice bonus. Prima and Party are certainly that way. I find Crypto a little weak-tighter but maybe that's just me. The poker sites attached to online casinos like Pacific are also meant to be a little made.

You should also try choosing the tables with more medium level Vp$iP and Av $ Pot if your own style is LAGGY - the mad rollercoaster tables can be very profitable but if you are a good LAG there is nice easy money to be made in running over weak-tighties too..

I have only played on PokerStars, Paradise and Ultimate Bet...Paradise is the best in my opinion...but this may just be because I am currently getting beat up slightly on UB (part new site...part lucky opponents).

Didn't like Stars for .25/.50 but haven't tried .50/1 yet...

Paradise will have the loosest and laggiest full ring at that level.

Absolute has hella tight full ring games, but the 6max is quite beatable.
