Default Best site for 5/10 NL Holdem?

I'd assume it's a choice between Stars, UltimateBet and RoyalVegas (Prima)?

I've only played nl on stars of those 3, but from what I've played I felt the 5 10 game was a little too tight the majority of the time. It was more of a waiting game, consistently when I played/watched it. So, if you're going to play on stars, I'd recommend the 3 6 nl game, when it runs--action's a lot better, pots at the end of the day are well worth the compensation of sitting a softer game.

Depends on what tables you prefer-

Stars = Ultra-tight
Prima = Ultra-aggressive and wild
UB = Fairly tight, moderate aggression.

Prima is full of Europeans who bluff at every chance. It can be profitable, but very volitile. I can't stand Stars 5/10NL, and have had moderate success in limited hours at UB 5/10.

Ive played quite a bit of $1/$2, and quite a bit of $2/$4NL at Prima. Ive played a little $5/$10 there but not enough to make a judgement.
The play at the $1/$2 and $2/$4 is exactly the opposite of aggressive and wild. Its VERY passive. There are some guys who bluff way too much but theyre easy to beat

Is the play at Prima $5/$10 really that different?

I even remember the 1/2 and 2/4 being pretty wild. My main strategy was the Tommy Angelo-esque check-call. There were a lot of passive players who would just keep calling, but I found it to be full of wild European gamblers.
