Hi!

I have been playing online for about a year. I am mainly playing on Bodog and Ongame (and a little bit on Pacific, WSEX and PKR) but I am considering trying a new site or two.
What I am looking for (in order of priority):

1) Soft, soft $0.5-$1, $1-2 no limit and $1/$2 $2/$4 limit cash games. Soft $30-$50 buyin tourneys with a nice structure
2-3) Rakeback
2-3) Pokertracker/PAHUD compatibility all the way (tourneys too!)
4) traffic
5) helpful support, smooth cashout

What I think of the sites I am playing atm:

Bodog: soft enough, good overlays in MTTs, extremely good support, but I can only play 3 tables and PT doesnt support their tourneys. Also for a European traffic comes a bit too late at night.

Ongame: MTTs are ubersoft but the structure is horrible, software is horrible, mini-table mode is ok but could be better, PT doesnt support their tourneys either which is a bad thing. First depo bonuses are decent for most skins. There is decent traffic however I could see a little more MTTs and fixed limit tables going maybe.


I am grateful for any advice, however if you suggest a site it would be the most useful for me if you could compare it to Bodog or Ongame in terms of soft field and other considerations.
Thanks a bunch!

full tilt would probably be the best for you. they offer 28% rakeback, run frequent tournaments/sngs with decent structures and have a good amount of traffic. pokerstars would be good too but they don't have rakeback (they have the star program which can be better than ft's rakeback-depending how much you play). i definitely wouldn't consider full tilt's support good though.

thanks this is good info, however as you can see for me (because i am a lame n00blar) the soft field is #1 priority, and I always hear that FT and Stars are way way tougher than Bodog or Ongame. Is that not correct?

i haven't played extensively on bodog or ongame so i really can't say. what i do know is that the players on ft/ps aren't superstars or anything, the games are definitely beatable
