I doubt anyone will waste their time pointing out yet again what the issues were with this "study", but if you use the "Search this thread" drop down at the top right and search "issuu", you'll find the previous discussions.

With partypoker, I went from 1eur to 500eur in couple of months, and then lost them all with badbeats in a couple of days.. That was a long time ago, and I could have been playing tilted but.. Anyway
It's been a long time I've played online poker, could anyone recommend me a good site to play on? I'm a player from Finland and I would play micro/small cash tables and tourneys would be good too
I've been trying to google all kind of sites and most popular seems to be PokerStars, but reading so many negative comments from the site, I decided to not try this... The traffic there is admirable, and tourneys are attractive too but so many comments about bots/superusers/etc...
Looks like your thread got moved in here since it was mostly a rigged post. If you just want to get advice for a new site to play, there's lots of help in this thread:

Maybe do some reading of the thread first, and if you still have questions, post them without all the backdrop about other supposedly rigged sites.
BTW, if you're going to listen to every negative post about a site and let that dissuade you from playing, just find somewhere to play live poker. The larger the site, the more criticism you're going to read - if there's a site about which you can find zero accusations about bots, colluding, rigging, and super users, it must be a tiny site that no one has heard of. Bots and collusion are legitimate problems that exist likely on all sites, to differing degrees - it's something of a cat-and-mouse game for the sites, and some are better at it than others. Super users and rigging, while possible, there's not been a whole lot of credible evidence of (aside from the UB/AP super user scandal), and is something a lot of losing/tilting players like to blame for their bad sessions.
