I can't decide where to play. I need a site with rakeback and traffic at STT's. I can play on any site but found the only good ones are accepting US. I have decided against the biggest and have the choice of Cake or UB. Cake has no bad history but the software isn't good and $500 min. cashout. UB has much more players but with a bad history, it's hard to support joining them.

I looked and decided against alot of ones like ongame and IPN. ipoker, pacific and party are all VIP and everest too. are there any ones with rakeback I'm forgetting? entraction is all nits?

Only Cake or UB?

I'd go with UB because games are relatively soft as compared to other site so it won't be hard to build a roll there + %30 rakeback.

And why not Full Tilt and Pokerstars exactly?

Those ones have the most regs and the games are hard to beat now. As a non-US player I should really be taking advantage of other sites? But for some reason almost every site has no rake, poor software and games full of what could be regs, nits and bots.

I wish it was easier to choose a site.

Full Tilt and Pokerstars have pleeeenty of fish. Sure they have more regs because they have many more players overall than other sites, but that also means there are going to be more fish.

I hate when everyone says ipoker. Their software puts me on tilt and the play is terrible. Surely there has to be a better euro site out there?

I mean the games suck. It's not about fish when the player base is half nits and half bonus whores.

You are limiting yourself like use from the US have to? Why would you do that?

You have every site to choose form. And you want to choose from UB/AP and Cake?

Whats wrong with Party Poker,Ipokersites,and all the other ones?

Cake sucks balls 33%RB though. And UB/AP you know there history.

Party has higher fees and no rakeback. A reg from there told me only the cash games are soft, and I dont play those.

The ipoker network sucks and the people recommending it might not have tried other sites before. They don't offer rakeback and your account can be closed if you get it another way.

Yeah I know the history of UB/AP but it's still got high traffic and don't STT grinders need that?

Just play on PS. I mean seriously... There are way more players there, so based on pure math there will be more fish.

I would recommend Pokerstars for volume of players, user interface and good support system.

Otherwise maybe try some ultra fishy network like Betfair, software isn't amazing but there is no such thing as shortstacks there which is awesome!
