In this sense I think he meant it rocks for soft competition.

Morons on tilt will also call people donkeys if they beat them out of a pot, whether they had the best hand or not.

As far as sites go, I play on Pokerstars, mostly, when I ever even get on anymore. I also try my luck at Pokerworld freerolls (cause they're huge donkeys, which means easy money) on occasion, and (very rarely), I'll get on Full Tilt.

or horrendous suckouts!

I'm housesitting for a freind who has a Mac and I couldn't run the Pokerstars client. I found Partypoker had this "Play Anywhere" java client and was up and running with a bonus, and a deposit of $100 from Mastercard, in about 10 minutes.

Played a 10man, $22 and got third (won $40), then played a 10man $55 and got second (won $150). Lost HU with 99 against Q6o allin pf. I think the play was a bit looser that most of by PS SnG's but it's hard to judge from 2 games.

Partypoker = one more great reason not to live in the USA

Hi, I realise this is quite an old thread now, does this advice still stand? I've stared playing on PartyPoker just recently in the $0.05/$0.10 NL and I am encountering a decent number of reasonable players e.g. VPIP/PFR of 20/15. Thank you.
