The 2 best in my opinion are Party Poker and Ultimate Bet. At Party Poker you can get any game at any time. Ultimate Bet has better bonuses. Overall though:

1. Party Poker
2. Ultimate Bet

Anybody ever try Paradise Poker? Not bad, but the same could be said about their lower limit tables. Seems like ever one is willing to throw in a couple bucks on a draw and it always seems to hit. But the good thing is, is that they are partnered with sportbook.com and you transfer funds from one to the other.

All the sites have their fair share of fish at ALL $$$$ levels.

That being said, UltimateBet has by far the best interface out there and you can play multiple games at once, along with good bonuses. They also have an add-on called Ultimate Buddy that will alert you when buds and fave fish are playing and on what table. It's a good way to watch the pros play (once you figure out what their UB name is). Tourneys and sit-n-gos are fun/ok. However, UB does have the smartest/toughest players I've found in visiting over 6 different poker sites. This may be because you CAN play multiple games and I do know of a lot of Pros that play at UB. Web poker playing stat collection (i.e. Poker Tracker) works at this site along with Empire Poker, Party Poker, Paradise Poker and Poker Stars just to name a few. This tracking software allows the user to have a HUGE edge over the other players as it basically tells you straight up what hands they play.

Due to the Poker Tracking software that is available out there, my favorite sites, besides UB, are Pacific Poker and DoylesRoom, where the tracking software does NOT work. DoylesRoom mostly caters to Europeans, mostly Brits, so do the time table math. When you are playing at 8PM CDT, it is somewhere around 2am over there. In other words most are loaded.

PacificPoker, my favorite, has received several nods for being the "fairest" site available. Granted it has the WORST interface available and you can only play one game at a time, but the fish are swimming strong, even in the $5/10 ring games. I completely funded a cruise to the Carrib for my family by playing at this site last year. Biggest win was 2/712 players in a multi-table $15 +$1.50 tourney for $1,509. They have now increased the buy-in to $30+3, but it is still relatively "easy".

Hopes this helps and watch out for the tracking software.....because if you play with me at UB, you're going into my database.
