For me Full Tilt poker is the best...can always find a table I'm looking for (whether it be a ring game, sit n Go or a multi-table. Since I am exclusively a Omaha Hi/Lo player that is somethimes an Issue at Ultimate Bet. I have never had a problem with payout at either site. There is something that annoys me about Poker Stars, I really haven't figured it out even though they, by far, have the most players online.

the last 2 months or so there has been consistent play at 3-6 or higher 8b plo...not sure the surge right now, but there were constant games going...compared to before where you would normally only see 1-2 as the highest game going

3 or 4 months ago at full tilt the high stakes PLO tables (200-400) were very entertaining. Some guy with the handle Kaibuxxe came in and was cleaning up...he took Phil Ivey out on a number of occasions. Finally, though, Ivey just started crushing him again and again and he left and I haven't seen him again. I noticed a surge in the PLO (not sure about 8/b) cash games after that.

wow...they have those big of stakes there? i think the biggest ub has for PLO is 50-100...8b is maybe 25-50...i haven't played 8b in a while...that used to be all i played...did pretty well with it for about a year and a half and then bam...i withdrew a bigger amount than normal from my account and as soon as that happened, i would be sucked out left and right and couldn't hit a draw to save my life...gave it up and just started playing holdem sngs again

well thats never happened, but I have had ones that were slow to fill that I had signed up for some time before and never unregistered appear suddenly while I was in another one and I initially thought it was one I had not signed up for.

Still fairly new to online poker. I was just wondering I have been beaten many times and have beaten many people on bad beats. Along with watching people fall all the time due to these deadly bs river cards. Is Pokerstars really terrible with this or are all the sites similar when it comes to these crazy amount of river beats. Thanks.

all pretty similar dude..i just suffered the most ridculous of any i have up to now..3 handed chip leader shoves all in..i am in 2nd i shove..the bb is all in on the blind...i have ak suited..cl has 22 short stack has a2 off...flop comes to diamonds to give me flush draw...no draw at the time for a2..then hits runner runner non diamonds to get the wheel...the dude was so dominated and pulled it out...he had no shot at 2 to beat me to cash and had no shot to winning with an ace..he needed a ridiculous circumstance to arise and sure enough...the pos wins and i bubbled

remember with online you are playing a lot more hands so bad beats will have more often.
