Online Poker, Where?

[PocketAces]

Its a perfectly good Sunday and for some stupid ass reason there is no football on.

I'm bored and am a degenerate.

Where are you guys playing online these days?

Do any of them take moneygram? If not what is the best way to deposit?

I see pokerstars is a sponsor. Is that the one and only place to go?

What about Fulltilt?

I had the same feeling a few weeks ago. Just felt like playing. Went to pokerstars and put a little money in.

They take an online check, but from what I've seen, the site is a joke. Dominated hands seem to win all the time. Straights/Flushes on the river.

I haven't found anything online that feels like its a fair game of poker so you have to take it for what its worth.

I had QQ and called a guy all in. He had 66 and a 6 hits. Thats cool, but when it happens time after time...not just me but others at the table.

Hard to tell how legit any of it is, but I'd really love to know. I'm assuming they have programs running as the deck of cards and they set up the programs that encourages action for higher rakes.

Just wish they could make it realistic and not be so greedy about making more money.

It does seem that way for sure. How about tournies, what benifit is it to them for the same thing to happen in tournies over and over?

I think its just that they use the same "program" for both cash games and tourneys.

Either way, its one of those things you can't really prove being on the outside but I'm pretty sure its a little shady.

I only put in the minimum...$25. Got it up to about $110 and then it seemed as if I had a lot of bad beats.

Again, who knows, but this was the second time I played on there (second period of time) and both times seems like I deposited, did well, then had bad beats.

Basically, I'll play occasionally and see what I can do, but don't trust it at all.

I think that is the best way to handle it. I woulndt put any serious money in there.

I don't even know why I want to do this as I'll just end up pissed off but like I said, I'm bored. I also don't have a Vegas trip planned for a while and I'm jonesing a little.

Yeah, just have fun with it. I don't get too pissed off anymore. Usually, if I win a hand I obviously shouldn't have...I'll just type "sorry" and not worry too much about it, and vice versa.

I really think if someone would come out with a site called honestdeck.com or something similar, and made it as realistic as possible....I think they could make a lot of money.

Good luck man!
