so in light of FT kicking the bucket, i wouldn't mind finding another decent online site that i can get rake back from. what are your comments on the following:
paradise poker
betsson
pkr
888 poker
doyle's room
carbon poker
betfair
or possibly another one?

I started playing 888 today. Just using the free eight bucks for registering for now. I'm up a buck or so this far. Anyone had experiance with them? Especially in regards to withdrawing money?

I don't mind the Merge Network..due to the 35% rakeback, and have had decent success there. As well as Betfair has a lot of euro time zone decent tournies and a not bad rebate system. (now that I got it figured out).

thanks for the comments.

I have some $$ on Titan, so I might play on there again. Haven't been there in some time, so not sure what to expect though. The worst part about Titan was the support staff interrupting your game to get you to deposit more.
Have a few dollars on Cake too, but again, haven't been there in sometime either. Hate the graphics and interface on Cake, but the games were normally pretty soft. One thing I didn't like about Cake was that players could change their login names randomly so taking a notes was a pain in the ass...and you can't use PokerTracker or HM.

I found it very amusing when someone from Titan actually called me at home to ask why I hadn't been playing on there in a while! They just wanted to make sure everything was ok.
The only reason I played on there was for the brief stint where the forum tourneys were on that site. Once that was finished, so was I. Couldn't stand the interface.

I'm still just mucking about on 888, I like the "double or nothing" STT that pays 20% of the prize pool to to the top 5 finishers.

Don't mind 888 either, the late GTDs usually get some overlays. Only play microstakes, but small field $5-10 GTD seem to offer odds I can't pass up...if your willing to play in middle of night. Been awhile since I have been on so that could have changed too.
CD, Titan, VC any of the I-poker, like their dirty dozen SNG's forget trying to get into any MTT's though, never any fields. Cash is alright.
Never played any Merge other than Feltstars, didn't mind it. Found it quite similar to I-poker at micro levels.
I never took to PKR, the gimmicks where cool, but

thanks guys.
damn i can't decide. i finally have a whole summer to dedicate to poker and online poker decided to come crashing down. talk about running bad...

I am playing on Carbon right now and I like the interface and graphics. It's a small feature but I like the "show one or both cards and fold". I doubt many people are paying attention to me but meh, sometimes I like to show a good fold. It plays a silly chime when you win a pot but that might be an option you can change. Don't know how much I will play here but it's an alternate option

damn, running bad already. 99 vs AK and lost to runner runner flush and then lost a pot where it stated I was a 91% favourite. Not a good start!

I don't like the interface on titan at all although the games seem soft and the bonus would be easy enought to clear and they offer 200% on first deposit. A few killers for me are that the time zone can't be changed meaning you have to convert any tourney start time to your time zone, the fact that they don't have many tourneys that start at resonable times here and that the table doesn't pop up when you have to act making me miss a few turns no seeing it flashing on the task bar.
888 seems like on ok interface, i took there free offer for $8 and am up to $11.25 or something in about 20mins on the 1-2 plo tables as anyone with a pair was calling to the river even with a flush on board. I don't know how the Holdem games are as I didn't try but I would guess they are also soft.

Ive been trying to figure out where to play as well...I like FT interface the best. Party keeps sending me free money every few months, but i hate their interface + low low traffice, ive never had to wait half an hour to get a full table for a $5 sng lol, what a joke...only a couple thousand players at anytime max, and i dont know what theyre playing because i dont ever see them..
Im not a fan of the PStars website, plus I keep hearing rumblings of people withdrawing funds in anticipation of a similar crackdown like that of FT.
In terms of highest traffic and best interface...any suggestions??
I have been looking at 888 and bwin at the moment

Where did you hear that?
Anton81
Sorry jd, my bad i should clarified, when I refer to rumblings I meant other players I've been chatting with at the local poker rooms who have been expressing concern as well as few friends who play regularly online. Didnt mean to make it sound like news source had cracked a story about such speculations :)

I first used partypoker, and when I couldn't get my money out without paying a fee, I found Titan Poker. I think it's the best. It's legit, safe and secure. I won a $55000 jackpot in March, it took a little bit of time to clear and confirm my i.d. on a withdraw of that size, but it didn't cost anything and withdraws under $10 000.00 there is no issues. Best Jackpot Sit n' Go's of any site.

Just using up the last of my free money on party and have noticed a HUGE spike in traffic, wow, these other sites are benefiting handsomely from this FT shut-down!
