What site do you play on and why?

The site we play on can have a huge impact on our winrate, so I'm curious the reasons you chose the site you're currently playing at. I've been a poker player online for 3-4 years now, on and off, and have played on just about every network.

I started my poker days where most people do, Party/FTP/PS and stuck with it for some time. Being Canadian, I learned that I have a TON of options available and the idea of bonus whoring/getting VIP deals was something I definitely should be taking advantage of. At this point I wasn't a great player, but made a lot of money through bonuses/RB on various networks.

Anyhow, I'm currently on iPoker because their "VIP" deals make it the most attractive place to maximize my winrate. For those of you who currently aren't getting rakeback or some some of loyalty plan, look into it. I'd recommend iPoker/Ongame/Microgaming, but given how Ongame has recently changed their loyalty scheme it's definitely not as lucrative.

The reason I post this is because I'm sure many of you don't have the information or are new to poker, and hopefully you can exhaust all your options to maximize your winrate!

For those of you with questions, ask away!

    Walk with me for a while.....if you compare sites to fast food restaurants and the ratio of fish to the calories consumed per dollar spent. I think you have to go with Mcdonalds. Their VIP deals (lets call them "value menu") like the Mcdouble go a long way to satisfying my hunger(definitely +ev) and along with a free treat of the week mean a very low rake. The only only complaint is sometimes the server is down (long lineups) but I can sneak by into the VIP lane (drivethru). As a mathematical equation it goes like this: Hunger + Mcdouble - (cost*low excretion time/anal leakage) = win

    When I first started, I was with Partypoker. That site was everywhere, no they are barely recognizeable. I am a loyalty points junky. Then there point store turned to shits. I've cashed out couple of times, then lost my bankroll and decided to try another site.

    Went with FTP, found some bonus code. Took me a while to figure out what rakeback was and requested for that. Got it after a while. Stuck with them. Without rakeback, I'm a losing player. Its pretty sad.
