The "NPP" Best Internet Poker Site Rankings

Got some new players hopefully coming to play in the Poker Stars tourneys and hopefully making an appearance at the actual center of the poker universe, Nik's Poker Palace.

I have researched 214 poker sites. There is no reason for anyone reading this blog to put money in a site without checking with me first. I have been to just about every single one of them.

Here is my current play list - in order - of the best that are still open to USA players:
1. Poker Stars - no other site is close. Five stars!!!!! Great software, features, and always 30,000 to 125,000 players on line at any time – day or night.

2. World Poker Exchange - no rake!, nice tournaments, and a sports bookie! Why this site is not #2 in the world is a mystery to me. Not many players yet. Get over there!

3. Ultimate Bet - nice site, lots of players.

4. Absolute Poker - I don't like the software but plenty of tourneys and freeroll touneys.

5. Full Tilt Poker - Expensive tourneys and alot of rebuy tourneys which I don't like. But tons of pros play there and plenty of chances to sit at a table with them if you want to do that.

6. Bugsy's Club - Nice software, but not a ton of players

7. Jungle Poker – Nice site, less players than Bugsy

8. Poker4Ever - Nice site, just not many players.

9. Poker .com – Returns to the list. May be moving up in the standings.

10. Sportsbook - No poker yet except freerolls to test software. Software looks and plays well. A major sports bookie also.

My Minor League List. Nice sites too – just not my cup of tea. Might be yours.

11. Bo Dog Poker - I just hate the software, but it is a 30,000 player site and a sports bookie to boot.

12. True Poker – Beautiful and fun graphics for ring play, but not alot of tournaments. I like tourneys.

13. Platinum Poker - Part of Doyles Poker Room Network (Doyles Room, PamalaPoker, etc.), but all their tournaments have high blinds and fast round changes. It's bingo night. SNG's the same way. Ring play ok, but mostly no-limit – which is all the rage now anyway.

Here is a safest and best list of poker sites to try, in my never humble opinion . Questions about anything - you can always drop a question here on the blog or drop me a line at npokerp@yahoo.com – Nik Faldo
