Another Internet Poker Site Review

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

I have been researching poker sites for a couple of years now - 214 to be exact! Sites - not years!

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 list - in order - of the best that are still open to USA players:

1. Poker Stars - no other site is close. Five stars!!!!!

2. World Poker Exchange - no rake!, nice tournaments, and a sports bookie!

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

4. Absolute Poker - I don't like the software but plenty of freerolls

5. Full Tilt Poker - Expensive tourneys and alot of rebuy tourneys which I don't like

6. Bugsy's Club - Nice software, but not too many players

7. Jungle Poker - less players than Bugsy

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

9. Bo Dog Poker - I hate the software, but a big site and a sports bookie.

10. True Poker - Nice graphics for ring play, but not alot of tournaments.

11. 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. Ring and SNG's ok.

12. Sportsbook - No poker yet - but soon - and a sports book.

Here is a safe list of poker sites to research. Questions about anything - you can always drop a question on the blog or drop me a line at npokerp@yahoo.com

It must be noted that you think most of these sites "have it in" for you even though the biggest ones (Pokerstars for sure) submit their source code card "shuffler" to an independent auditing firm.

Just wanted to point that out.

However, the jury is still out on some of the river cards that have appeared at NPP for certain players. Miracles???

Herbavor, it is her constant begging for more that is tiring.

Naw, it is alot of evenings in hotel rooms (after the bad beat on the tourney, the porn site visit, the shower and wash cloth) researching poker sites.
