    888Poker. I think I started using it because I got some free tokens for it.

    Just wondered if anyone else used it as when I was looking last night it seemed some people have had bad experiences of it but elsewhere I saw it was rated the third best.

    Bad experiences happen everywhere.. Some donkey rivering you is the most infuriating thing ever :56:

    Like you shove all in with trip A's and he calls with a gut shot straight and gets it:smiley-laughing002:

    I use PaddyPower, but I'm a bit of a novice.

    Pokerstars. It's the only site busy enough to have enough players and decent prizes for the games I like to play (HORSE, 8 Game)

    Been working my way through the satellites

    Step 1 1cent
    Step 2 10 cents
    Step 3 $1
    Step 4 $5
    Step 5 $30

    So now have a $160 ticket to one of the games. Don't know whether to play one of the games with a bigger cash prizes, play for a step 6 ($600) ticket or play one of the games where the prize is a package to either the tournament in Tallinn or one in Malta.

    Anybody everyone won a place in one of these tournaments or know anyone that has ?
