I am just an average poker player. I remember the days of crushing individuals when I was 18 on Party Poker and Microgaming Skins. I turned my $3 no deposit bonus into $150. I knew nothing about poker, I just played paint cards and suited aces and pairs.
Now --- no more no deposit bonuses and I'm stuck playing freeroll HORSE not knowing when the games change.
I guess you can contribute by telling me the fishiest poker site. People would say fulltilt because there are so many people on it, but it doesn't even match to the old days.
I'd have to say Pokerari or Raise And Fold, but the foreign players are getting better. Man, I loved the northern Europeans on Microgaming. All bad cards, all the time.

So am I In the 15 years I have been playing the game it hasn't changed that much. Oh yes, the players are getting younger ( I wish so did I ), since NoLimit is more popular then FixedLimit it has became more agressive and you'll find just 1 caller with rags at most vs your AA-raise. BUT you still get dealt 2 cards, you still have a FOLD option and it is still YOU that moves the chips across the yellow line...
In other words: if your game doesn't improve, you SUCK at poker
Impossible to play poker in low limit there (only ultra turbo,10 players games), so here there many fishs : First the players, all some lotto gamblers with totally no brain then, the second fish is the lobby himself : its so crap, there is no choice of play (just those turbos) and the fees are enormous (you pay 3$, they take .6 of those 3$, mean you make 2.4 $ sng's -_- )
And dont say Full tilt is a fish lobby. Okay, there is many fish like in all lobbys, but the game is still correct IMO.

You wrote that you stuck on playing freerolls, so What you expect to find in freerolls? There players (or should I say gamblers) aren't risking anything by putting all chips all-in and they expecting to catch something and take a pot. They think that every hand have same chance to win.
The site more fishes I've found is PokerStars, because they have a lot of customers so, it's easy to find a fish. I don't like freerolls because people play in a crazy way. That's not real poker.
Ah, if you want to play against fishes, maybe you should find me in pokerstars, because I'm a very very big fish

Posted by photolong: Bigbet poker full of fishy players but they hit all the time plus loads of youre fellow countrymen and its a very nice site to play on
I agree, I also lost about 200$ on that site, when pushing all in on flop and player with a gutshot straight draw call's and get's there on river.
