So I withdrew my intire bankroll from Full Tilt (just wasn't happy playing there). Now I'm searching for a new site to deposite and play.
I'm having problems choosing between everest and mansion. everest is a good site with a lot of fish and and a good loyalty program. I can't have the no deposit bonus since I already have an account.
at mansion on the other side, the loyalty program seems very hard to accomplisch and I don't know the players level. They do have a very good first deposit bonus and very nice guaranteed tournaments.
If you play at one of these sites or have played on them, please share your experiences about them so hopefully it will be easier for me to choos .

Mansion is on the Ipoker network now, so if you choose Mansion you will have good traffic 24/7. Some people say the players are tight on Ipoker but I think that on a site with 20-30K players in peak hours there are plenty of donks to pay you. The Ipoker software is a bit old and slow but runs great imo it's very user friendly and has the best HH of the softwares I tried which makes it easy to check how opponents played last hand.
I would look for a cashback/rakeback deal on one of the biggest sites and build my VIP level to get even more bang for my buck.
So google around and find best combination of huge player base and good bonus/rakeback deal.

wow i play at Fulltilt and its hard for me to play anywhere else?? why dont you like it ? but out of the two Mansion and everest id deffo choose mansion i find it a little smoother and deffo more fish... good luck with you bankroll.
I just signed in at full tilt for the bonus (which is very easy to clear) and made some good money in the process, still I never had that feeling the site was something for me, I had some bad runs (I know it's a part of the game and stuff) but I just decided for myself this wasn't the site for me so I want to search my luck elsewhere .
EDIT : I play 10 - 20 NL shorthanded cash games (4tabling) and I do like to play some low buy-in MTT's (if the pay out ratio is good enough). SNG's are not really my thing (I like to play some double up or nothing sng's but really not on a regular basis).

Choose mandion poker of course!! Better traffic, much better software a better variety of tables. And the VIP program is very good. The points are not difficult to achieve and VIP levels have great benefits! The mansion store have good products and the support is good! Mansion should be your choice!
