Default where should you play?

Why do I keep going back to Ladbrokes to play poker?? Been playing on betfair all week (I have gone from playing poker 9-12 hours per day in my heyday to about 2-3 hours per day now)(just random information) and shown a very reasonable profit. My results on pokerstars are absolutely fantastic but I have only played 3 MTTs in the past 12 months on there. Yet today, I am again depositing money in Ladbrokes who are not offering me a reload bonus (unlike pokerstars) or where I am winning this year (unlike befair). I do believe there are more Muppets who play like they see it on TV on ladies and therefore it should be easier to win, but I guarantee that within the next hour I will have got my money in, in front as an 80% favourite at least twice and come out losing. I like the software, and probably still think there is a “Ladbrokes” community. Are these actual reasons to play on Ladbrokes?? Where are you playing now and why?

Well i have been playing Laddies for five years now and although i have tried many other sites including....Stars...Sky...Paddy Power i still come back to Laddies...


WHY..?


The change over in my opinion hasnt improved the site at all.....

The muppet callers are there in mass now.....

Nearly 50% of all flops produce an ACE (unless i want one)....

Flush chasers always seem to hit....

Ive never had a penny off them in free play....


BUT...


I think its habit and although all of the above are my opinions i still consider it my home for poker....


Sky is ok but i cant get the feel for the game playing that site....

Stars has too many runners and the games take too long especially if going well in the evening.

Paddy Power is similar to Laddies.


In conclusion even though they give out nothing as a reward i will reckon i will still be there in 2 years time......

Default Why i play Skypoker

Many reasons,
there is a big choice of games !

Sit'n'go (6 seater)
Double your money (6 seater) (from 30p up to 200 quid entry)
MTT's deep stack slow (5000c chips) 12-15 min levels
MTT's fast (1500 -3000 chips) 7-10 min levels
Cash games (not for me these but each to their own)
Plus they have live events around the country

Biggest plus for me is all UK players (some old Laddies players in chat box)

Community forum
(nothing changes there though, moans and groans 'bad-beats' but some funny stuff as well)

Ive played there for nearly a year now, with about 4 visits to Ladbrokes for a 7 card tourney..(the horse thing finished me there )
So it suits me now to play on Skypoker. I think the main thing is to enjoy your poker and for me this is now home .. The TV makes it more interesting and enjoyable to watch and/or play ...!!
They are always listening to the players to improve the site and games, with interaction on the forum with presenters analyst and players..
My favourite games are the 'Double your Money' ( 6 seater ) you dont get lunatic's and you have to think about the tactic's to make the last 3 to double up ) Plus these games are around 15-30 mins which suits me fine !!
