Which sites do players find the toughest/easiest to win at??
Here are my top 3 in order for both categories( variety of games but no high limit tables although I do play some PL and NL):

TOUGHEST

1 POKERSTARS
2 ULTIMATEBET
3 TRUEPOKER

EASIEST

1 WILLIAMHILL (aka Intercasino, UKbetting and others)
2 PARTYPOKER (aka EmpirePoker)
3 POKERROOM


Anyone want to put their list up?

UltimateBet's software sucks. In low limit hold'em they have done away with the skill factor. The software was written so that the skilled players couldn't come down and rape the low limit players. You're just as likely to win with pocket 7-2 as you are with pocket aces there. The luck factor is just too much to overcome. The wild and crazy player is at a definite advantage there. Pocket aces don't mean shit there. IMHO.

How is that reflective of the software?

I definitely think that Pokerstars is the toughest. It seems like the toughest site by far for me. I don't want to list my easiest because I want to keep guys like all of you here as far away from me as possible.

I don't understand this post at all. Most of the pros I talk to think UB has the best software. So I doubt it was designed to thwart them! In fact, I think they had a bunch of pros on as consultants.

UB's software is much better than its competition (IMHO).

Anyway, the games are a bit fishier at Party only because of the higher volume, but they are pretty damn fishy at UB. I play $2-4 there and there are definitely some decent players but the games are very beatable.

Poker Room is very beatable too, but I think kind of boring.

For me, UB is the place to be, but I can see how an argument can be made for Party Poker.
