i left Hollywood for awhile because the software is slow. BoDog was nice but i didn't fare to well at the $20's there. I decided to give eurobet a try. After that, i can honestly say that i will never play at the paryt network again. i got hit with just a ridiculous streak of bad beats and starting with only 800 chips is awfull. I'm back to BoDog for awhile, hopefully things will turn for the better there.

Well, I got a nice 50% deposit bonus at Paradise and started playing there. Guys, it sucks. You can only play one SNG at a time. One. One? One! What are they thinking? The software is way slow and the players are the worst I've run into. Bad beats? Dished out on a continuous basis. You cannot put any player on a hand. Not just any two suited, but it could be any two, period. I've gotten no traction at all at this site. The software is as slow as my math skills and has some really, REALLY funky quirks when you get down to heads up. You have to use the slider ALWAYS to make a bet, not a raise, a BET. It highlights the box within the slider and you must use it. It won't take what's highlighted and allow you to push the button to raise, you have to move it. Can't type a number, it won't work. It's bizarre.

Also, if you're chatting, the chat will appear in the slider box. How's that for strange software?

Had a few minutes, so I was gonna play a few hands on a $50NL table. What? No 10man $50NL at 7 p.m. EDT? How can that be???

Advise--Avoid Paradise Poker. Even a 50% bonus up to $100 is not worth the aggravation.

CJ,
PokerStars now has $10+1 5 table SnGs.
The 2 tables are fine by me, but I will give the 5 tables a shot soon.
They only pay 7, but first is over $140.

ok, I tried out Poker Stars, I can now add that to my list of sites I will never play again. After 100 $10 SnG's I have never been drawn out on more.

As we used to say on the Internet a long time ago--YMMV--your mileage may vary. I've always found PS to have fewer than any other site I've played. How odd. Unfortunate for you, my friend. Unfortunately for all of us, it happens on all. See my post about Paradise on the Poker Sites forum. YMMV.

CJ--now playing only on PS, maybe

Geez you guys-You have to play somewhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just read all these posts and nobody mentioned the Crypto sites for their S&G's. I've never played them but from what I have seen at their ring games, the players are tighter than anywhere else most of the time. Now I don't know for a fact that this would translate to better play on the S&G's, but for those of you who are complaining about all these other sites, it may be something to check out. bobby is right, you have to play somewhere.

Pokerstars just had a reload bonus 25% just ended @11:59 mon night.

I'm 1/7 of the way to clearing $150 playing only SNGs and MTTs. I really like PS, esp the 15+1 Turbos. Doing very nicely on them.
