Anybody here play?  If so, on what sites?

I play primarily on Poker Stars, but also on Full Tilt.  Used to on Absolute Poker until the cheating scandal there.

I play DONs on Stars and Sit and Go's on Tilt. Occasionally I'll play a cash game.

Those are the only two Mac compatible at this point.

I know a profitable player who plays those two as well as Cake, UB & Bodog. He says by far the worst players are on Cake. It's loaded with over aggressive Euros (Especially Russians).

I'm also looking at starting to stake other players.

We played on Starz, Tilt, and then on Bodog.  I loved the Sit n Go's.  We had to take it off and swear it off, because uh, someone, not me, got a little addicted to it.  I miss it, I used to have fun with it, for just a little money, nothing nuts.

I played on Zynga through Facebook.  I got sick of it, though, because the "strategy" of so many people is "just play anything."

IOW, not much different than real poker.  Then again, Zynga isn't real money, either.  I've found playing the way in a brick-and-mortar and online (tight/aggressive) tends to work best, but like they say, you gotta mix it up once in a while.

I played in real life in Vegas just a short while ago...Came in 3rd place once, and made the final table twice.  I only played  pocket queens and when I was the big blind... :uhsure:

I see how you are....I turn my back and you are hitting on another woman! 

BTW, HawkGirl...I am 1/2 way done piecing the quilt.  It's kind of a PITA but I am enjoying it.
