I am interested in playing online poker. I have never played online poker before and after reading alot of posts here, it seems that everyone either plays on PSTARS or FULLTILT. Yet I have read alot of bitching about both sites.
 
Are there no other legitimate online poker sites to play at? (Are the other online poker sites just rip-offs?)
 
If PSTARS and FULLTILT are the only legitimate sites to play at, then which of these 2 sites is the best for a begginer (donk) like me?
 
Thanks in advance for your responses!

Not sure what site would be better for a newbie.
 
I'm sure if you start out at low staked on either you will be fine.
 
 
But to answer your first question, yes. Those are the only 2 sites you really need to have an account with.
 
I'm sure there are a couple others out there that might be ok, buddy of mine likes the new sites The Players Club
 
 
But Stats and Tilt are by far the 2 best online poker rooms. #3 is not even close.

my goodness i set a new record for typos lol
 
 
trying to play head-up to finish off a Sit-n-Go as we speak
 
 
 
staked = stakes
 
the new sites = the new site
 
But Stats and Tilt = But Stars and Tilt  
 
 
 
 
Dont post and play heads-up at the same time

In my opinion though Pokerstars has more amateur players than full tilt, so I'd start off on Pokerstars

There are other legitimate sites but I agree with Weathered. Those are the only 2 you really need to be on

How much are you going to deposit?
 
Online levels are much different than live.  $100 buyin live with blinds 2/3 is like .10/.25 $25 buyin online, and no higher than .25/.50 $50 buyin

No its the same tables, tournament etc. There will might be some exclusive promotions at one room that the other room do not have. For exsample Doyles sometimes got bounty-tours where Doyle Brunson is playing. These tournament is only for Doylesrooms players.

They only diff. is that DR does not offer rakeback at the moment, as far as I know. If you want to play on the cake network you should sign up from a affiliate providing you with 33% rakeback at this network.

You can for exsample get 33% rakeback at cakepoker here : https://www.rakebackaid.com/rakeback/5862/Cake-Poker.html

Or at Players Only who also are a cake network room here :

Dont sign up at FullTilt without being set up with rakeback first.  PM me if you have any questions about getting set up with rakeback.  You get 27% cashback on your rake at FT.

agree that PS and FTP are the main ones. Cake Poker and a couple others are ok as well. Absolute Poker is a joke and along w/ Ultimate Bet should be avoided due to issues in the past
