    Well now that shit hit the fan on Bodog I have cashed out most of my roll & am looking for another site with some nice MTT's & these are the 3 I'm considering. Can any1 help with advice on this decision & some pros/cons etc. on any of the sites that would help to make this decision easier?? Also for those of you who play on FTP, is the cashout process fixed yet for U.S. players or are players funds still frozen?

    Thanks

    No more guarantees, or significantly lowered ones, so basically you don't get any value for your $ anymore. For example the old 11 pm 10k $200 +15 is now a 5K & currently has 22 people playing it and the sunday 25K $200 + 15 which typically had 100 + runners is going to be a 15k starting this sunday, No thanks.

    I think you might be mildly retarded. I don't know why, I just do.

    Full Tilt hands down. Make sure to get rakeback through P5s. Cashouts have been ok again. Checks take a week and bank wires take 2 days.

    The size of the UB tourneys is a good thing. It is still quite a challenge to get through 400-500 players and it doesnt take 10 hours if you reach a final table. For some of us who have jobs and cant play through the night, that is a big plus

    Uhm, I <title>Enter text here.</title>don't really understand why anyone still plays on UB/AP after that whole scandal. FTP and stars have been the most truste<title>Enter text here.</title>d sites for years, so stick to those.

    But like, I am honestly curious is playing at UB/AP worth dealing with their shady past? As is there no chance for it to happen again?

    There are a lot of reasons to play on other sites. The games are softer, they give more value back to players, and they're willing to spend a lot of money on player retention. I'm not necessarily saying UB/AP (though I play there sometimes with no problems), but there are several poker sites that are well worth playing beyond Stars and Full Tilt....even for players in the US.

    But like, I am honestly curious is playing at UB/AP worth dealing with their shady past? As is there no chance for it to happen again?

    I personally think it's up to a matter of opinion about whether what happened there means that you should never give them another chance. There are obviously a lot of people with both opinions, and really neither is wrong or right. It's a personal decision based on personal feelings about that company and what has happened there and what's currently happening there.

    Alright, well thank you all for your responses except for the mildly retarded ones, don't see why that's necessary but whatever helps you get through the day, to everyone else I appreciate the help and responses.

    Thank you,

    Josh
