    OK, so I signed up today on party poker...I have been playing pokerstars for about 18 months, doing fairly well. The site reviews here said Party Poker is really soft and a buddy of mine sent me the "Sign up and you'll get $25" thing so I figured what the heck.
    First impressions, wow, they really are donkeys! Second, I hate the ultra quick flop when someone goes all in...guess I will get used to it.
    Looking for some advice. Anything I should know or check out on Party? I play $20 sng NLHE on Pokerstars usually, probably will do the same on Party.
    Anyone have any advice?
    Also, I want to deposit at more more site. I decided to use some Pokerstars winnings to get accounts on some more sites...thinking Bodog or UB...UB has a 100% sign up, so leaning that way. Anyone have any advice on where to put my next deposit?
    Thanks in advance

    UB's deposit bonus should not be considered in your analysis. Needless, to say I am not a once a week player, and still have had zero success in clearing the bonus. For all intensive purposes it doesn't exist. They make it so imposssibly difficult to clear, that a case can be made for false advertising when they say they are giving u a bonus. In fact, they are giving the "my account page" a bonus, and that is likely where it will remain forever.

    3 tabling .50/1 up to 1/2 on UB.. i've cleared the bonuses decently fast. Maybe the value just isn't as good if you play higher limits - it seems like a decent value at those levels.

    "intensive purposes" it's "intents and purposes" for your future reference ;)
