i like 888poker works really well - easy withdraw of money and a lot of really good freerolls! i prefer 888poker to any other sites
 
You will always take more beats online than live because you play a ton of more hands. Do a rough check and see for yourself. online poker is not rigged.

Unlike most on this forum that say it is rigged (like person above) you can check my credibility and experience easily by searching for me on any Poker Tracking site.

Here are my favourite and trusted sites and there are great Cardchat freerolls on them.

I just started online gaming because I don't have enough time to play live, but I feel exactly the same. Comparing to live game it is just too many bad beats, and hands that are not normal. So I decided not to make any deposit ( and it is hard to do it from my country right now ) and to try making bankroll from freerolls. But I do get feeling that I am playing against Mike Postle and that skill doesn't mean much. On tournaments online I got at prices by not playing my strongest hands ( i had nuts full wich I just checked on the river, while the opponent had poker). I 'll see how it goes, but I would like your opinion is there any good site to play or are all same?

888 has a lot of freerolls for beginners you can easily build a bankroll for free from scratch on there. One drawback is that most of these freerolls are turbo and hyper turbo structure so plenty of of gamble and risk taking necessary in these freerolls.

Overall 888 has a good reputation and I consider it a trusted site. I never had any issues with them. Cardschat ranks it as the best site.

yea I know that theory, but I had more bad beats in two tournaments online than a whole year live, and that kind of hands happens rarely in live tournaments. I am playing on Stars for now, but I started to get hang of it, knowing that my best hands are the ones who will get me off the tournament. I started avoiding that kind of hands and that got me a price. And I have noticed, after I go all in and lose, if I still got a solid amount of chips, next hand I go all in and 95% of the time I will win. I have beaten KK with 52 offsuit, AA with J% had more of those, and came on top
 
I've had a few issues of the software crashing but otherwise okay. A lot of good freerolls. Not keen though that nearly all there tournaments are multi entry & rebuy.
 
Got many bad beats on 888 but also made some good money from micros. Regarding their software, never had a problem. On the other hand, support sucks and you need to wait few days until you get an answer from them. Same for withdrawals..
 
Most of the players who are complaining about 888 support here are ignorant about this fact that 888 has a live support as well which in most cases provide the solution instantly.
This support is located in the cashier page and it is very to access it.
I have already sorted out a lot of complaints from there instantly like conversion of $5 freeplay into $5 casino bonus, missing tourney tickets, missing sports Free bets and locking of account due to IP change.

So Pals, Be informative about the features of 888. You will enjoy it.

Apart from the fact, that the poker client tend to crash, if you lose your internet connection, I have never had any issues with 888 Poker. Withdrawals take 3 banking days, and the one time, I contacted their support, they responded within 24 hours. I have also done reasonably well in their tournaments. Anyone is welcome to check on www.sharkscope.com. My username on 888 Poker and PokerStars is the same as here.

I did not realise about this online help and would have liked to use it. The only time I have messaged them the reply did not answer the question. Is this for general help then? I figured being in the cashier section it was for depositing help as they have a specific help drop down that has no mention of live help. Find it odd it is not located under help if it is a general live help. I cannot remember what I was asking the original time but gave up as the first request took several days.

Great promotions on the site though.

For me it is not my internet crashing but the client. I am live on other sites when this has happened. However I have uninstalled the client several times and removed all cookies/cleared internet browser cache then reinstalled and fingers crossed has seemed stable the last few weeks although I have not played much.
 
Sorry to hear that, I like 888, and have had a pretty good experience.. I am on a bit of a downstreak lately, but thats just a little bad luck and it always turns around lol
 
I know everyone at one point thinks the sites are rigged because of bizarre bad beats but without actually seeing the programming, one will presumably never know.
 
Old topic but I've never had any major problems with 888.

Good promotions, soft fields and the client runs well for me.

Only issues are not being able to multitable on mobile and the all in sound effect! 😀

888 support is one of the worst ever. Yes i know there is live support but these people cant even answer the simpelest questions most of the time. Email support is also very bad, takes them days to come back at you with some generic, not helpfull answers.
