I have a background in computer software and systems. I was partners in a computer software company for 10 years before I sold my interest in 2002. This knowledge and background gives me a health respect and fascination for online poker rooms. I have thoroughly “Road Tested” some 80 plus sites both approved for USA players and some that aren’t. As many of you know there are only a dozen or so distinct software packages for U.S.A approved sites and many of the rooms have the same games/tournaments which they share in common with just minor variations. I enjoy and play a lot at the Cake Family of Poker of rooms including Doyle’s Room, Players Poker and 10 or 12 others. Most recently a medium size room that I have enjoyed, PokerWorld moved to the Cake Platform. Lock Poker is also a new room on the Cake network. I happen to like Players and Doyle’s the best of this group for their Tournaments. I play a fair amount at Poker Stars, Ultimate Bet (which I prefer over its twin Absolute Poker), Timeless/Minted poker along with Carbon/Wass/PDC Poker rooms. They are all very good. For some reason I put Bodog Poker at or near the top of my list. It has its quirks and you either like it or hate it but I like the way the tables are displayed. The configuration allows you to play multiple tournaments (which I am doing most of the time now) and know right where you are at a quick glance. Bodog is easy to use, is well supported and has good cash games and tournament for all levels. With all that said I don’t have just one favorite. All of sites have great incentives and freerolls so I often go where the best Games are being played.
