The number of players on Carbonpoker.com, part of the mere network, had been weak lately. This can be a good thing, but not when there are only a couple of NLHE cash tables running in the $10 to $50 buy-ins. This forces one to either move down in stakes with the lottery style players or up in stakes outside of ones bankroll parameters. The SNG tables are filling slowly. The regular tournaments are ok, just not that many so if you miss a time slot you are again forced to play below or above your preferences.
Full Tilt is a site I chose to avoid a few years ago. Mostly because of all the bad advice out there that poor players follow. The advice tells you to find someone that is Tight Agressive and call their raises with any connected cards (like 6 7 for example) or small pairs or any 2 suited cards even. Then see it to the river and you will win. You get several callers every time you raise and you will go broke. You can not isolate against a table full of lottery players so big hands get broken a lot.
Things changed over the years so it is much easier to play on Full Tilt now. Not easier for just anyone to win, but easier to play sound poker. Lots of action and tables to choose from. It can actually be hard to get into a SNG as the tables fill fast. Lots of tournaments starting up constantly. And with 45, 90 and even 180-player SNG's constantly staging you can pretty much pick something that works with the time frame you want to play in.
