What are the softest online poker sites?

[Bawse]

What poker sites do you think have the easiest players? What site do you win on the most?

Stock Poker is and was the softest site that I have played in a long time.

The smaller the site, the weaker the playing field seems to be, in my experience. Not sure why.

The downsides of small sites are obvious enough...often hard to get action, lots of tournaments get cancelled for not getting a minimum # of players registered, they don't get enough income flowing in to offer large prize pools.

Even considering all that, the profitability outweighs the downsides, at least for micro players like myself. It's why I appreciate p.c highlighting small sites, two of which I hadn't even heard of before (DarkSide and a de-affiliated site), and I try to keep my ear to the ground with these things. Keep up the good work!

I heard sky poker is kind of soft and ClubWPT is soft as well

Oh yes...ClubWPT is soft as hell, maybe the softest site I have ever played on, but IMO the juice isn't worth the squeeze because they only run about 1 tournament a day where it's possible to recoup the monthly fee ($33), and of course each of these tournaments has thousands of runners.

You can get a free week on ClubWPT, which for me turned to an additional month when I tried to cancel, but as soon as they stop throwing me free time I'm done with them.

I'm confused. Is it real money?

888poker is one site that I play on and I am always feeling like a poker pro when I play there. I always have a high volume of wins there. It is like they have many recreational players on the site. But I don't like playing much there because it doesn't improve my game much.

Yeah, it is, but you pay a monthly subscription fee (rather than buying into tournaments directly), for which you get in-game currency, which you can then spend in tournaments and win more in-game currency, which you can turn around and exchange for real money.

But as I said, IMO they don't offer enough tournaments to recoup your monthly subscription fee. It's like one tournament a night where you can win it back in one go.

I'd say smaller sites tend to be softer since they attract more recreational players like Americas Cardroom or BetOnline often have fishier games than PokerStars. But honestly, it changes all the time.
