Nothing beats PokerStars, with the lower rake, more traffic etc.
husngs run at merge, ongame, ipoker and party, but all have higher rake and less traffic (not sure about merge rake).

What is 2nd best? I don't play on stars cos they untracked me (claiming that I'm tracked to some other site which I never heard of before.)
Not really sure. You should check the husng forum on 2+2, they will know for sure.
Stars has the lowest rake, but there are a few rooms with decent rake structures. Everest's rake is good, as is iPoker's and 888.
Nice blog, will follow.

Imo this ^
But if I have to choose to play somewhere else I probably will play merge network.
I have heard that since Ipoker changed lobbies there is problems with husng action.
Yeah, I play untracked too 
My only hope is that FTP2 opens and PokerStrategy is an affiliate 
Since there's a 100% deposit bonus I won't move to 888 yet. I'll go back to everest for a while and hope to find enough traffic during peak hours. I'll go to 888 when I move up a little and can rake enough to clear the full bonus. I already had to give up on two $1000 bonuses.. can't let that happen again. I'd rather see my BR grow BIIIIIGGGGG 
Hopefully FTP reopens and becomes worth going back to. I have about $220 over there, so about the size of my current br.
Wow I had forgotten how horrible this software is. All you get is a shitload of green lobby shit and a green BET POT button with a green slider that moves from 1x bet to about 10x in one click.
It takes ages for the first hand to be dealt once 2 players sign in. And if the green doesn't tilt you, disconnecting will. Anyways I played 3 games to reintroduce myself to the software and lost 2. It was mostly my fault though lol..
Not sure if I should set a goal to get to $1K on Everest and Betfair and then move to 888.

ahh i havent stopped completely.. playing for fun on pokerstars hence the bronze ( ) but im playing the lowest of the low HU SNGs. its so fun theres a lot more play in them. but some players are just painful to play against. im doing ok - only really picked it back up the other week so i guess im grinding them atm. i have some money set aside for poker when i finish uni as well.. cant wait!
how you getting on with it? what stakes you at? what site? tell me everything!

No! Read my blog! ♦
lol, Well in short I started the year with $55. Started studying HUsngs. It was rough at the beginning with a lot of swings but I've learned that most of the downswings were self-induced by playing tired/angry/upset. So after breaking even for 400 games (at least beating rake) I changed my priorities and mindset is number 1.
I'm playing on betfair and I just went back today to everest because HUsngs have 50% the tournament fee there so they're much easier to beat. I'll try to play most of the games on Everest.
As for stakes I'm beating up to the $5.50s but I'm staying there until I get to about $450.
Why such a nitty BRM? If you're not playing hypers 30-35BIs is more than enough IMO. Even 20 is considered "enough"...

The thing is that since I'm working on being as close to 100% concentrated as possible, feeling safe about not going bust is of absolute importance.
haha I made $17.5 on Everest so far 
Traffic is really bad though.
I checked out a few players from the lobby of the $10 game and they're all 15%+ ROI on sharkscope! What?! 
edit: $19.75 now and taking a break
Last 5 days' giraffe. Obv running above EV but mostly because of a few flips. Focusing on focusing seems to be working lol
This is both Betfair and today's games at Everest.
Since I believe I didn't play very well in this last game I'm gonna call it a day. Unfortunately something's wrong with HEM and I can't get to my hand histories so no evaluations and no reviews tonight
Hopefully I'll get it sorted tomorrow.
