    Default Best sites for high stakes play?

    I love playing at Full Tilt. I think they have some of the best software around and easy games to beat. These games become 10x easier when one of the many pros who endorse the site sit down. At FT whenever a pro sits to play a session the table name turns red on the list so everyone knows it. then everyone flocks to these tables and just throws money at them. if you can get in one of these games its usually a good thing.

    But im wondering what are other good higher stakes cash game sites? any info would be great

    Ultimate Bet is by far the best high stakes cash game site.

    Have you guys ever heard of

    jetsetpoker.com {URL edited in case this is spam... I'm not sure it is. More like a poker room review. - Xianti}

    JetSet has some great NL games, both ring tables and tournaments. JetSet has some unique things happening as far as I know. It is not a skin of anything. It is constantly having new features and game variations added.

    Jetset won the 2004 Best New Site Concept Award by Gambling Online Magazine. JetSet also garnered an Editor’s Pick Gold Award and a Top New Poker Site Silver Award by GOM.

    JetSet has an extensive tournament selection. They regularly hold Headhunter and J-Speed (Turbo) tournaments that spice up the selection to go with their normal buy-ins and satellites. Headhunter tournaments place bounties on players equivalent to their tournament ranking. Some of the bounties can be multiples of the tournament buy-in. These can get a little loose needless to say.These Headhunters are also available as sit ‘n go tables. J-Speeds have accelerated blind levels to speed things up. There is a $10,000 Super Saturday Tournnamentt every Saturday afternoon and they are having a live tournament in St. Kitts in the fall this year with winners of satellites receiving $5,000 trips for 2 and entries into all the poker events that week. JetSet also has PaiGow poker (that's kind of poker slot machine) and PaiGow tournaments. They have re-buy satellites that are a riot and WSOP seats are up for grabs too.

    JetSet also has a bunch of money–added freeroll tournaments everyday with pretty nice payouts. Additionally, the freeroll payout structure is more inclusive than most sites as a 400 player freeroll pays out 45 places! Each Saturday they also host a larger freeroll in which the winner receives a pretty prestigious custom avatar and a small player biography on their website.

    As far as bonuses go, JetSet 25% initial deposit bonus. They have periods where that initial buy-in bonus can be as high as 50%. There is a Refer-A-Friend program ( if you say that synthesist sent you , you get an extra $25 when you make your first real money deposit) and there are High Hand Jackpots every night of the week at a variety of tables.
    JetSet has some of the best graphics and playability of any poker site I’ve looked at or played at. Each player can pick a cartoon avatar from a wide selection and each face comes with a selection of four different facial expressions. The “buttons” for folding, calling, and betting are also very nice and easy to use. You can also win a “unique” custom pokerface avatar which is pretty cool.

    JetSet’s optional extras are excellent too. My favorite is an instant last-hand history that let’s you look back at the 50 previous hands and is easily accessed from your table. Jetset’s software also supports emotes which are fun also. There is a hand stat feature and site administrators can quickly be called to any table to handle abuse or other issues. Customer support is excellent at JetSet and many players regard their support as being the best on the Internet. Emails are quickly returned and as I mentioned, administrators are only a keystroke away.

    The downside to JetSet Poker is that the traffic on the higher ring tables is rather light outside of peak hours and the poker site occasionally experiences a lag at these peak hours.

    Overall, JetSet Poker is a quality site with a high volume of freerolls with great payouts, excellent graphics, and a unique tournament selection. Their customer support is unmatched on the web and their promotions are great.

    I'm curious about that too...what makes them the best? I like to hear that they are, as I like their interface and look forward to playing there more (Interpoker's Mid-stakes definitely takes the cake from my exp).

    I promise to tone it down in the future and I am not affiliated with Jet in any way.

    Sure could have fooled me.... I am a business man and that was a spit right there. Your trying to sell a product to an audience plain and simple... Not to mention it was your first post. Not to mention the amount of times you use the company name was borderline anoying when reading the post...

    And if it helps I stoped reading after the first couple lines, browsed it briefly, and don't plan on moving to this site.

    But thanks for the heads up

    We're going to have an affiliate link for JetSet Poker soon.


    Again (as I stated in my edit to synthesist's post above), I'm not convinced that this is spamming. Seems like a poker room review, albeit extremely thorough.

    I love JetSet too. It has been my SugarDaddy for the last year. It is so easy to beat the 5/10, 10/20 that I hesitate even telling others about it.
