I hope this is the appropriate place to post this.

I'm looking to start right at micro sakes again and work my way up. Mostly cash games and single table sng's. Occasional MTT's. I use Pkertracker 4. I'm a Canadian player and I won't be making a deposit for a week or so yet. I plan on doing a little homework and forum thread cruising first.

1) I have accounts on Pokerstars, Full Tilt, and 888. Historically I've preferred to play on Full Tilt. However after Black Friday I started playing mostly on PS.

Does Full Tilt have decent traffic again? Is it worth looking at as my primary site again? Is there another site I'm not on that I should look at? How's 888 these days?

2) Is full ring dead? Seemed like it was headed that direction a couple years ago?

3) What's the state of fast fold poker? Any thoughts on fast fold vs. standard tables?

4) Is online poker as a whole still growing? Is there a consistent crop of new players coming into the game?

5) And obviously.. any general advice for a guy who hasn't been around in a couple of years who's starting again in the micro-stakes?

Thanks.
1. PokerStars is still #1, and Full Tilt is still #2. They're both owned by the same company now.

2. Full ring is the exact same game as six-max when the first three players fold. If players after that are playing too tight, then you should be able to take advantage.

3. My understanding is that the fast fold tables are somewhat tighter than regular tables, but that's not necessarily a bad thing since a lot of people play like robots in them which equals big money if you take advantage.

4. Online poker has been in a slight decline for a while.

5. Play a solid game and don't tilt. You'll still have an edge, but you have to be consistent.

Good luck btw
