The Nit loves Betfair, but also he has a bit on the side.

Right now, the nit plays most of his poker on Betfair, but he also has a small bankroll on Full Tilt. I was referred to Betfair by a friend when I was starting out and I stayed there for a few reasons: there is a small hardcore of decent players at the lower levels but most of the others are dead money; while the traffic does not match the bigger sites, there is usually enough going on to find profitable games; their customer service department have resolved any queries relatively quickly; and I guess it's just natural that success on a site can breed a kind of loyalty. However, it cannot compare to Full Tilt for the sheer number of full tables and the consequent ease of getting a game.
I use Full Tilt for experimetal purposes. I play Omaha, Limit Holdem and heads-up Sit and Go matches there, but on a smaller scale. Because the stakes are so small, I can easily try out new ideas without worrying too much if it all goes horribly wrong. The Heads-Up games are perrhaps the most useful as what I learn there leads to my getting more first place finishes in the Sit and Go games over on Betfair. Limit Holde'm has been especially interesting since learning it has given mne a greater focus on odds for draws and a better idea of how to begin to open up my range of starting hands. I mean, let's face it- it's not as if the Nit can be a winner without a few tricks up his sleeve. Overtime, it is quite likely that Full Tilt will be used more frequently, but Betfair will probably always account for a huge chunk of my play- I can beat the games there so it would be foolish to ignore that.
On another topic, the Nit has become aware of the various rakeback deals on offer and will be hitting up his sites for some cash back pretty quickly. Afterall, nits love sure things.
Next time: the Nit plays live in some dodgy home game.
