Site Information
Unfortunately, they only display the average pot size in the ring games, but watching the game for a minute or two before joining to see how loose everyone is playing will give you a general idea.
Cashouts
This place is wonderful, regarding cashouts. The first one may take a bit longer, but afterwards, the process is very quick (generally 24-48 hours through neteller). If you have the highest level of player status, cashouts to Neteller routinely occur within 12 hours.
Competition
The competition is varied. In the live games, often the competition is wild. It's not uncommon to see people go to the flop with Q6 (why oh why!). However, the site is large and does have its fair share of professionals. But in general, this site has some of the juiciest games at all stakes (candy, baby...put it together).
Customer Service
Their live help feature is pretty nice. But some of the agents aren't as helpful as you'd like at times.
