If I play for real money, what is the best site to play at?

A lot of players ask what is the best poker site to play at. This question is a bit difficult to answer, since it's like asking "What is the best car?". It really depends what you're looking for. If you're looking for the largest site, then PartyPoker is the most popular. Pokerstars is known for having good tournament games and customer support. Or if you're on a Mac or Linux, then you'll want to visit Poker room, which offers a Java based client.

In reality though, even though there are literally a hundred online poker sites to choose from, only 6-7 of those are sites you really want to play at. The reason for this is because only 6-7 of the poker sites actually get any real traffic and thus don't need to employ any tricks like bots or shills to play on the site for them. The five poker sites listed on the left navigation bar is a great place to start.
