ok, I haven't read all the responses yet, so I may write more in a few minutes. Most of my play has been cash rather than SnGs, but what I'm saying applies to both...

Fish are eminently beatable. If you can't beat fish you'll be owned by decent players if you ever find them.

Badbeats happen. Deal with it. If you're playing to decent BR specs it shouldn't matter. Decent BR specs means that I know you have well over $1k in roll as you were playing $50NL.

You obviously aren't US based - makes life easier for you. I can't really comment on the client interfaces as I don't know what floats your boat. In my opinion:
Purple is, indeed, very purple. But ok besides that.
Party (and skins) are good.
Pacific is good.
all of these have decent bonus promotions too - take advantage of these (click my op link signature below if you want to see why..)

ummm. Nice one. But perhaps there is still a lot to learn? I know next to nothing, but I'm working on it...

Two very simple questions. How much have you deposited across sites, all time? How much have you withdrawn across sites, all time?

but maybe you had such a low m that they had odds to call, even with 29! Post the hand histories, it's only a suckout if you were both all-in preflop, and if you were both allin preflop it suggests that you're not really playing good poker
