party vs empire

[reddred]

I know most players on this site consider Party to be the softest games on the net. Recently, I got a rakeback deal with empire, and was psyched to start playing there to work the rakeback deal, and also, I'm used to the software from party, and just figured I'd transfer my normal winning, low limit and tourny game there. Well, after clearing the bonus, I just got destroyed....you've heard the story before, just a case of 2nd best hand itis, mixed in with bad beats.....my question is, though, is the competition thought to be much tougher at empire than party? Is the average 1/2 player much better there, in your opinion?

[Seether]

Let me let you in on a little secret. They are the same tables, there is no difference in the game.

[Onaflag]

You are playing against then exact same players on both sites. They are just different entrances into the same poker room.

Same ring game players on Party and Empire (and, Multi, Eurobet, Intertops and Pokernow), just different ways to enter.

Are you sure? Because I was 8-tabling Party and Empire clearing the $200 bonus and did much much better on Party. 40PTBB/100 vs 2PTBB/100.

[reddred]

Well thats what I figured, about the players for both sites playing both places......maybe it's just a a bad run of cards, or luck. It's just I can consistently beat party 1 and 2, and low limit SnG's, but my experience on Empire has been I can't even win 2 hands back to back....anyway, thanks for the input....

If you think Empire is soft, you should try Multi. Oh, my GOD...! The players there suck! And the supply of fish? it doesn't even compare to party or empire!!!!!

Good luck.

Thanks for a good laugh... I needed it after a bad day.

I will be nice and let you know that they have the same player pool.

One is rigged, the other is not.

[SackUp]

dude, people on empire [censored] hack!

I always played party and did well and then I started playing on empire and started doing all crappy. I figured out why though. People at party are able to play at the same tables as empire people, but empire doesn't pick up the party hacks b/c they are run throug the party software. The party players are way smarter and just take advantage of all the Empire players. Watch out! I wouldn't play at Empire till it figures out how to prevent party hacks on it's tables.

maybe the blue in the empire skin makes you play bad? /images/graemlins/grin.gif

It's not that all the players play both sites, its the exact same table. For example, when you sit down at a table with Party poker, the other people at that same table could be using Empire, Eurobet, PokerNow, Multipoker, Intertops, or any combination of those.

Empire produces numerous single and multi-table Tournament Masters every month. Party awards points for depositing.

You be the judge.

[Blarg]

They won't let you smoke at the table at Empire, but they will at Party, so it's an easy choice.
