I want to clear out a huge misconception. What you here a lot at two plus two is that "the pro’s will go to where the fish is", which is true, but that this somehow implies that they therefore will go to Partypoker. This is just not true.
Sure there are lots of fish at Party, but hey they are growing at a slower rate than almost any other poker room. Just look at the sites connected to sportsbetting that is where you find the new fish. There are plenty of other sites that are running great promotions to attract new players. Look at the network run by boss media (ipn), which has come from nothing to +2000 players / evening in less than a year. I would say that most of the other networks outside Party are attracting more fish, an exception might be Stars and Ultimate Bet (which are more seasoned), so
“Why give up the rakeback, when you can have bigger fish and better rakebacks at other sites”
The reason to have played at Party was not really the fish, but the great integration of pokertracker, game+ etc. but the support for other sites have improved greatly, so there is no longer any need to be restricted to Party.
That is why I stand behind those who will no longer (also on principle) accept huge rakes taken out of my profits every month. Now I know that I can have even bigger fish +bonus / rakeback.
So Party, join the club and offer better loyalty programs or keep loosing valuable customers.
