View Full Version : the nuances between Party Poker and Pokerstar MTT?


11-12-2005, 07:48 PM
I am a tournament player that loves to play large fields and like any other rational person follows the money. I am making the switch to Party Poker and was wondering how exactly does the 1k in starting chips change moves you would have normally made under the Stars structure (1.5k in chips )?

The biggest difference I foresaw was the reduced ability to play speculative hands but that is all I could think of. Any help would be appreciated!

the blinds start lower at Party, so the stack size difference isn't all that big... what's big, is that Party has no antes. So stealing becomes far less profitable, and you dont get into panic-mode quite as fast.

Are the values of certain hands diminished under this structure like I thought?

Also, the no-ante implementation allows you to wait for premium cards or is the same style of play suggested?
