Whose games are softer?
I see PP has beginner's tables under .5/1, how long can you play at those?
Do you really need 300BB to play .5/1 at PP?

I'm sorry I couldn't find the answers with the search button, and I appreciate your input.

I haven't played a ton at PokerStars, but I'm still going to say Party has softer games. (Mostly because it's impossible for any game to be softer than Party's.)

The bankroll thing has been done to death. If you can put more money into it at anytime, don't worry so much about having 300 bets at your disposal at all times.

If you can't, do.

I initially only played at party. I lost $100, bought and read WLLH and SSHE and deposited $50. I made a bankroll from that $50 at PP sufficient to play 2/4. I have found the games at times to be slightly harder at PS, but my win rate is only slightly smaller at PS than at PP--no way to tell for sure why that is, only an observation. Good luck.

I'd go with Party unless you don't have $500 to invest in the $100 deposit bonus or you've already deposited before. At the real micro limits I've found the difference to be fairly negligable but PS seems to have more aggression than pary. With Poker Stars there is no initial deposit bonus to worry about voiding. But if you don't care about the deposit bonus on Pary or just want to go with the $25 bonus go there.

Both have some very soft games. The difference is that you can sit down at four random party tables and they will probably all be good but you will have actually look at the tables on Stars to make sure you have some good ones.

Also don't forget that the rake on Stars is lower.

You can play on the beginner tables for 45 days on PP. I have been playing for the last month - they are very beatable playing ABC poker /images/graemlins/grin.gif If you are worried about your bankroll I suggest playing the $0.25/0.50 tables to begin with. From my experience PP has the softer games.
