should i switch to party?

[Chiefs Fan]

i play .5/1 paradise, have about 9,000 hands total so far at about 2.7 bb/100 right now

should i switch to party poker? or does it really matter? from all the talk i guess its super fishy there.

[ebranig]

party is much fishier than paradise. I just sent you a pm

[eric5148]

Yes, Party is a little easier, even though the rake is slightly higher.

I've got good news: if you can beat Paradise .5/1 you can beat Party 1/2. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

I play at both casinos (0.5/1)!

BB/100 Paradise: 3.13
BB/100 Party: 6.62

Do I have to say that I play more and more at Party?! /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

If you're not playing at one of the Party skins (I prefer Empire), you are doing yourself and your bankroll a disservice. When there are 40,000+ people logged in and playing on a Thursday evening, you should have no problem finding a "good" table.

Been lurking for a couple weeks now. Interesting forum guys. Anyway what is a party "skin" like empire. I play at Party now, used to play at pokerroom.com, but I don't know what a skin is.

[laceratedsky]

Basically, Empire and Party both feed into the same lobby. So if you play at Party you are also playing with people who play at Empire. Technically, they are 2 different card rooms.

I have played at both and find them similar around 4BB per 100 hands.

right now actually you should consider playing at pokerstars a little.

now is the time to check it out if you have ever been so inclined as they are offering a 25% deposit bonus up to $150 through Monday ($600 deposit for the full bonus).

it takes awhile to clear the bonus....but you can just deposit the money to get the bonus and withdraw the funds the next day if you want and the bonus-money will still be there waiting for you to clear.


stars games are a bit tougher though....but i don't think they are as tough as UB. i have actually found a few fishies there....and since they are getting more and more players at stars that also equals more and more fishies.
still not very comparable to party...a lot of tables on stars are virtual rock-gardens. but hey...you can practice your stealing!!! many of the players are pretty weak-tight.


anyway...just thought i'd point that out....
Stars does NOT offer a 1st-time deposit bonus...so if you have never played there before and have thought about it NOW is the time.


otherwise...to answer your question more directly....yes, you should check out the games at party. they are a bit fishier than paradise imo. there's also no reason you can't play at both.


for more info on party-skins (and securing an affiliate deal when you sign up at party or a skin which you really should do) and on the stars bonus you can check out the internet forum if you are in the mood to weed through a lot of non-poker related threads.

Ahh, that might be becaus you do not play at the same time as I do. Im from Sweden and when I play is it only early morning in US. At paradise is it usually very few tabels playing then. If you find a tabel with a average above $8 then you are damm lucky!!! Usually do a take tabels around $6 and sometimes around $5. If it is belove $5 then I watch a movie instead. At Party can I find tabels with a average above $9!!!! /images/graemlins/cool.gif
But at the late night (evning in US) is there more players playing at paradise too and then is it OK to play there.

Another problem at Paradise is that they have limits belowe .5/1. That mean that the reale beginers play at those limits, instead of giving me there money! /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

If you are playing in Europe, you could try the Intercasino and their skins. They also give a bonus for playing (which is nice) and a lot of the players are from Europe, so you will do a little bit better if you are playing in the afternoon in Sweden.

Of course the software isn't very good, but then again neither are the other players... /images/graemlins/smile.gif
