The latest on Party NOT giving rakeback
 

Here's the link. (I hate life)
I'm not quite panicking yet as various reputable sources have given contary statments over the past few day but this certainly can't be good news. Hopefully some of the affiliates will have news contrary to this soon.
P.S If anyone else knows something other then this please let me know so I can stop stressing.

I wouldn't play on party even if they gave me a no rake deal. I dont see the big deal. I play on stars to develop my game in a deeper stacked environment. Party is all preflop trapping. That wont work at the WSOP in July.

I could make more $ selling drugs to kids. I'm not playing poker to fleece the tourists. I want to be competitive as well as make $. I want to do something about which I can be proud.

Party is all about preflop trapping??? Yes, of course you can sum up the entire strategy of how to play on PartyPoker in one short sentence.

On PartyPoker you start most tournaments with 66xBB, whereas on Pokerstars you start with 75x the BB. Obviously this huge discrepency completely changes the way you approach each tournament and swings it from a "preflop trapping game" to intricite postflop battles, not to mention that Pokerstars blinds move up at a faster rate.

As someone who has never played on Party and has seen no reason to I find this quote interesting.

How many other mostly Party players feel this way?

1. Did you compare taking a more profitable line of gambling to selling drugs to kids?
2. If you really would not play on party if they offered no rake then...well I'm just in awe of how ridiculous this comment is.
3. If you want to do something skillfull and competative play NL cash games or a game besides Holdem.
4. If you want to do something you can be proud of be a doctor.
