Re: Stars bigger than Party, gotta Love it! :)

Party numbers do count play money. Just Stars has more of them.

Re: Stars VIP = Cash???

>Stars is supposedly illegal in many European countries.

It's not to do with illegality, but with gaming wins taxable in Sweden if the site is outside of EU.

Re: Stars VIP or UB w/bonus

>There are very few ring players at Stars though

That's compared to UB? Stars has way more ring players than any other site except Party.

Re: Stars VIP or UB w/bonus

For 3/6 just the lower rake is probably close to 20%. With VIP it should be way over 25%.

Re: Pstars FPP musings - Best Value?

I was loking for the best value combination in the program.

Re: Is more rake on party worth the worse players?

PT stats is the best way to compare both. Is there anybody with a lot of hands on both Stars and Party and is willing to post the stats?

Re: Money stolen through Partypoker

Empire doesn't have its own support. It's Party who does it for Empire. Empire is just 15-20 marketing folks.

Re: Stars Chip Set or Jacket?

Re: Some answers to the requests

I can see 7 6-max tables playing 5-10 on Stars now - 2:30 PT.

How is Party's rake lower for 5-handed? I think it's the other way around.

rake/pot:

Party: $1/$20, $1.50/$30, $2/40
Stars:...

Re: Some answers to the requests

If you add 8% for FPPs to the lower rake then the deal on Stars is about the same or better than your RB on Party.

Add to that that you are getting this up-front and not dependent on some...
