The games are certainly different. Changing markets = changing results.
My reasons for these changes, mostly obvious. Please forgive me if this has already been discussed.

1. Turnover of player names : Multi-table skin sharks coming back to Party with different screen names. Making data less reliable, decisions tougher. The flip side to this is the player who recently changed names, It would seem that their data dependent opponents will be playing against them in a different manner using less informaion, making decisions not necessarily harder, but different.


2. Lack of recreational players from the skins, It would seem that the players that find the way back to Party are exactly the same players you would least prefer to play against. There are certainly recreational players, casino and sportbook customers from Eurobet, and other desirable opponents who are much less likely to open Party accounts. This translates into a kind of sifting of the winners back to Party and leaving the biggest losers on the skins, or elsewhere. Not completely of course.


3. Bankroll/ money shift. I would guess that many players winners and losers alike upon cashing out of skins and into Party are taking some of that money off the table. This could result in some tightening of the games as winning players come back to Party without some of their bankroll, thus playing in a tighter lesser variance style. Losers may take the change as an opportunity to take stock of the losses and play a better game of poker, kind of a new years resolution effect.

4. New players multi tabling at Party. It would seem that with the opening of 10 table play at Party there would be some players that are just starting to play more than 4 tables. It would seem to follow that these 8 table virgins would be adjusting their play to the tight side while getting accustomed to the extra tables. Add to this the sharks that are going from 8 to 10 tables, increasing the TAG multi tabler effect.

anyway, something to think about.

would like to hear any comments
