Re: Interface Pokeroom v. Partypoker/Empire (pre-split)
Honestly, I really dislike the software at PR, and I prefer the software at PP. But the rake is lower on PR. Two things I really dislike about PR: the timer is really fast and the software/server is really slow because I have timed out multiple times before even seeing my cards, and second, they allow people to buy in for 10BBs in NL, which is RIDICULOUS. The other thing I do like about PR is that they don't allow you to re-buy into a table for less than what you left with (ala Stars); I REALLY wish PP would do this.

Re: Interface Pokeroom v. Partypoker/Empire (pre-split)
I hate PR. The software is ultra slow and the dark background I can't stand.
I do think the rake is actually higher at PR then PP also.

Re: Interface Pokeroom v. Partypoker/Empire (pre-split)
Overall I like PR's interface. I like the built-in keyboard shortcuts. I think the graphics are clean and unobstrusive, especially in no-avatar mode. (I turn off the avatars on all sites I play.) I like being able to dedicate the small window in the bottom right to chat, and then having a separate, scrolling hand history off to the right. I like how I can check my hole cards in the real-time hand history after I've folded them (instead of having to wait until the hand is over, a la Stars).
I don't like having to sit out to reload. This seems like such an obvious, easy feature for PokerRoom to fix.

Re: Interface Pokeroom v. Partypoker/Empire (pre-split)
I just started playing Bet on Bet last night. I like rakeback, better customer service, better bonuses. Less players, no obvserved hand history...I'm really dependent upon this for table selection. It's not bad.

Re: Interface Pokeroom v. Partypoker/Empire (pre-split)
I am still adjusting to their interface with BetonBet. It is nice, however the table selection is not great, but if you enjoy short-handed play this more than compensates for it. The faster timer tends to lead to faster game play.
Specifically in a course of roughly two hours while I was two tabling $3/6 I was 3-bet only once! Passssssive. I am very impressed with the online customer support as well, its great. As I enjoy/prefer short-handed games I may keep my play here for a while, as its a great game. Ideally, Pokeroom could seperate tabs for 3/6, 5/10, 10/20 to keep me off of SH $10/20, that's no good for my bankroll.

And about the rake thing, I know everyone has been saying the rake is worse at PR, but for me it is less. Maybe it's because of the limits I play (MHNL).
