switching from pokerroom to party

[syka16]

Basically I switched because I figure I can get a better hourly 4-tabling 33s on party than I can at PR. I've multied over 1,000 33s at .32 ROI. I'm 2-tabling 22s and 33s trying to get used to strategy changes.

these observations are based on 150 SNGs so I'm trying to get feedback to verify their validity. Please comment or add to them. Tx

22s/33s

1. Pokerroom has fewer maniacs (1/12) -
a. pushing group 4 on level I is somewhat less frequent there

2. Playing during nonpeak hrs should be avoided at PR.
b. But a 22 at 10AM EST is a 22 at 9PM EST at party

3. Players at PR are much more passive at later levels.
a. lots of players at PR don't understand bubble plays or desperation pushes

*4. You're left in hopless short stack situations more often at party
a. Short stacked on Party's level 4 with 8 players left leaves me scratching my head!!!
b. Big stacks will call a push from a 6BB with weaker holdings

5. Early stages are played more like a $25 ring game at PR.

6. Small pocket pairs are higher EV at pokerroom.
a. at party with T500 on level II/III in EP 22 becomes table dependent

7. Games are shorter (duh)

8. Promos are better at party.
a. The $ I'm getting on a rakeback from party is more than working off a smallish reload bonus at PR


From what I've read at 2+2, optimal play will get me a .30ROI at 33s at Party. With shorter games and a rakeback, that should almost double the hourly I was getting at PR. I'm getting the feeling that I should have switched 1,000 SNGs ago. Then again, I would have missed out on the prepubesent joy of staring at Avitar TopRight's tigol'bitties (prebreast reduction).
