PP vs UB and PS

[Marlow]

I know that the vast majority of NL 2+2ers play on Party Skins. I generally play at UB and Poker Stars and do well there. Are PP players worse? How much worse? Does anyone have stats that show that PP players are uberdonks?

I just want to know if I'm giving up a lot of money by avoiding a site that I generally dislike (to be discussed in a different thread...).

Thanks in advance,

Marlow

It is easier to win big pots at Party especially at 6max tables. Too many fishes out there. You maybe one of them.

well, thats a rather insulting ending to your post.

i've been trying to clear the FTP bonus lately, and that sh.it is crazy weak. my new home. unfortunately only 2-6 games going usually. so game selection lately has been whatever opens up first...

Good post, Marlow, I've been wondering the same thing. I just joined the Party after playing about 15,000 hands or so at Stars. I haven't noticed anything definite but:
It's a little harder to buy pots
I find I'm making a little more money when I make a hand.
It seems there are more limpers.

I play NL50 full ring. I've only played 800 hands at Party so far, so I could just be running into fish, but it seems a little more loose and passive. However, I too really dislike the software. Really obnoxious noises and tables. Didn't realize how good I have it over at Stars. I'm not sure yet if the players are bad enough at Party to make it worth the hassle.

This is very helpful, thanks.

If I'm not missing a lot by playing where I am, I'll most likely stay put.

I would like to try FTP, tho...

Thanks again,

Marlow

Finally got PokerTracker and I open up GT to see that 3 of the 4 tables I'm sitting at are 18% VPIP and the other is 26%. WTF?! I though Party was land of the fish! Back at Stars, I could always find a table around 40%. Did I just have bad game selection or is Party always this tight at NL50?

I think Party Players are clearly worse then Pokerstars players. Especially at the $25 and $50 tables. More bad lags and maniacs.

I think that Pokerstars has the better software and is much better for tournaments. But I think your money making potential is better at party.

"Really obnoxious noises " ... You can turn all that stuff off. I turn off all the animations, sounds and the characters in the chairs... I think they're just distracting.

The other great thing about Party is that pokertracker and Gametime are formatted for Party.

My advice... you want to win more in cash games, play party. If you're a tourney player, stick to Stars.

I don't know if posting a link like this is legal on this forum, but if you dislike the layout of the table go ahead and download a mod from www.pokermods.com (@moderators: remove the link if it is not appropriate)

That way you can make the table much more simple by taking away chairs and stuff like that.
