Partypoker vs. Pokerstars

[LokiV]

I just switched from PokerStars to PartyPoker.

All I have to say is that the games at Partypoker are the softest I have ever seen anywhere. I will get 3-4 callers for 10x the BB preflop. I'll see 4/9 or 5/7 suited calling from UTG, then calling a $4 raise.

It goes on and on. Wow. Just wow.

Unfortunately... to finish off the other stereotype I'd heard of it, I lost 4 out of my 5 KK/AA hands to those 4/9's and 6/7 offsuits. Variance and all that is cool, but as far as losing heads up to those, heh it's wonderful who am I kidding. It's a big ocean I guess.

I hope when I've recovered from the beating I took today I can rake in some decent money. But why are the blinds so high compared to my chip stack? That is lame. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

blinds are so high, because party poker want to keep the fish playing/gambling, so that the sharks can win money, but more importantly, the rake can be made w/o having the fish go broke too fast...
