Is Party Poker really THAT FISHY?

[LeVoodoo]

Party allows you to see all hand histories, including opponents hands, correct?
I thought I had read that in another thread, if so, this makes switching to PP very tempting.

Only if there's a showdown. You don't just see everybody's cards, period.

How many players are online at Pokerroom nightly? I'll bet it isn't even 1/2 of what Party has. Have you ever tried Party before? If not, I would highly suggest giving it a shot. Grab your fish flakes and watch how easily they come up to you. At lower buy-ins, people are almost begging you to take their money.

I tried party, and I know it's fishy, but I left cause I had trouble adjusting to the 800 starting stacks, and the smaller buy in for Pot Limit games. I know they have switched the PL buy in, but I have still yet to return.

I also know that there are only about 10-12,000 players on line most nights, which pales to party, but still plenty of fish.

I will try and post some really "fishy" hands tonight when I get home, but I know one from the other night -

3rd hand, I push all in from the button with AA(I like that move before people get a read on me). I get called by a guy who with 77, and OVERCALLED by a guy who had J9s.

So there are plenty of fish at all places.

I actually find this tool to be very useful, and not just in those instances where I get to see what the villian lost with after calling a river value bet. It's great for quickly skimming over a hand history at one table after having all of your attention focused at a play on another.

Me like.

Do you need to be a part of the showdown to look them up, or is it any and all showdowns that occur at your table?

When requesting hand histories that were sent to your email, UB used to show the winning hand, whether it was in a showdown or not. Unfortunately they stopped doing this. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
