Default Small Site vs Party

I play at a Small site mainly 15-30 with an unreal amount of calling station. It is amazing what gets cold called for 3 bets. And a aggresive pre-flop stategy will get you killed against 4 calling station who will cap it just for grins. I am thinking of switching over to party and was wondering if I should just stick at the samller site. Has anyone played sites like this and party that can tell me the differences?

Why would you leave a good game for a server with crappy software and long waiting lists? If you like the game you presently play in, I can think of no good reason to switch.

you should try it. You have nothing to lose but a little of your time. The 15% rake back may be incentive enough for you to play at party, maybe not.

Kenshin, the site is really slow, and I can only play one table at a time. Most of the good players that I see disappear normally return in about 3 months.

Eugene I allready have an account that I play at Party and I really hate the software.

lol, I hope you are not planning to leave intercasino. I have attempted on multiple occasions; however, the site always lures me back. Alas, I fear I will never escape its fearsome grasp.

Intercasino actually has the highest limit games available on the internet (100-200 pound games). It offers heads up at every high limit game (30-60, 50-100 and 100-200 in pounds, Euro's and dollars); however, I can neither atest to the game quality above 20-40 nor the frequency in which people play in them. Additonally many people dislike the game speed (slow), absence of reduced rake, horrible waiting list structure and lack of hand history features (the last complaint does not apply to heads up). I actually enjoy the aesthics of the software and the relatively frequent bonuses the site offers.
