Default Which site do you play most? Not which site you like best

I'd like to find out which sites the creatures in the zoo play the most. Note that this is not which site you like to the most. Most of us play certain places because of the abundance of fish, frequent bonuses, etc. I have a feeling that the answer will be overwhelmingly for party and skins(despite all the bitching and moaning about them) , but I just want to confirm.

Yeah you are right.

Out of the sites that gets enough traffic, I forgot crypto and skins, pokerroom, and planet poker. I guess they will get captured as 'other'

For those who voted anything other than party, why?

I think it is generally accepted that party and skins have the most abundant supply of fish. So why play anywhere else? Can the slightly lower rakes or better software be that much of a factor? fish = +EV no?

They charge higher rake than anywhere else that I play.
I am not willing to encourage it.

I also have a higher hourly rate at both Stars and UB than I do at Party.

Party stick little icons on my toolbar against my wishes, and in more recent times have dumped HH's on my computer.

However, mainly it's the rake.
Until they stop charging so much money, I'm not willing to play there as much as anywhere else.

Of course, these were my thoughts until 36 hours ago, now I'm not willing to play there because of the stunt Empire pulled, but that's another discussion.

I haven't compared rakes, but would you say, all other things being equal, who would make more money:

Player 1) Plays Party/Empire with a 20% rake kickback

or

Player 2) Plays Pokerstars with no kickback

I guess what I'm asking is, is Star's rake 20% less than Party's?

It is refreshing to hear someone doing better outside of Party. I thought I was the only wierdo where Party statistically isn't as profitable as my other fishing ponds.

Lori any ideas on why you think this is?

I can tell you that over the last 2 years I've made more per hour on Stars than Party. It isn't even close.
