Why almost nobody plays at Paradise here

Hello !

I play almost exclusively at Paradise and I wonder why so few 2+2'ers play there. Nolimit games seems pretty soft and limit have tons of action too (at least 10/20 and higher). What is more the sofware is the best in the market and other sites are not even close (that's no.1 reason I play there I would consider Party if they fixes the slider for nolimit).
Summing up I can see few good reasons to play there and only one not to (3tables limit).
Could sb tell me what is wrong with Paradise ?

Best wishes

I play at paradise, but not as often as I used to. The software seems to run slower than most other sites. The big reason a lot of people here don't play there is that you can only play three tables at a time.

I play Paradise the most regularly out of all the sites. I couldn't get on with the software at Party at all. Pokerroom's software is OK as well.

I think people just play Party because it attracts more fish. They advertise a lot and so get more beginners. You can also get a lot of software for it to help you out... but that's a whole other thread today.

I tried out Paradise for a little while but I'm not a big fan of the site. I actually prefer Party's software. I only play limit so I have no need for sliders. And it might just be the time of day I like to play but I can find better tables on Party. Paradise was a rock garden when I wanted to play at night. I know it's a small sample I have but I like to stick with what works.

I tried adding paradise tables to my multitablings and found that their software did not do a good enough job alerting me when I had a hand, so I repeatedly timed out, then cashed out.

It's so much easier to multitable at Party. Plus the games are just too juicy to leave.

Years ago they had the best software. Now it's slow when multitabling and there is no disconnect protect. Lost 23BB pot once with the nut-straight when got disconnected for the last bet on the river. Reason enough for me to stay away.

It's one of the slowest sites. Old software. Good support.

party has more players, and a higher percentage of fishy ones. also their signup and reload bonuses on the main site and skins are usually better and more frequent. you can play 4 tables at a time (and multiple skins simultaneously) and there is r******* available if you set that up as well. they have a moderately useful player points system, and though I'm sure any site's software can always be improved, I haven't really found anything to dislike about party network personally.

that being said, on the occasion where Paradise is running a bonus, I'm sure most people (including myself) go back and play it off. but they are too no-frills overall to make it the "home" site for a majority of zoo members.
