Party vs. PokerStars

[nyc999]

Currently playing the $5 and $10 SNGs on Party, I'm considering a switch over. I've read a lot about the differences in play, but am just wondering how many games are going at a time (i.e. is it easy to always find a game) and can you multi-table. Any help appreciated.

Not sure about game availability...

Also, the rake at the $5 SNGs is $0.50 rather than Party's $1. So 10% rake is better than 20% rake.

For the rest, try the search function

edit: for max tables, see posts below. Sorry for the error

yes there are always games going on. I also like the 6.50 turbos (10 min levels) and the 12+1 6man games(pays two places).

you can 5-table on Stars

Lets get the facts straight. On Stars, 5 tables is the max for cash games, and 20+ tables for SNGs and tournies (not sure what the actual max is)

$5+$.50 SNG while clearing a bonus. Pokerstars is paying you a dime a tourney to play!

If I could get rakeback at Stars, I think I would make the switch myself. I've been thinking about it a lot lately. I have always liked it there but they never had a "ton" of games going at any particular limit. That has changed now in 2005.

If I could get rakeback there, I would never play anywhere else. As it is, I play mostly at FullTilt because it's the most like Stars but with rakeback.

How much rake back you are getting at Fulltilt? Is it directly from them or from an affiliate?

I don't get this. I thought they have 100% return for tournaments, so you would make 50c per 5+.5 tournament? Thus, making it basically without a fee. Or am I seeing this wrong?
