Right here goes... The fish play at party. The better players play at party skins (so that they can get rakeback deals). Before Saturday, if you played on a party skin (eg Eurobet, Empire) you were playing players from party poker (as well as the skins). Now party have seperated themselves from the skins. This means all though so called better players have a choice of either sticking to the skins and still receiving rakeback, or switching back to party to play the bigger pool of fish without rakeback. Everyone is upset because of this. Not Stanzee. He's so good he can beat anyone in front of him, and Stanzee losing rakeback means little, as Stanzee makes loads of money anyway.

Stanzee was at least right about the party/skin stuff.

Man alive. I go on vacation for two weeks and bam.

Okay. So what's Party's new deal with reward points? We'll be able to get cash? Cause I'm sitting on a mountain of points and don't feel like buying 200 pair of beach sandals.

Does anybody know how the whole breakup thing came about? Was it:

a) Partypoker calls all the skins and says "Hey, we're gonna put you on a separate server, don't worry it will be great, you guys have over 10,000 players collectively!" and the skins were dumb enough to buy that it was no big deal.

b) The skins knew they were getting the shaft but Party said f you anyway, you have no choice in the matter suckers, and now the owners of the skins hate partypoker as much as we do.

Maybe Party hated the skins because instead of advertising and getting new players to their network they lured high volume players away from party with easier affilliate/rakeback deals.

Oh, that much is definitely true. I'm just wondering if the skins didn't think it was such a bad idea (until they lost all their business), or they knew this was going to destroy them but partypoker f'ed 'em over anyway. In other words, do the skins hate partypoker now too, and can they be our allies in this little war?
