Party vs Stars

[ QUOTE ]
So if the players are better at Stars, wouldn't playing at Stars make you a better overall player?

We should all think long-term right? Long-term, the better you are, the more you'll make. Right?

nice try, but no.

You're not offering a very convincing rebuttal, Voltron.

Playing against better opposition will not prep you to blow up Party 22s or 33s; it might however give you a stronger foundation/more experience to allow for moving beyond that at some point, and it almost certainly will be more useful if you plan to ever play any kind of big bet poker other than SNGs. I don't think there's a real clear-cut answer to this.

And, as I like to say when people start whining about it, although a good player will benefit from playing the fishiest fish available, a mediocre player who plays in a style that does reasonably well at exploiting tighter fish but loses to the fishiest fish could conceivably be better off playing those tighter fish if he/she doesn't know how to adjust to the loose ones.

partypoker is better because
-more game per hour.
-worst payers.

Beacuse you know from comparison experience? Or just parroting?

Edit: I sound like an a-hole here. And i guess i am, but didnt mean it that way. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

i dont need a rebuttal, playing better players alone will not make your hourly rate go better. sure, maybe playing better players and then going to juicer games, but not just staying there against bad players. I don't even necessarily think playing better players is going to make you a better player in every scenario.

[valenzuela]

just parroting, but its preety clear that in PP u have a better hourly rate.

God, I hate Stars. Long boring games and moronic players who never shut up.

The turbos are pretty short...well 5 minute rounds. You get a lot of chips though and it's not 400/800 for 10 levels. Most games are over before 400/800 so yeah less than 50 minutes for a win. How long does a regular PP SNG last?

[vindikation]

Holy crap I just played 2 SnG's at Stars after not playing there for a few months...man it took FOREVER to end compared to other sites (1st and 5th finishes).

I'm jumping to the $25 turbos, the non turbos are brutally long IMO.

[TruFloridaGator]

That's not proven, not a lot of people multi the turbos at UB or PS yet.
