One of the biggest operators in the prima network, expekt.com is leaving...

What will happen to the rest.. i guess its open for discussion. Only thing that is for sure is that the competition cant be to sorry, as on of the biggest operators is cut in half...

guess Expekt will lose player base since most of their players will probally want to continue to play at the prima games cause they are so loose.

well, i think u are wrong and the opposite is more likely... as much of the looseness comes from the expekt players...

no most of the all the games that are loose and wild with players raising with 72 come from all swedish players [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

This could really be the down fall of Prima. A well respected poster (working in the gaming industry) wrote on a swedish poker forum that 60% of the Prima players play from Expekt.

Expekt has a lot of the players on prima. And I expect many of their customers (mainly scandinavians) to follow. Scandinavians don't seem to care about client, since most of them play on crappy ones like Prima, B2B etc. They do follow the big names instead (Expekt, Unibet, Ladbrokes).

What is so crappy about the prima client?

I first started out on Prima software (Ladbrokes), and when I knew of nothing else, I didn't mind the software, despite having some quirks. Then they made a disastrous upgrade, and I went looking for alternatives, and found Party. Prima has gotten better since then, but I still think they cater more to casual players (like myself when I began playing). Playing one table at Prima might be ok, but when grinding it out for four tables, Party software, for naming one, is superior to Prima in oh so many ways.

Each his own, though.

Party software are probably the worst I have tried.
Prima is so much better.
