Where do people play when Party is down?

[Petomane]

If Party fails to fix the problems, I don't see how it can continue to be the biggest. It was down on Sat, down today - now it's up, but 125 players on waiting lists. So I looked up Poker Pulse to see where the players are going, but there's no great influx anywhere else. How can this be? I visited Paradise & it's the same tight situation. Where do players go?

Well if not Paradise then Ultimate Bet. But I think UB is a little tighter than Paradise.

I only play tournaments at Party as their rake is higher than most places.

I like Pokerstars, as they got knowledgeable support, fast cashouts, good software.

But depending on your limit, these are the cheapest places to play rakewise:

IF Party is down I go to the following rooms:

1.Golden Palace-poor ring game selection but games can be very very good at times,has alot of value promos and decent small MTT tournies w/rebuys,speed tournies,alot of variety-big negative is it dies very early EST evenings..most of clientele is UK based-less so in last 3 months but some really bad PL/NL playing going on here [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]software is pretty good not great.

2.Paradise-great selection MTT's,HU NLHE sng's and now 3,4-table sng's plus ring games are inproved,very good software

3.PokerStars-decent sng's and decent short limit games w/good rake schedule also NLHE games are getting better.Best software anywhere!

4.WSEX-Ocassioanlly has very good small NLHE w/ huge pot averages..always worth a peek-usually only worth it on weekend nights..but can surprise at any time.Fast but mediocre software.

5.Royal Vegas(Prima network)-If I didnt hate the software so much I would play there more.Usually good pot averages in small/medium bigbet games and can have good LHE and PLO games.Many push it as having games comparable to Party in fishiness..no friggin way..Party is da fishiest except for maybe Pacific Poker and Total Poker or ICP-all have really crappy software thu and less selection than Party.Party rules!!Prima software really sux badly especially running 1600x1200 resolution..the bet slider in NLHE is a pain in the butt-very inaccurate-easy to make costly mistakes here.

6.Ultimate Bet-rarely play here.Sometimes NLHE and short LHE games can be good but they dont seem to sustain action like other fishing holes..Worst action of all sites in general imo.Good fast software but..never liked the site..many love it not me..

[goodguy_1]

Yo Havana..great work as I've said to you before!!

Any chance you can do this for NLHE games????!!

[TheNutz]

I can't bring myself to deposit at Inter Casino due to their software (yet I played prima?) - I'm wondering is it really worth depositing the money.. And what percentage of play time do you guys typically spend their weekly out of total play time?

I am finding myself MORE and MORE at paradise.. only thing is they need to have these 3/4 table trnys non stop and start up when limit is reached.. Why a set time and why such swings in stakes? You see 50 then 100 then 10 then 15 then 5 buyins lol ...

[offTopic]

Lately, UltimateBet, which I've taken to calling "...ultimate, but..." as I'm on a nauseating roller coaster ride while playing down my bonus money (and there was a lot of it, thank <insert deity here>.)
