What do people think of GG for cash games, I have been tempted to sign up but not done so yet. Not a fan of the childish graphics, high rake, preflop rake, some of the shenanigans of the ambassadors (e.g. Bryn Kenny and his stable), admin fees, over the top ID requirements etc.... but if the games are soft enough I may be persuaded!

I might've stated that there's 2-3x as many players playing on the tables in the games I'm playing in... but actually it's MUCH more than this.
@ 2nl there's 16x as many players right this minute
@5nl, 10nl & 25nl there is 9x, 9x & 6x as many on GG vs. Stars. And wayyyy more donks!

It is certainly tempting! I just cant quite get past the security issues at the moment
 
For me, PS is the best room of all. There are always a lot of games, good software and no problems with withdrawing money. When I play cash games, I prefer regular 9max tables and I like when the tracker works. My choice is PS.

Ok.
fwiw, there are tournaments on that site that have $10k buyin, 'weekly' with a couple hundred entrants.
One of the guys I know who plays on there, probably plays ~$3k in buyins, every day. (but he also profitted ~$50k in December alone, most from GG site coming off a +$240k year... & recently had an 11-day winning streak, playing ~40-50 mtt's per day).
Every player I know plays on there.
It certainly sucks about the recent issues but I feel confident on there (& doubt it'll affect what I play)

I sometimes get logged out in Poker Stars for no reason, don't know if anyone else gets this, but usually when I have a good hand and I sometimes can not log back in fast enough to play it never happened in GGpoker. mmmmmm suspicious!

Which is better? From personal experiences I say PS is better. Why? Cause I can withdraw money from them unlike GG. The credentials that are needed in GG are out to lunch and they won’t verify your account without utility bills. But what happens to those who rent and have their utilities included in their rent? And why isn’t a phone bill/internet bill not a utility bill??? PokerStars, all u need to ID!!! I play on GG on a fake account with my roommates as the owner of the account just cause they have the utility bill in their name. Haven’t verified it yet and only will try if I somehow turn a free roll into real money (10k+).

Since that new hacker "MoneyTaker69" I don't feel safe playing on GG anymore.
Just cash-out today and I will play exclusively on Pokerstars.
Althought the cashback of GG it's far superior than PS in my opinion.
 
Both platform are are but I use to play much more on GG where is anytime a day a good amount of players online
 
GGpoker is growing a lot but I still prefer pokerstars, I think it's because it was the first one I met.
 
i do not get it . why GG doesnt come to Greece . we have many poker players , our betting and gambling market is big enough in comparison to similar small coun tries . pokerstars has bought a licence here , then GG for sure can afford it . i guess they have decided the market shares
