888 or Party Poker and why ?

[razzor94]

I have withdrawn all my money from PS and now i am looking for the best place to play at.
First 2 sites that come to mind are 888 and PP but before i decide i would like to hear from some of you what was your experience with these sites.
If you have any other sites to check out please do tell.

 

[Andrew Popov]

It would be wise to specify what exactly you are looking for? A place to play cash games, for tournaments, for freerolls, or what?

 

[lulu pk]

I would say both.If you are an MTT player a little preference for party.

I prefer Party to 888,,,but i would play both if i were you,it`s nice to have more options,i understand your frustration with PS but if your trying to get away from badbeats,you will never get away,you just have to learn to deal with them,Good luck

888, better look and better tournaments, at least in my opinion.

 

[razzor94]

First of all i left PS because i dont like the rakeback system. Also the field is tough as you get higher.
I am both a cash game and a tournament player, but i prefer cash games.
I feel that now the majority of my income comes from cash games, even though i had some notable winnings in MTTs that have boosted my BR.
When it comes to what am i looking for i would say its in this order:
1. Rakeback
2. Player field
3. Software

It is also worth mentioning that i have already deposited and played at 888 and if i were to make my decision right now i would go for 888 because i know the software and have descent results there.
The fact that you get a deposit bonus on PP is tempting and from what i ve heard they reinstalled the basic RB system and it goes to 40%.
Realistically for me that would mean a RB to about 25-30% max given the stakes i play(20NL).

More info is always better when making a decision,,,that said,cash games and rakeback are not part of my poker knowledge But someone can definitely help you here,,,,,,, GL Buddy

Partypoker, there are more recreational players and the software is more attractive

 

[CRStals]

PartyPoker has a rakeback system but you'll only achieve it if you play high enough stakes. You do...so that's a tipping point.

I think the player field to is pretty similar and the software is good on both. IMO you're better on Party purely based on the Rakeback.

 

[Iryna Stryzheuskaya]

Both rooms are quite good.

 

[milka1605]

You did not specify the reason for leaving pokerstars. I know that PS is a good site. If you have a bad game on the PS, then on other sites it will not be better.

 

[Andrei Korolev]

Many rooms were playing,while better than the PokerStars no...

 

[AndreyS]

Party poker gives free tickets to interesting sattelits, in which good prize money and there are no such much peoples

 

[blufft0p]

the field is very weak + actiii not bad for me it is better 888 but podica the party is just wonderful the best in the world

 

[theRaven68]

888, cause it has better promotions and rewards program, more interesting tournaments and ...more other things

 

[escurimX]

any poker site is better than 888poker

 

[Two6JJ]

They are about even when it comes to software so see what one offers the best promo on a first deposit bonus and start there.

 

[dino]

simple, partypoker doesn't have so many bots playing on it, nor they allow to bots to play on their network like 888 Poker do.
Take a look at this forum and few other, like 2+2, and you will see that 888 poker client isn't great like it use to be.
I think they have own bots playing against us.

 

[MTCashman]

I would recommend both of them to you, they are both good sites and offer good promotions. Good luck.

 

[Pokerguy6666]

Party poker is better, they often give free tournaments tickets.

 

[fabiancampos]

888 is a big poker room.. my vote for them!

 

[CRStals]

888, cause it has better promotions and rewards program, more interesting tournaments and ...more other things

I'll respectfully disagree on the 888 rewards. The coin system just got revamped and is worse now. The tickets you get for these all in shootouts is basically a lotto ticket, and they don't have three lotteries at the best times.

That's just me

You did not specify the reason for leaving pokerstars. I know that PS is a good site. If you have a bad game on the PS, then on other sites it will not be better.

He said that he doesnt like the high rakebake on ps

 

[MsLektor]

I play tournaments and tournament time and the tournament structure is different, so I play on both PartyPoker and 888 and on PokerStars.

 

[canabero]

I would say both.If you are an MTT player a little preference for party.

i would say also both, but i never thought someone would prefer PartyPoker for mtt's, i don't like mtt's at Party Poker, low money and bad structures. 888 has better prizes and softer field.
