Posted by StheP: IMO party is one of worse poker rooms, only 1 room that is actualy worse than party is stars...
When I was grindin' (more than) a couple years back I liked them both because the playerpool was mostly beatable on the level where I played, but a lot of things changed since then and both rooms makes it very hard for everybody to keep it steady IMO Kinda wish the old-Unibet on the Microgaming Network would come back, that was my favourite place by far.
Of course, each player has his favorite poker rooms in which, as it seems to him, he is more lucky and the players are weaker, and accordingly he wins more, but it seems to me that everything is roughly the same, of course, some leaders stand out, for example, PartyPoker is the undisputed leader now.

Everyone has its favorite site. And probably it is the one that they win the most money and had the best experience. Never heard someone saying that a poker site is good when they keep losing there. Usually you are hearing moaning for this and that reason that made them lose money
Of course, each person has his own preferences where he feels most comfortable at the poker table ...... therefore, due to the fact that all people are different here, of course it is very difficult to understand the optimal poker room .... therefore you need to feel to test in different poker rooms .... and finally make the final decision that 888poker is the best poker .... ha ha ha
I used to like stars untill I realized they take us players for granted and completly stopped playing there. For me it's been party-poker for like 3-4 years atleast because I keep winning there. I only deposit little amount for bonuses and promotions but I cash out pretty often. Probably cashed out about 3k this year playing low volume. I'm no pro by any means because I don't play the volume and don't depend on that income to live I would get bored but with all the promos and rakeback at party-poker it's hard to lose money tbh.

SwC Poker is my most favorite online poker room at the moment. I play micro stakes (up to 10/20 uBTC* blinds) cash games there. Its traffic is quite low throughout the day, but I love playing against familiar faces.
*1 uBTC = 0.000001 BTC

the most important minus of this poker room is that there are very few players playing there ... and therefore, for example, there are practically no players in sit and Go games .... basically the game is on or the cash game or tournament .... I a few days ago played in a tournament where there was a prize of 1000 points ... took third place got 200 points .... but lost everything in the game cache yesterday

Yeah, there are not many players at SwC. I think I have played only one sit and go and one or two multi-table tournaments at SwC since February 2019. Most players at micro stakes cash game tables are super-soft and easy to read. You should be able to make money in the long run.

hey dude , yes actually partypoker become the best in the poker business this year with the best reward system in online poker, there is no room that have this massive kind of promo plus an amazing reward system and the software become amazing and fast too and u can also try 888poker they have Vip levels eternil witch means u dont have to play everymonth to keep them and big number of freerolls too
For me Party is by far the best. They are giving more money away than actually collecting with rake right now. They are making a move trying to steal the market to stars.
At stars I don't feel like they value us players. They take us for granted. The points are worthless and even the supernovas aren't happy with the reward systems because it's just not worth it to play volume there.
But I haven't been checking new sites for a while now. I know there are hundreds of them out there I haven't even tried. But I doubt they will be able to offer as much added value as Bwin/party does.

That's like a problem only a couple hundred people are having out of the dozens of thousands who are playing there. Their rake was always high, the volume players knew it's not a desired destination to grind there if you only after the rakeback so dunno what's different now, it seems to me this thing was always an issue.

Pokerstars is the best poker room for me but it is very difficult to make a consistent profit there. I like that they have more players and do not get bored at the tables. I would also like to have a better cards and to win with them. I play for money not for fun but PS. i like it the most.

I had a period when I really liked PartyPoker .... it was at that moment when I almost won $ 500 more from playing sit and Go .... It seemed to me that better than PartyPoker there is no poker room .... but then a black line came and I lost everything in sit and Go to the Hungarian players .... it was very sad
