really only played at 2 stars and party but i prefer stars so much better.
Firstly, their blind structure (not counting turbo) for the tourneys are so much better. You start out with more chips and blinds do not increase as rapidly. Therefore the more skilled players are better suited in the long run.
Secondly, the quality of players is a bit better. I'd much rather play against good players than crappy ones. Crappy ones are too wild and unpredictable in my opinion. You know what they say, "you can't bluff an idiot." That's how i feel at party poker.

party and stars only worth playing in my opinion....$20-$150 multi table tourneys are much better on partypoker because of the value you get for your money....if you play tight the $20 tourneys are free money.....pokerstars interface is much better but most of the top players are tough as nails...definitely party recommended if you like volume.
Party and nobody else. I won't say Party is perfect or that others couldn't do it better, just the volume of games in all genres is unbeatable. I tend to prefer split games and you just try to find a selection of those games elsewhere. Everyone plays HE these days so if that is all you play a bunch of them work out ok, but astute players still can win more money with less risk playing Omaha HL and Stud HL. I play HE only when I am bored or having to finish up a Party free money commitment. After that I head back to my regular games.
You have got to try the "ROUNDERS" Sit and go tournaments at TRIDENT POKER. These little tourneys start at $5+1 to enter and you win entries into the next level all the way up to the 5th round where the prizes are 4th $500, 3rd $800, 2nd $1200 and 1st $3000.
The first 2 rounds are either a 1st or 2nd place finish to go onto the next round or you can buy your way into ANY round.
Round #1 $5+1
Round #2 $25+2.50
Round #3 $112+12.50
Round #4 $275+27.50
Round #5 $550+55............this is the round the prizes get handed out
If you win a Round #3 you do not have to go onto the round #4 , you can use your tokens AND cash to vault yourslef right to round #5 if you wish.

Have to disagree here..........as Green Doberman mentioned, there are goldmines in them there hills son.
Many terriffic pokerrooms on the internet.
Understand, Partypoker is not doubt considered to be the #1 room by many, but saying that there is nobody else comparable is leaving yourself short.
1) Party and skins (Empire...etc...)
Sheer volume of players makes game selection much easier. Some very fishy play. Good SNG tourney's, although blinds go up quick, they are a moneymaker.
2) Stars
Ring games are ok, but you will play a lot of the same players. #1 tourney site for multi table events. Good customer service.
3) Ultimate Bet
Ring games can be great or terrible, depends on the day. Mini-view for multitabling is good. A lot of bonuses, but sometimes slow to clear.
4) Pacific
Site just sucked. The only reason they are #4 is because I've only played 4. At the time you could only play one table. Slow cashouts as well.

Absolute and Pacific are the most bug-ridden POS poker sites out there. Just tried to re-install Pacific (twice) and it froze up and screwed up my computer, and now I can't even uninstall it. :CUSSING: And Absolute used to have bugs in trying to open the program and apparently they haven't fixed it.

Fish I have tried many, well mostly up until about a year ago when I stopped trying. I said clearly why. If I was an holdem player only then sure the goldmines would be good. But I revert to playing the split games every time and all the others have little volume in those games. Paradise used to get lots of play, but then the split games dried up somewhat with the same 20 players always making up 80% of the table. It was like the mid-limit Omaha game I played for a long time in Vegas. I didn't see the point in playing players I know could play well and hope the 3 or 4 guys I didn't know were weak enough to support the rest and the rake.
