Stars games suck now
 

I've been playing the 5/10 at Stars for a few months now. Since the VIP program the games are definitely way worse now (ie. there are more better players)
I think it's time to move back to Party.

yea I saw this coming..not good. PS short low/mid NLHE and LHE games have been a goldmine for the last year-little appreciated by most and now with all the grinders moving in to accumulate VPP's for freerolls etc games will degrade no doubt.

Funny how I have both noticed the opposite at my 1/2 and 2/4 games, and heard the opposite from people I know at the 30 game and up.

Hmm, returning college kids gambling with their Xmas $?

apparently, lots of players are migrating over to stars for their vip program. Lack of rakeback at party, and a good vip program at stars is enough to lure the high volume players over. And this is only the second day. I guess players are finally showing party what they think of their party store. LOL

What have the 1/2 and 2/4 raked hand percentages looked like in the past? So far, they look VERY dismal (25% & 45%) compared to what I anticipated

That's the irony of it, when a site comes up with a good VIP program/rakeback/something good for large volume pro's, it tends to attract them, and that reduces how good the site is.

Table: Jupiter, 2/4
Avg Pot: $18
Plrs/Flop: 17%

Table: Phemios IV, 2/4
Avg Pot: $18
Plrs/Flop: 21%

Table: Patria, 3/6
Avg Pot: $18
Plrs/Flop: 16%


I'm sure these tables are beatable if you're sharp enough, Weak-tight rocks for the most part I would guess.
And obviously these are the worst of the bunch.
But many of the other ones are not significantly better and, while beatable, they certainly aren't wildly profitable.


Remains to be seen whether I will rack up points there or not.
Sitting at full-ring tables with 3-4BB avg-pot and 20% or less players/flop is NOT my idea of good table selection.
