Wasnt me.

But I disagree. Party games arent that sweet. Plenty of good regulars and if you have acces to Party there is other good non-US sites that offer rb.

Compared to AP, FT and what little I know of Stars its like stealing from a baby tho.

oink, I guess my 450BB is paying for some other LAGTAG's plasma TV then

those party games sure are aggressive. losing all that money taught me some hard lessons (like 'stop being a predictable nit')

They cracked down on affiliates offering that earlier this year.

We cant discuss it BTW and Stellarwind will prolly kill you for asking [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

However, not paying the crazy 63% marginal income tax here in Denmark is pretty much the sweetest rakeback deal you can imagine [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Deuces club is something like 0.45BB/100 at 5/10 and about half that at 10/20.

I didnt start playing at party untill May this year and only exclusively since the Danish IRS finally accepted that party is tax free in mid July.

Wow, didn't know this actually. Is it still only Party and Ladbrokes, that have been accepted?

I play Party now mostly because Stars puts me on tilt. I've been trying to determine the difference between the two sites and why the players on Stars seem to tilt me more. It's probably all just my perception since I played at Stars for so long. I find Stars players are much more LAG post-flop, whereas the Party players are more reasonable post-flop. Party seems to be a lot of German players with PokerTracker. They tell me my stats at the table and why they decided to 3-bet me with A9o in the SB when I raised from early position. It doesn't bother me though, but it's probably just the change. Stars short handed just seems like 90% LAGs, TAGS and LAGTAGs. I'm sure it's still profitable, but I needed a break from it.

I remember someone mentioning 'HUD induced 3bets' in a thread somewhere. just because I have a 40+ atsb doesn't make it such a good idea to 3bet my UTG raise with A9o. a HUD doesn't show what a nit I am in EP

LOL german-cloneaments.

I love them and their 21/17 preflop style.

They follow some chart they get at their clone prodcucing site Pokerstrategy.org or something.

I also believe they get a boner from free showdown raising.

They are definetely easier to handle than all the 30/20 LAG/TAGs at AP, FT etc.

I think that was me being called out for my "95% button steals". Of course, I flop two pair every time, so fold anything up to and including AA to my button raise.

It could show it if they wanted it to. There are plenty of players on Stars who do the same thing though and they also like to tell me my stats. Yes, I'm 32/19/2 and a 40 WTSD over your small sample so you better 3-bet that A8o on the button. Also, on Party there are a lot of players who will raise every button and SB when folded to. I mean every time. It seems like they have read a few books or articles and are just fumbling around. Having more sites is good for my game selection as well though. I was thinking of trying PokerRoom or Hollywood poker. Does anybody have any experience there?
