AP v's Party Poker

pureklas · #1 06-08-2007, 11:58 AM

I am getting increasingly frustrated with AP and have decided to look elsewhere to play. One of the US regs at AP has suggested several times that I play at Party as there are more fish and tables available. I am currently in the process of moving up to $200NL playing half my hands there and half at $100NL, I plan to play solely at $200 by the end of the month. Is Party $200NL softer than AP?

My main dilemma is that last month i got $700 in rakeback at AP ($2445 MGR) + all the bonuses (not sure how much it amounted to). If i move to Party there will be no rakeback and I am unsure how much they offer in bonuses per month? Can anyone tell me? Would it be just as profitable playing at Party without rakeback?

Other factors that have some influence in my decision:
I like AP's instant hand replay; and how when you are allin the cards are flipped over.
Alternatively I like that Party is not deepstacked as I have found some decent deepstack players at $200NL on AP.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice anyone can give me.

You can now exchange party points for cash. With the new point system, you can get up to 14% rakeback exchanging your points for money.Some relevant links:

On AP you can also redeem your reward points for cash. I don't know how much this equals to on rakeback though.

Just out of curiosty, why limit yourself to AP or Party?

Where else do you suggest? I will also have some money on ultimate bet mostly to play heads up.

Edited to say I have also been mulling over the cryptos buit have been told they are rock gardens these days. Also, dislike full tilt so not moving there.

Agree with you on Crypto, though rb+bonuses are a tempter.

What about Ongame? The software isn't the best but they have a nice selection of Euro fish and a few of the sites offer limitless freeload bonues.

If it's just fish you're after then I'd recommend Pacific.

Any rakeback or bonuses at pacific?
