Default Why do people play at party rather than stars?

Without mention fish and rakeback (which for heavy players, stars has a similiar system for the latter), why do people play on party?

What got people to play on party to begin with? Wasn't it for the fact that they had incredible overlay on their tournaments and a whole bunch of bonuses? Well bonuses are basically drying up (roughly once a month, with sporadic bonuses here and there).

Party treats its players like garbage while stars support is top notch.

Why drink coke over pepsi? I like it better. Support is not needed for most.

Party has a better interface and the higher limit LHE games are much, much more plentiful. Getting a quick response to emails isn't the be all and end all of a poker site.

because party is a better site to make money at. It has a better interface, it deals hands faster, it has better table selection, it has better promotions, it has better cheater policy, it has better affiliate deals, it has better multi-tabling software. I'm sure there are more.

I have never been treated like "garbage" by party. Every site is going to have unhappy customers. Party has a bigger player base and my guess is that most 2p2ers have a party account. So it would be fitting that 2p2 would have more party complaints then stars complaints.

That is the biggest factor (imo) of if people like a site or not. Their Win/Loss factor. That is pretty much all I care about

If this is a big reason, then play at UB. They deal the hands way faster than party/stars.

Look at the number of players playing for real money. Party is going to be at least 4 times bigger. Party has more cash games and it's not even close.

I'm playing at Stars now because UB doesn't have enough 2/4 NL 6 max games, and Stars does. Stars doesn't have more than a couple 3/6 NL 6 max games so when I move up to that I'm going to have to go to Party. I will have zero choice because no other site is able to spread the games I want.
