How good are the Party games now?

[Goldmund]

To those that still (are able to)play on Party Poker: How good are the games and what times of day do you consider the best to be on.

Traditionally evening times in the U.S. were the best hours to be playing both traffic and fish-wise, how is that now? I also used to think that most of the Fish were from the U.S. and that the Europeans were on average a slightly better playing crowd. Any input from those still on Party appreciated. Goldmund

There is nothing intrinsically about Europeans, Canadians, Australians, Asians, or South Americans that make them any better at poker on average than Americans. The reason it might have seemed that way before was because the US was heavily marketed to by the poker sites, drawing in players who didn't set out to learn the games they were playing, but rather players who were doing it because the ads made online poker look fun.

Now that Party is aggressively marketing the rest of the world, plenty of recreational players are joining the poker market from other countries. Recreational players are recreational players, no matter where they're from.

The Full Ring games are brutal...barely any table selection at all and they are all rock gardens...The SH games are still good. I can't speak for limit games...

Looking on pokersitescout.com it looks like the FR games are nearly nonexistent. Funny b/c Party use to have such a vast amount of 10max games going - guess they were all Americans.

I find the tables seem the fishiest after midnight (UK time). 6-12 in the evening there seems to be a lot of regulars around. I play full ring btw, dunno if 6max/ tournies are any different for this.

I've noticed at party people have fixed up their cbets at 25NL, they are no longer cbetting 1$ into a 4$ pot. I think they're a bit harder now, but still very easily beatable

Yah the loss of full ring tables on PP forced me to learn SH which in return gave me 3 months of break even poker. YAY. I guess euros don't like full ring.
