Non USA Players - How are the games?

On the sites that have banned US participation, how have the games changed? Do you miss us, or say good riddance? Would you like to have us back?

I feel no real difference at party right now. Yeah there are like no SNG multi table running, and tournaments are dead. The average on the most tables are a bit low, but while playing CG I do not feel any difference in game. There are still plenty fish in the sea.

Most of the EU pros have left party to US sites and such to chase US players, so its pretty cool right now on party.

I miss any player, because a smaller playerbase dry out faster. So far the games are the same only not that many ( european time) but i miss most my sunday breakfast poker.

Probably better games now at Euro sites like B2B and Crypto as the ony US players who bothered to play on Euro sites at peak times tended to be the semi-pros playing in their afternoon.

So slightly less sharks, still the same donks.

I just checked up on Party and the traffic is way way way down.

Almost like a ghost town. Eerie.

How can they continue to call themselves "The World's Largest Poker Room?"

I play limit hold'em and game selection is terrible now so I sure miss the US players.

I play SH limit and it is still beatable, despite the variance and absentee US peeps.

On 10c/25c and 25c/50c no limit I've not noticed any difference in quality. The US does provide most of the world's fish but it also is home to most of the world's decent players at all levels as well.

My buddy list has been decimated and it is a lot quieter but still profitable. Of course we want you back but at the moment we can live without you and still grind out a profit.
