Cost Benefit Analysis Party vs Absolute vs Others

[TheScientist]

Here are some assumptions (keep in mind I am a micro-small stakes limit player);

Party has the easiest players per limit, but few bonuses (at least at the limits I play 1/2 - 2/4)

Absolute has the toughest players, but the best incentives (bonuses, + unmentionable).

Full Tilt has mid range player , mid range bonus.

Site X, etc...

Now, with any significant number of hands, has anyone ever done an in depth comparison to figure out which site really is the best to play at. Is swimming with the fishes better than toughing it out with bonus whores at Absolute when broken down into bb/100. Does anyone have a big enough sample size to answer this reasonably?

Even if some of you can only compare two sites, say you have 50k hands with one and 50k with another, how does your winrate compare? (standard disclaimer about winrates of course, but I think many of us have enough hands played where this number is starting to converge with its true value)

At 1/2 and 2/4 I think you should always be clearing a bonus. No amount of fishiness will really make up for any bonus 10x or better, at least I don't think so... Just run through every deposit bonus at every site, hit the reloads, and try to move up to 3/6 - 5/10 levels as quickly as possible.

Playing on many different sites will give you experience against many player types as well and allow you to excel at higher limits which makes rakeback, bonuses, or other incentives not as important.

Uhhhhh where have you been the past two months...

[TheScientist]

Kinda disappeared from the Party scene after the split. I'll do a search.

But what will you do with the other 23 hours 59 minutes and 58 seconds in your day?

At $1/2, a 10x bonus is going to be well over 2BB/100.
I don't think the players on Party are going to be more than 2BB/100 worse than elsewhere.

If you move up limits, game selection becomes much more important.

I'm working on doing this for $3/6, should have it in a day or so. At your level, you can definitely skip around, picking up whatever is attractive, but Party VIP status is not that great. There are more attractive offers, particularly at $2/4.

[WeezerMoo]

Party has the fastest to complete bonuses around.

If you can handle the tight games, I think that absolute with basically unlimited bonii, plus unmentionable is tough to beat at the low levels. I do jump around to hit up some easier bonuses, and make a little extra loot from the poker, but at 1/2 unmentionable and bonii make up about 2BB/100. Party's players are no where near that bad!

[MrMon]

Party reload bonus, yes, Party VIP, no.
