I don't play NL ring, but I would imagine the 50 blinds structure on Party kinda sucks too.

The inferior blind structure is more than compensated by the softness of the games. It's so bad in fact that even high limit PokerStars players like ElkY and Nazgul can also be found playing on PartyPoker.

How is having good players a bad thing, it makes it more helpful if your learning and you cant predict bad players =[

You have posted over 1000 times on a forum and this is your response to the englightenment I offer you?

I partially agree with smuft.

The con of the interface for me is really important. PP gives me a headache.
Also i don't suffer anything from ps 'only' having 30K people online at peaks. Tables filled for me all the time and plenty of fish on them.

PP is easy money indeed because of the amounts of retards there. But that also increases the bad beats so swings can be very very big.

The table creating system on pp is retarded. On the 2/4 NL tables for instance there.. There are few u can join and waiting lists consist of 30 players. Only to keep the level low. On pokerstars every time all the tables are full a new one is created which is a lot better.

Bonusses are good on pp indeed and they have much better deals., like the one meat is offering.

Overall i like ps the best also because it's more about poker.. i just play pp on the side but usually i transfer money to ps and keep a basis on pp to play properly with.

Poker is all about making money. In a tough game most of your money is going to come from the one or two bad players that are there. There is no reason you should want to be at a table with 8 or 9 other players who are all better than you.

to improve, the question is: do you have enough money to keep learning

You should practice being able to designate a weak player from a strong one. Then stay away from the strong ones for the most part and attack the weak ones.

Ever thought of the possibility that if you're better you make more money?

When you sit down at a Poker table and play the game as it should be played, you have but one goal: take your opponents for everything they're worth.

You will find this a much easier task if you play on PartyPoker.

The idea that you can learn to play better on PokerStars is ridiculous. You will learn to play better against a different kind of opponent, the kind that is tight and doesn't give you their money easily. While on PartyPoker, you learn to play against loose and fishy opponents, the kind that you can tap for everything they're worth.

Which type of opponent would you rather learn to play against?

Was it rek that said real men play pokerstars? For the true newb stars is better cause u can start so low...noobs should not jump into a 25/50 game even against the idiots at partypoker. There is a lot of poker knowlege in this forum ... btw i strongly encourage anyone going to either pokerstars or partypoker to do it through this site.
