What are the 50nl 100nl games like on stars?

Hank Scorpio

Got a phonecall from partypoker yesterday asking me why im not playing there lately. Told them i`ll be back soon as im taking a break.

Thing is iv been playing on full tilt and found the games extremly nitty, well at least compared to party. Im just looking for a change. Im fed up of partys software and bugs and really poor bonus deals(0 RB)

So are the game on stars @ 50nl/100nl generally very nitty or is there good value too? Iv tried Ipoker and found that even more nittier than full tilt.

Any other sites worth mentioning? ( for value )

Cheers

Why didnt you tell them the real reason your not playing there? If people dont tell them whats wrogn with partypoker then they wont knowhat to fix. Microgaming seems very loose. Stars FR is very nitty I know, not sure about 6max though. Although the rakeback on stars is worse then FT and I doubt the games are much better though.

Yep good point. Thing is i probably will be back soon as the games i find the softest of the lot, they recently improved there setup so im gona give it a another shot soon.
After reason is my laser got lost and needed to be released and for some reason party didnt accept my mastercard.

Thanks for all the help

Try Cake poker.33% Rakeback with really good daily and weekly bonus offers.The play is super loose too.

Games are pretty damn nitty most of the time. I must give Cake a try, just hate the way there's no HUD.

Will give it a lash tonight, cheers.

iPoker... nitty???

I'm just about to put a fresh bankroll into ipoker for the .50/1 and 1/2 games. I haven't played there in a good while, but I thought ipoker was supposed to be very fishy???

Having no HUD is a blessing!

I'd recommend Cake for what it's worth. Some of the play is atrocious up to 2/4 and full of loose-passive players who like mashing the call button. Some of the full ring tables are pretty nitty as that's where all Gold Card collectors hang out and their version of a hit and run is leaving the table once a Gold Card has been awarded to a player. There aren't all that many short stackers though except for weekend nights when you have people taking shots.

Their tournaments are also slightly better structured than iPoker. Very slightly.

I have found the games ssnl on stars way more passive compared to ipoker.

How many tables do you play? I'd love to give Cake a go, but I'm a complete HUDbot when playing 6 max. I dunno could I function without one.

50nl and 100nl on stars is definitely soft. Huge player pool with lots of bad players. If you game select a bit you will find plenty of bad loose players with high VPIP's. I play 6max on stars and used to play on microgaming before this. There are a few differences in the standard of play but I think stars is softer over all. There is more 3Betting on stars SSNL but a lot of the regs are very bad post flop so playing 3Bet pots IP can be very profitable.
The only problem with stars is that you have to work your way up the VIP program before you can get decent rake back. If you don't already have an account on FTP, I would play there as the low limit games are also good and you can get 27% rake back. If you get tilted by poor software, then I'd look no further than stars or full tilt.
