Hello everybody,
Been playing at pokerstars for a long time in the microstakes cash games but recently I started thinking if there is maybe more value to be found in GGPoker.
Obviously I would have opened an account if I could but GGPoker is not supported in Greece where I'm living so it's going to be a bit of a bother to join GG which is way I'd love if you could let me know if there is more value there compared to Pokerstars.
Have a nice day and good luck at the tables everybody.

I was also wondering this for a while whilst playing on Stars and played 30k hands on GG over the past few weeks, but switched back to Stars yesterday. Both playing 25z and 25 R&C.
GG Pros:
Pools are bigger
A lot of weak players
Promotions such as BBJ, leaderboard etc
GG cons:
rake is absurdly high
Need to put in a lot of volume to get anything decent from the LB
Rakeback is very ambiguous - not clear at all
25z on Stars is actually not that much harder than GG, and the rake is like half of what you pay on GG + there is a decent clear rakeback structure

Thanks for the information my friend helps a ton.
Honestly I was just afraid I was missing a huge opportunity to make some extra money cause all my friends talk about GG but they are probably as uninformed as I am.
