I can't play pokerstars and full tilt in the place i live anymore..so i have to choose another site.

888poker and partypoker came into my mind. Which one would you prefer and why? any other better suggestions?

cheers

888Poker has been having trouble lately with their servers. Players are disconnecting all the time and it's really annoying. So annoying I've deposited on Stars and am now playing there. This has been going on for about 3 days I think. However when 888 sort things out I'm going to go back because in my experience the games are softer there. That makes up for the crap software.

As for pp I haven't tried it yet.

The bugs, the lack of support and the bot rings that run the games are def not worth it.
Also as stated the site is unplayable for 4 days and player pool will drop a lot.

Go with Party for a few weeks see how you feel there.

the only drawback seems on party is i couldn't make notes on party poker hand replayer..it has to be made on the table itself, and if i busted the player i couldn't make notes on him. this is a bit inconvenient.

why do u choose cash on 888 instead of party? i choose 888 for cash too because i feel that there are more recreational players there (i am talking about microstakes)

They're pretty similar - both have really high rake, terrible VIP programs, decent traffic when Europe is awake but low traffic when Europe is asleep. What more do you want to know?
