Is it easier to make profit on bwin or partypoker then on stars ? Is it true that there are nearly no regs on these sites ? I am talking about Micro NL FR ... how should I decide when to grind 9table 8h a day to make a decent profit ? like 5-8 bb/100

Well it all depends when the peak times are and what nationality the sites are.

Hahaha... Kingspew you are a legend!

OP: It is true that Stars (And PartyPoker - Imo it has poor software, god awful VIP system, average sighn up bonus and poor support) is a tough site to play on since it has a lot of regs. Thing is, as the player pool is so large, there are thousands upon thousands of fish/ Massive whales... Just table select correctly and you will find them.

Or play zoom and proffit from the significant amount of recreational fishy players.

I've found Pacific, Microgaming- though pretty lame MTT schedule- and OnGame to be a little easier than Stars. My opinion. If I had to choose I'd choose 1 or all of those 1st.
I haven't done as well at Party or iPoker, but maybe they're softer too. Stars is the toughest site player-wise I'd say.

Yes, the games have certainly got harder to beat. At least at Party. Even at Micros, a standard 3-pot size bet preflop usually means that everybody is going to fold.

its all about finding games where the players are worse than you by an amount that includes the rake.

888/Pacific has a crap VIP system but makes up for it with the amount of ******ed players that you come across it's comical
