i´m new playing at 888, one week, and i´m trying to look for a layout similar to the one in pokerstars, is very complex to see all the action in this way, but all the layout options i see are not even close to the ones we get in stars,

also the time to react is lower and the function are new so it´s quite difficult to play there for me, i will try a bunch of days to see if a could manage to feel comfortable but up to now i don´t figure it out yet

any suggestions on that will be well received

888 is really good at skimming it's players account balances...Their bonuses are impossible to achieve, exchange rates absurd, PTP transfers are sent as a 'bonus' that has to be cleared, and have few withdraw options. They do have decent freerolls though but you have to navigate some big fields.

You will not find another site's software as good as Pokerstars. I have tried most of them but i still prefer Pokerstars.

I agree with that, but Full Tilt could make some small tweaks and pull ahead I think.

Still have the volume issue however.

the decent freerolls are one's where you gotta deposit such and such which brings up the fact that this site is promoted mostly to casual players, 888 does not want the crazy grinder who catches all the fish and drags them away and so if you like that type of site and not one where you have a wide selection of different games, good promotions, great support, etc. that stars has, then I would say go for 888 and have fun throwing those cakes and eggs to your opponents

888 is marketed to the casual/recreational player and I think that its a great site for building an initial bankroll. However when it comes to putting in volume then poker stars is a much better option

I tried playing the 888 but did not stay there long.
I'm used to the software PS.
A large number of tournaments, games, bonuses and other promotion.
Here i play and I would recommend it to everyone.

I played in both rooms. Naturally Stars on a software better, but if you compare with other small 888 room, the choice MTT there is much more (on any limits)
The two main disadvantage 888 - a relatively small number of players in all disciplines and withdrawals 5-7 business days ..

888 is good enough for building a roll but having a site with constant traffic, then stars it will be

Yeah I agree, when it comes to the client software and availability of games, nothing beats Pokerstars. I personally absolutely hate 888poker because of their client software.

888 software is really bad if you start looking through the cracks, they don't even have proper waiting lists for some tourneys

Ahhh damn. I read this AFTER downloading & installing 888.

Oh well. I'll still just try it out and see. Been having too many coolers and bad beats on Pokerstars. Thought I'd chill and stay away for awhile and go elsewhere till I feel confident to go back on that site.
