Pokerstars vs 888?

Which do you think is better and why?

#2 13th August 2016, 10:39 PM

pokerstars is much better imo , you can get much more rake back from their vip system ( 888poker club is useless , they had removed rake back from their pokerroom ) and rake & fee of pokerstars are also a bit lower than 888poker. anyway 888 is still a good place to play, i play both of them .

There's like 30 threads like these, no need to make another

#4 14th August 2016, 4:17 PM

that is really interesting two pokers can change your life is you wanna it for me PokerStars can give you much more at 888 everything if you wanna it of course

#5 14th August 2016, 6:16 PM

pokerstars - the pleasant interface, is more to people

#6 14th August 2016, 6:59 PM

PokerStars definitely.
There are a lot more players, which means that you can easy find any SnG/MTT/poker table to play at in any moment of the day and you don't have to wait too much for it.
And the interface is a bonus, it looks a 100 times better than 888.

yea, no reason to use a interface from 2002 on 2016 and the connnection of the server is pretty bad , i never disconnected from pokerstars , but everyday i disconnected a lot of times from 888 and then i have to use a vpn sometimes .
i hope 888 can just save some money from promotion to make a new interface to improve user experience and get some better servers .

200nl pro who makes videos said he likes 888 better because he makes twice as much, the software should only matter so much, it should be your bottom line that ultimately matters. I wonder how many of you that play on PS are proven winners, not trying to hate, just know the site isn't easy.

#10 15th August 2016, 12:55 PM

PS . not like the round table on 888 it is oval is more comfortable. 888 emoticons like tomatoes and no boring to play.

#11 15th August 2016, 1:19 PM

The best software on Pokerstars.

#12 15th August 2016, 2:26 PM

It really depends on what your comparing factors are.
Field compare: 888 is softer, ofc
Software: Pokerstars by far
Support: Pokerstars by far
Promotions: I think 888 has more to attract new players and keep making rake but Pokerstars already know they are the best so they dont really have to make huge promotions to attract players
And the rest, still Pokerstars

I think PokerStars yest in PokerStars is inposyble by android playing chech info tournaments about chips in play end blinds

#14 15th August 2016, 8:12 PM

Poker Stars used to be on the very top when it comes to poker sites, nevertheless they cut off supernova elite, seems to ruin their vip program as well and yet they lowered their gtds which indicates that something is wrong with their managements. In other hand 888 poker has a great freerolls for starting from scratch players even if they don't have a vip program at all. If they could work out on their withdrawal timeframes and vip program, Poker Stars would be struggling to keep their place on the throne...

#15 15th August 2016, 8:14 PM

Poker Stars is definitely, at least to me, I'm kind of used to that site, 888 is kind of weird, I do not know why

#16 15th August 2016, 8:22 PM

Pokerstars

#17 15th August 2016, 8:35 PM

For me Pokerstars. I am new to online poker tho, but It looks more professional and those challenges are good I think. The interface is really nice and easy to use

#18 16th August 2016, 10:34 AM

888 - much "fishier", bonus program - usless, a very importaint abbility to throw cakes at you ops.
PS - harder at any tipe of game,table,buyin... = less $$$
If you just whan to grind low buyins (1/2c,2/5c-1/2$ maybe higher, never tried) 888 could be better (more fishier players=more $$$)
If you want a full room were you plan on raiding 500/1000$ - go PS.
I don't know is it me but the ammount of bad beats and river A's on 888 are way to much than I can handle

#19 16th August 2016, 12:39 PM

PokerStars 1 : 0 888 win PokerStrategy

#20 20th August 2016, 4:32 PM

In my Pokerstars is a poker room for more serious games, room 888 is for beginners and the main fish school ...

#21 22nd August 2016, 11:19 AM

Pokerstars on a menu have much bigger offer, there is no question about that.

agree with You from top to bottom, but i still like to throw eggs and cakes into other players

#23 23rd August 2016, 8:33 PM

I prefer pokerstars. I especially like pokerstars selection of low buy in/ high pay out tournatments, and I can always get a sit and go seat within a reasonable amount of waiting time. I also like pokerstars poker school, which is informative and offers some incentives like, scratch and match tickets and so on.

Poker888 is okay, and they do offer a lot of free tournament tickets etc. (daily spins), a pretty good first deposit package, and a couple of freerolls everyday, but I do get disconnected fairly often. They also don't have near the selection of tournaments, and their tourneys tend to be low pay outs.

I'll continue to play at both.

Cheers . . .

#24 23rd August 2016, 8:36 PM

Yeah, I like that feature of 888, too. I often find myself looking for that option when I play at pokerstars.

#25 23rd August 2016, 11:39 PM

PokerStars definitely is best poker room!

#26 24th August 2016, 12:07 AM

Pokerstars by a mile. Software and player pool size being the two main reasons to play on Pokerstars.

#27 24th August 2016, 10:21 AM

888 is the best poker room for beginners because there's more freerolls and players have the opportunity to improve their game ... there is pokerstars poker room for more serious games

#28 28th August 2016, 9:01 PM

888 has more fish but horrible software

#29 28th August 2016, 9:14 PM

Certainly Pokerstars!) User-friendly interface , lots of different games , a lot of bonuses , well, a lot of decent players .

#30 29th August 2016, 6:34 AM

Which do you think is better and why?

#31 29th August 2016, 3:47 PM

Pokerstars by a mile, 888 has a lot of software issues that seemed to be fixed and then start acting up again.

#32 30th August 2016, 2:27 AM

Doesn't matter for me really.
I can play in both poker room and i had no problem in depositing/withdrawing from their site.
Plus i can use a HUD and leakbuster on both site.

#33 30th August 2016, 4:07 PM

For me it is simple:

If you want to make more money; play 888.

If you want the best software experience; play PokerStars.

For me I play both but my priority goes to 888 for the obvious reason $$$.

#34 30th August 2016, 4:08 PM

I've been playing mainly 888 for the few past months, I can say for sure that the field is much softer. When it comes to the looks of the software I don't really care, as long as it works, which it does.
However, the rakeback as well as rake is terrible in comparison. The base rakeback % is 10, compared to the 30(?) of pokerstars. And rake is higher in both cash and mtts, not by much but it adds up.

#35 30th August 2016, 5:09 PM

good for me eh used only pokerstar, aunq something and I do not like is the amount of hands where couples go cde overcards several players eh ... I played in casinos and the possibility of that happening is very low ... while in pokerstar time in the same hand as there is a AQ, KK, JA, JQ and the flop comes you 10 K, a for example .... that's something I'll never understand ...

for that reason I am tempted to play at 888 to see how they handled it there and to know what is best for my tastes ..
