Pokerstars vs 888?

Which do you think is better and why?

#2 August 13th, 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 August 14th, 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 August 14th, 2016, 6:16 PM

pokerstars - the pleasant interface, is more to people

#6 August 14th, 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 August 15th, 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 August 15th, 2016, 1:19 PM

The best software on Pokerstars.

#12 August 15th, 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

#13 August 15th, 2016, 6:46 PM

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

#14 August 15th, 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 August 15th, 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 August 15th, 2016, 8:22 PM

Pokerstars

#17 August 15th, 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 August 16th, 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 August 16th, 2016, 12:39 PM

PokerStars 1 : 0 888 win PokerStrategy

#20 August 20th, 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 August 22nd, 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 August 23rd, 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 August 23rd, 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 August 23rd, 2016, 11:39 PM

PokerStars definitely is best poker room!

#26 August 24th, 2016, 12:07 AM

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

#27 August 24th, 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 August 28th, 2016, 9:01 PM

888 has more fish but horrible software

#29 August 28th, 2016, 9:14 PM

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

#30 August 29th, 2016, 6:34 AM

Which do you think is better and why?

#31 August 29th, 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 August 30th, 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 August 30th, 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 August 30th, 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 August 30th, 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 ..
