Hey so Im trying to choose between the two for 25-50nl, I know there is more knowledge gained at stars but Im looking for which site is more profitable. I heard 888 took away rakeback and now use something called players club? Does this mean that your sample size does not get rewarded? Also in terms of % how much rake will be payed at 25nl on 888 vs stars? I looked at their charts but I'm terrible these stuff. People say 888 have the worst players which is why Im wondering.

Players on 888 are not as bad as most people say, I dont know why they even say it, but I suggest playing on 888 as I love playing there

in low stacks it's normal to find really bad bad players, sometimes you find some fishes and it's common to find people that lose control and make a tilt, in pokerstars it's not easy to find these type of players but yes that doesn't mean that in 888 all players are bad or you have to shove AA preflop because you're going to be called, its not too easy.

Only pokerstars, because I do not play in 888.

Recently, a player professional (team pokerstars) broke the exclusive contract to play on other sites too, because the site stayed less profitable.

I probably prefer the 888 since there are Micros really weaker players

If I am not mistaken the pokertars charge more rake on cash games . if you need cashback go to stars , but 888 Poker isn't so bad , more loose players are in 888 poker as far as I have heard and the freerolls for each level aren't bad either , better than stars , especially if you gain a higher level up , there the freeroll are very good .
