It depends. :)

New players to Cake can get rakeback, which is nice.
pokerstars has more players and more games, so you can play what you want when you want.

PS tends to have better players.

Cake poker has some pretty good games.
poker stars is huge and has lots of action.
Depends what your looking for,I myself like cake because it is smaller than pokerstars.

Pokerstars is the biggest poker room in internet. That is this way because people like it more.

Alot of beatable opponents?

CAKE POKER is the one

The Torunaments on Cake are super soft and I found it also easier to make money than Pokerstars..Pokerstars software is a bit better to mutli-table and all that jazz..

Stars

Cake poker might be easier to win money since there is more Donks but there software is TERRIBLE compared to poker stars. Plus there is way bigger tournaments on pokerstars. My fav. poker room is Full Tilt I recommend it to anyone. It's awesome software and theres tons of tourneys on there. Trust me cake poker software is soooooooooo slow

The Double up sit n go's at cake are a great way to make a little cash quickly. As for regular tourneys, I just recently started playing at Poker Stars again after staying away for about a year, I am much happier with Pokerstars now they have many more tournaments for all levels and bankrolls.

PokerStars and SportsBook (Cake skin) were my first poker sites. Starting out I liked SportsBook because it was easier to deposit from the US and they ran frequent reload bonuses. However their software does suck. Once my online game started improving I much preferred Stars (for cash) and later FullTilt for tourneys, making a lot more money on both than I ever did on SB.

Another drawback to Cake if you're a student of the game and intend to use tracking software to track not only your own stats but those of others, is that Cake is THE most strict network about tracking software. You are not allowed to run a HUD, and not allowed to track anybody else's stats. You can track your own stats with approved software like HEM as long as the software complies with their restrictions, but pretty soon you're going to want to run your stats against a specific player and you won't be able to. There are some "hacks" and HH converters to allow you to capture other player's stats but it's a major hassle and not very reliable (the reason Cake allows player name changes every week is to thwart trackers). That was ultimately the final straw for me as I became more enamored with tracking software. They will however allow Hold'em Indicator and Tournament Indicator, which I'd say is the next best thing to a true HUD. My SB affiliate signup was actually to get a free copy of Hold'em Indicator, which was my first poker software.

PS has way more options to play and is always busy. Cake definately has softerplayers but alot less traffic means your favorite game may take a while to fill up.
