I have played at poker stars for 3 years now, and have recieved so many bad beats it makes my head spin.
I started playing at 888 poker and my style of play has
been great. I have won 5 or 6 tournaments, all kinds of
tournament tickets and hopefully still counting. I have
been playing there only 3 weeks and I am wondering
way I can win at 888 Poker and only get bad beats at
Joker Stars?

Play 888 for longer and you'll realise it happens everywhere! party poker does too, it's just how poker goes. Really depends how you can take the beats mentally. Some people understand it happens and some need to blame the site

Hi.
I play PokerStars, because there is a fairly wide selection of tournaments.
I also play 888, because there are a lot of good freerolls and various interesting promotions.
Good luck.

888 has softer fields and less players in the mtts making it easier to win there.

I prefer PokerStars. I think you’ll get bad beats everywhere. From the where to play guide on this site, it says 888 has more fish/ easier to win, but if you’re not challenging yourself as much then you won’t develop into a better player. Just my thought anyway. I enjoy PokerStars though, along with the TV tournaments. Commentary is great IMO :)

Play further in 888 poker if you are good at winning, try to get good results and make a good bankroll, there are normal freerolls in which you can try to win, good luck!

Both sites are great. I believe Pokerstars and Party Poker are much better than 888. So I prefer Pokerstars.

Great run on 888 we must make the most of it when we hit a purple patch because we do not know how long they last and when they will come around again.

Don't worry too much your bad beats are on the way on 888 variance will catch up to you on 888 as it does catches up with us all. It happens in all rooms to all players not just Pokerstars. Just part of the game got to learn to accept and deal with it.

I have played at poker stars for 3 years now, and have recieved so many bad beats it makes my head spin.

Both of these sites deserve attention. Each of them has something interesting and peculiar. Therefore, it is not worth choosing one of them, but rather simply play on both.

I play on 888 now because they give you free real money tournaments to play and a free small starting bankroll.

dont fix what aint broke. the field on 888 is super fishy. soft fields usually mean better results but they also mean very weird play at low stakes.. and in those ticket tournaments they give out all the time. 3 minute blinds and tons of donk but hey.. theyre free, right?

I like pokerstars more, first of all because of software, although I agree with you that pokerstars often happen to the bad beat

pokerstars or 888

hey,

in my eyes the big different are the size of players at pokerstars and 888 poker. I also change to 888 poker and at the Begin i won very fast in addition to pokerstars but i was of the numbers of players in the tournament. On poker stars in a micro stacks tournament are playing up to 2500 people and thats mean lot of loose agresiv players. And on 888 poker in the same stack size are playing only!!! :) around 1000 players and thats make a juge diffrence.

ikarusalpha :D

Hello.
I like 888 poker. This site has many advantages.
First of all, there are good conditions for new players there, in addition there is a large selection of different freerolls and good prizes.

Although your sample is very limited I believe that you can win more in a site with smaller fields , like 888 , ACR , PP and so on. I am not a fanatic of PokerStars but it is obvious that the site offers games 24/7.

I play in more than one sites and I like freerolls and some small buy in tournaments for now. I mostly play for the chance to make a massive bink.

In PS by investing only 1 usd you can win 500+ in tournaments like the big/bigger etc. This is huge IMHO!


No matter what's my opinion keep it up and GL by me sir!

888 freerolls often offer much higher rewards than POKERSTARS. Another thing to note is the size of prizes for paid tournaments, in which case POKERSTARS is better.

Actually, in the tests I did, POKERSTARS proved to be more stable, with less connection drops and less system slowness.

It is true my friend, in this question POKERSTARS has to evolve a lot. That would attract a lot more players to them.

No doubt we can play at any time of the day at POKERSTARS and we will find a very large number of players, but their promotions have not been as attractive as those of 888poker.

888 gives you an opportunity to build a stake. Then wander over to the other side of the street and play Poker Stars for the bigger and tougher tournaments.
