So far I have been more successful on unibet then on pokerstars.

I have been playing those spin&go, and in my experiences UniBet was giving out bigger prize pool.

I am pretty sure they have control on how loose the cards come out. Play seems to vary from site to site and thats fact.

Few years ago I ran really badly in Stars and really well in Winamax. Last year it was upside-down and now I run really badly both of those. And I just made an account to ACR thanks for CC and freerolls and now it feels like that I'm running really well there :D

Agree. I am not going to name sites in a negative context (in part because CardsChat obviously has a good faith relationship with many) but my results vary wildly from one site to another and yet my style of play varies little if at all.

I've had periods of weeks/months where I have stopped playing a site because it literally felt I had been blackballed. And, its not like I believe I am targeted personally as such, it's more the impression I get is people are put loose streams...favored, unfavored etc.

It can be an eye opener to get off the pay sites and play at a private/member practice poker site with a certified RNG and find you get bad and good hands with balance. But then, of course, there is no incentive to tilt the algorithm for this type of site...

Well said. That also sums up my view on the subject as well.

Unless you're equally bad it's probably quite hard to be "as good" in 2+ different sites therefore obvious answer is yes ;)

It’s normal to play 888 Poker, party poker and i-poker. A good player can play at many poker rooms in plus. Look at the statistics of the positive regulars. )))

I think part of it is structural and other is sample size. You could have 2 sites that offer 6max hypers, but one will pay 1st 66% and the other will pay 60% which changes the icm. Other things like difference in rake or starting stack sizes will also impact the results.

Sites with small fields tournaments will be "easier" since variance will not come always...

Pokerstars it is the most difficult site because the large number of players... ;)

So yes, I do perform well in other sites than pokerstars :3

Ya I did a lot better on Pokerstars and FTP than on these shitty sites Americans get to play on now :(.

I think these sites have some highly questionable RNGs

I seem to be doing better in tournaments on 888 Poker than on PokerStars. I attribute it to a combination of softer games and variance. For cash games and single table SnGs my results are similar between the two sites.

I usually do badly at all hahaha! , but beyond that what I have noticed is that in certain places the coolers predominate in exponential ways and in a constant way, clearly so that the wells are larger and the rake is rising!:(

well that's a matter of everyone if you have a solid game you will be fine where you play but with respect to the different ones if they differ a lot there is room that are more tragic than others lol

Better on some

I do agree there seems to be a marked difference in results on some sites. On 888 and ACR I seem to do well with variances on both when luck is in a downward cycle (like right now) However, Pokerstars is a different story, I haven't done well there in two years. My winning or in the money % in 2018 was over 30% of tourneys played, usually $5 or less entries. Since mid 2018 I don't think Ive placed in the money in 2% of tourneys played on Pokerstars. Don't know why, my style of play is pretty standard, Tight-aggressive, with few if any all ins. This kind of discrepancy has led me to play only free rolls or play money on Pokerstars.

I think you also have to take into consideration the competence of the player pool and stakes you are playing.

Best of all, I play PokerStars and 888Poker. I believe that all poker rooms are the same, in each I can win and lose, it depends on my experience, skill, mood and well-being, as well as on how my opponents play. I really like poker rooms like SportsBetting, BetOnline and AmericasCardroom, but there I play much less often.

Most of the sites from the old days that I ran well at are no longer an option being from the United States. Back then when you were running bad at one place you had a lot more options to play where you were running good and more comfortable.
