Is GGpoker better or WPTglobal?
GGPoker has way more games on offer. Way higher player traffic.
WPTGlobal far fewer games. The software is very heavy (CPU intensive). The site gets busier very late at night (for Canadians... I actually play on there at around 11pm but I am Pac.Timezone). The tables have MANY Asian players on them (more than 1/2 and probably closer to 2/3). The play is FAR looser & crazy vs. any site I think I've ever played on (I've played on over 40 sites since 2007)
The software is really lacking! THere's no note taking or color-coding feature. HandHistory replayer can't even really be used while playing (it stays on top of your table so you can't see what is currently happening on your table when you open the hand history feature). It feels like it is 20 yrs. old.
I play pretty much the lowest stakes of cash tables on WPTGlobal. They don't have very many tournaments running.
Here's a couple of screenshots showing what's on there. SMALL prizepools.
Cash tables, are different. 10nl is the lowest available. (GGPoker has 2nl). Blinds are 0.02/0.05/0.10 (yah.. there's 3 blinds). Most of the cash tables have ante as well... or BIG ante (which makes for a crazy game where you see 5 or 6 players to every flop).
The tables seemed designed for VERY gambly action (ie. Bomb pots, 'Big Ante') and you'll see some of the wildest play you'll probably ever see anywhere online (multiple players going allin with
hands most player would never consider opening even from Late position).
I'm not exaggerating.
I play on both. What can I say. I can't help myself. But I also play on
