As everyone has realized by now the tightness of Empire,Eurobet,Multipoker,and god knows what is going on with Intertops and PokerNow has been a great source of frustration for many players.Being a somewhat break even/slightly ok player(but a devoted student to the game) it seems that the skins will only serve as places to bonus chase now.Despite my tight aggressive player I am still down nearly -100BB for the month and suffice to sya very frustrated indeed.
When I am finished with my Eurobet SHAW reload I am considering checking out playing more at Party where the bigger fish lie,as well as perhaps spending more time on PokerStars.Does anyone else feel that those two sites will be the biggest hunting grounds now for the future?

Party has great games. Poker Stars is great for tournies and hit/miss on cash games. If you look hard, there are some GREAT cash games on smaller sites. Generally ones associated with sports booking do the best job of delivering gamblers.

Thanks to Party, I recently discovered another crazy poker-site.
I got sick of playing the skin-tight tables. Hah, I just made that up...SKIN-TIGHT. So I went roaming.
Eventually walked onto the fishiest tables I've ever seen. They seem to think middle pair is the nuts. Lots of guys there will call your bets with just one overcard hoping to catch it on the river. Ahhhh, schweet.

Don't give it up that easy, EasyT. The place could double in size just from the FTR folks. I want to keep it small.

I found a site where the % seeing the flop is 60% on almost every table. The problem is, it disconnnects all the time and the disconnect protect is horrible. When/if you get back in, you aren't on your table any more. So, I'm back to Party.
Is EuroBet really that tight? I was going to do the initial deposit bonus just so I feel like I"m getting something free, but I keep hearing it's rock central.
Yeah - besides Party, where are there sites with soft games that have good bonuses and reliablity?

All the Party skins are equally tight because they still share the same tables. And yes, they're a lot rockier than they were pre Oct 6, 2005. This will not last forever, though. It's the first part of a cycle. The rocks stay and put up with each other because they have all their "eggs in one basket" for rakeback this month. Next month, many will work rakeback elsewhere.
My prediction: November 1, the skins get easier. By December 1, it'll be back to a more typical mix of players. (Skins will never be as fishy as Party, though).

Lots of players have been going to Bodog, which is notoriously fishy. But I've heard (not been there) that the Skins spill-over to Bodog has made the tables there a little less fishy.

yeah, but Bodog has a good bonus system too, as well as really good overlays in their MTTs.

Bodog is not as fishy as it once was. But that's not saying nothing much!
My thinking is along the lines of rilla's i.e. if i do the SHAW eurobet reload at the last moment, then it ought to be easier to clear.
Party is still fishy. But I can't bring myself to play in a room with no bonus or rakeback. It's against my principles

Eurobet is ok if clearing the bonus with rakeback.PokerStars is fishy at the low limits still,and Party has become even fishier since the split.Despite my losing skid I feel that the soft games there can still be ok in the long run.
Empire,Multi,and Intertops can screw themselves.Pokernow you don't even exist in our minds.
