Poker...been trying an experiment..

There are a ton of high stakes players that played on Party skins to get the rakeback. It sounds like some of them will be moving to places that will continue to give them rakeback. When you play $50-$200 Sit and Gos you definitely notice that a lot of regulars are missing. That just means there is less competition for me at the moment!

I would still think that playing on Party with unlimited fish would be better than playing on a smaller site with rakeback.

Ryan, I understand that train of thought, but if party does successfully push empire ( intertops, ect ) out and can buy them out, they will still be #1. PokerStars COULD be #1 if their affiliate program was worth a damn...

Empire has 'issues' on the affiliate side, and now that they can no longer claim that they have 70K players, I see their numbers dropping... actually I have seen them dropping in my stats over the past few weeks.

Miss Eve, other than a few top players, most players would do better bonus hunting than rackback. The average player does not generate enought to equal what they would get with bonus' if they would really stop and think about it.
