Pokerstars because it offers the best tournament schedule, and is clear and easy to follow. I also like the FPP program, as it gives you a chance to qualify for tourneys that you wouldn't normally have a chance to play in.

Seriously, why?

JD? Why?

Party = worse players
Party = better cash game selection
Party = rakeback

But Stars does have 3 WSOP champions, I'll give them that.

Even if you really believe Stars is better, still, "hands down?"

"Hands down" makes me lolz!!!!

But Party has a plus...Cute n sexy Shabi's there 24/7! lol

Am I the only one that thinks Stars regular tournament structure is putrid?

As for the best site, I voted for Full Tilt. I love table mining 16 tables at once, plus the periodic $300 reloads keep me happy.

Deposit $600 or more, get $300 worth in bonus money. I believe they have a current reload going.

Stars is better cuz of all the reasons AEQ mentioned and their freakin Interface kills parties - it is so easy to 8 table and easily know who bet wut and where u are in the hand - where party is much more difficult to read IMO.

Yes they have them somewhat regularly:
"Starting April 15th, make your first redeposit while you have no bonuses pending, and we'll give you a 50% bonus up to $300."

=

Of course, nothing beats that first deposit bonus of $600 (100%).

Stars is prettier, yes. Stars has better support, yes. Stars has better tourneys too.

But if you are a cash game player looking to MAKE MONEY, I'm with shabi - The Party is at Party.

If a pretty interface is more important to you than $ in your pocket, then by all means, play (your cash games) at Stars.

Another vote for Stars, although I'm making a deposit on Party now too because I'm primarily a cash game player and hear the games are real soft. I really like Stars Interface though, so far I can't stand looking at any others for more than 1 hour. I think Aeq pretty much covered the reasons Stars owns.

I love the way stars works, and the tournament fields are huge. Plus they have the best customer service I have ever seen.

I go with Party, the O8 players are much less disciplined and skilled. Also, while Stars does have better tournament structure, it is difficult to find a tourney in that cluttered box.
