10 days into The Party/skin split

they are also offering a major reload with 100% max up to 300 but 20x raked hands to clear... GL to anyone who tries that and may god have mercy on their souls.

how much traffic has there been at empire/eurobet/etc since the split?

the player pool probably has a similar profile as that of party, so i would assume that the games are just as good (at least at the lower limits), but that the major change would be a significant drop in the number of games available.

has anyone put it significant time there since the split? just curious as to what the change in game conditions are, and if even with a 20x playout it would be worth it to play there for the bonuses.

Ive heard the empire games are rock gardens with all the players just being people who are trying to clear a bonus.

i thought that might be the other possibility.

looks like party made a good move, as they should scoop up most of the customers that were playing on the skins anyways. not as i fthey werent the 800 pound gorilla of online poker anyways.

I'm actually surprised that Empire's numbers are "only" down 10% as a result of this. I suspect they will continue to drop...

I never like Empire simple because they never change or innovate. Maybe by buying into Titan they are doing some of that. Party added Bad Beats, nice tourneys, great overlays, and Empire had nothing going for it except the same old player pool. So good luck to Party. They deserve to be best.
