I have always thought that Party was the loosest site, but playing at Pacific has made me think that they may win the crown.

Any idea if the "players per flop" percentage in their lobbies is correct, or do they inflate those numbers?

Which sites do you think are the loosest.

I put Party, Pacific, and Paradise in the top three.

VC poker is by far the worst and loosest site possible. Go do there free $10 thing, bring it to a $10MAX table and go all in. U'll get like 6 callers, its rediculious

I am finding VC very loose! Even at .5/1 its amazingly donkish.

I think it tends to be based on how they recruit players. VC is a bookmaker in the UK and therefore gets a lot of people that are gamblers by nature and don't really know a lot about poker. The same goes for Pacific as they recruit via their online casino 888.com. I believe bodog is a sportsbook and a casino as well.

I think the sheer volume of players at party with it being the best known mean they get a big variety of players and therefore the good to bad player ratio is probably heavily in favour of bad players, similar to Stars I guess.

Never played Paradise so I can't comment on them.

yes there are but dont deposite ur own money. ge the free 10 or dont use it. Its really not worth it

Why? you just said the players are horrible. I havent played there myself, I'm just curious.

Cause it has the most rediculious beats i have ever seen.

Im not even kidding, every time u are all in against someone you have dominated, i can tell u exactly what will come out, and u WILL loose.

You PRAY ur the underdog if ur all in, because he ALWAYS wins

thats funny cause my 1st 6 days seemed very statistacaly straight and then a few hours yesterday it was like switch was flicked and for rest of day couldnt win a hand, just bad beats and coolers.

today came on and same thing for first couple hours and then switc came undone and back to normal. took a real beatin needless to say and just recovering my roll now.

oddest part is when i started my first day, when things went bad, and went back to normal, were all about same time of day, making the bad luck period exactly the 24 hrs of my 7th day!

Weird...maybe they are trying to tell me something lol

I feel safer on a larger site because they have more to lose if they cheat with withdraw curses and the like.

You also could try what a friend and I did to see if they have enough checks against collusion. We sat on the same table using the same I.P. and got no intervention at Absolute Poker. The next day I took my money out never to return.

Try that on Party and you will be immediately flagged by their anti-collusion software.
