PokerStars or GGPoker: Which is best for cash games?

I was also wondering this for a while whilst playing on Stars and played 30k hands on GG over the past few weeks, but switched back to Stars yesterday. Both playing 25z and 25 R&C.

GG Pros:

Pools are bigger
A lot of weak players
Promotions such as BBJ, leaderboard etc

GG cons:

rake is absurdly high
Need to put in a lot of volume to get anything decent from the LB
Rakeback is very ambiguous - not clear at all

25z on Stars is actually not that much harder than GG, and the rake is like half of what you pay on GG + there is a decent clear rakeback structure

Thanks for the information my friend helps a ton.

Honestly I was just afraid I was missing a huge opportunity to make some extra money cause all my friends talk about GG but they are probably as uninformed as I am.

Hi,Will I be banned if I play pokerstars in China?

What is the rake at Stars?

On GG it is 15% which is horrible.

And how is NL100 on stars compared to GG? Much harder?

Can’t find any information on rake back tho?

If you google search 'pokerstars.com rakeback' the first result is what you are looking for - https://www.pokerstarsmi.com/stars-rewar...

Edit: I just realized that I get auto-directed to the Stars Michigan site for those links above due to my location. You are going to want to google search yourself for 'pokerstars.com rake' and 'pokerstars.com rakeback' as the Stars.com ROW Rake and Rakeback may be different than what we have here in the NJ/MI USA ring-fenced pool.

Thanks for the answer.

Do you play on stars? Is the player pool tough on NL100?

I can't answer that as I do not play NL100 and I do not play on PokerStars.com. As mentioned above, I play on PokerStarsMI.com in the ring-fenced PokerStars Michigan and New Jersey pool.

50nl zoom is much tougher than 50 R&C I found
