I hear this alot, but I'm not so sure. I think that the variance of playing massive fields (Stars) is tougher to measure when comparing it to relatively small fields on Party.
My lifetime ROI is actually higher on Stars than Party (according to OPR)...although Party does not show live satty seats won for some reason, which I think would bring them pretty much on par.
Can't speak for cash games and SNG's though.
I don't really follow the rake on sng's and cash.....how does Stars compare to the competition (Party, 888, etc) after the increase?
It certainly would suck for anyone grinding these for a living, no doubt.
