no problem.

but how valuable are these "points" compared to the points you get on full tilt?

[/ QUOTE ]

They are much more valuable. I often see figures of around 0.16c per point quoted around here.

is it the same thing?

No, definitely not.

Essentially, to put it in perspective and summarise the discussion:

if you do have rakeback at full tilt, it is a close decision between playing at PS and FTP. It depends on your level of play, your playing volume, you're long-term expectations (PS "rb" increases as you play more; they also have lower rake to begin with) and other stuff.


if you do not have rb at full tilt, the comparison is not even close, and you are almost certainly massively better off playing at pokerstars.
