10nl Fulltilt vs Pokerstars
 

Have played at both in the past, all at 10nl and 25nl.
I was just comparing rake paid, and it seems full tilt charge doubled the rake at 10nl, but only give 27% rakeback.
Just wondering why so many 2+2ers play there at micro limits, seems that even after rakeback, you are still losing alot.
Here are the rakes

Pokerstars

10nl 6players $0.05 per $1.00 in pot, $3 max

Full tilt
10nl 6players $0.05 per $0.50 in pot, $2 max

You can datamine on Fulltilt and not on pokerstars. That's worth quite a bit.

Yes. I open 15 tables and let it sit for 15-30 min before I'm ready to jump in. Then get on the waiting list for the ones I want.

Re: 10nl Fulltilt vs Pokerstars
 

You don't even have to open PT and PA HUD until you're ready to play.

Re: 10nl Fulltilt vs Pokerstars

There's also software for it, which does this automagically and in the background.
