LC: Stars vs FTP
 

I know for cash ftp is tougher to beat than pstars. But regarding sng's , has anyone played both sites? Are the 10+1 turbos as tough/ or tougher than the 15+1s turbos on pokerstars? I wanna clear there bonus and get rakeback but would like to atleast achieve an roi in double digits while doing so (10%). I will keep my roll on stars for MTT.
Can anyone comment on the ease of the game comparing the two regarding STT?

In the few I've played on Full Tilt, FTP is by far easier (again, I've only played ~10, so maybe I just got lucky) than Stars. The $16s are fairly easy to beat as well, but I feel you could easily maintain a 15% ROI in the $11s on FTP if you're an above average player.

A few months ago i would pick a random ftp turbo that was aleady playing, and a PS table of the same buy in (usually the 12s and 16s) and the stars tables always had more winning players.

I know this is could be easily flawed, but there is my little experiment.

Also i feel like the 12s on ftp are close to the 6.50s on stars. I have never played a 16 on stars, so i have no idea there.

hope this helps

the 11s on ftp have some decent regulars as well as the 16s on stars. I think the competition is pretty similar, but since FTP has good introductory deals and guaranteed RB, play on there.

No.

Truth is they're about the same in difficulty. At stars the buyin is higher so you should be able to make more money playing 16s. The rake is also lower as a percent of buyin on Stars.

At either site you will have to be pretty damn good to do better than 10% long term.

I haven't played that much on ftp 12s but imo people start spitecalling a lot faster there than on stars 16s, and have a bit looser calling ranges to begin with. Pot button sucks and antes rock. ftp's structure has more 15-30bb play and starts with 50bb so flopping sets isn't as much fun.

With 27% rb on ftp rake/buyin is 6.6%, stars with silverstar (= 11% for 1.5c/FPP) it's 5.9%.

i play 15+1 on stars and 11+1 on FTP, they are the same difficulty, but i like the blind structure at Stars much more

really?

Re: LC: Stars vs FTP
 

This shouldn't even be an argument. FTP is much softer, at least at the high buy-ins. If it weren't for supernova elite and the fact that I can't get rakeback on FTP since I signed up for my account when I was a n00b, I would definitely be playing on FTP.

i have 100k fpp's on stars and i have no idea what to do with them. i wish they were cash
