Default Stars, UB, or Full Tilt

I was looking for some advice for which site I should move to. I used to bonus-whore a lot, then I moved to WPEX, but the 100% rakeback doesn't compensate for the toughness of the games. I play LHE, currently at the 1/2 level both full ring and shorthanded.

I was going to go to UB, but I was looking at PokerSiteScout and saw that they don't have near the traffic that FT and Stars have. I wasn't really considering Stars because you can't get rakeback there, but if the quality of the games are good enough then maybe it's worth it.

Anyways, considering the game and level I play along with available bonuses and rakeback, what site would you recommend I move to. Thanks for any help [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

the games at FT are actually easier than stars now IMO.... FTP has some aggro monkeys while stars is a bunch of nits.

People say that FPPs on stars are the same as rakeback so it doesnt really matter. IMO, if it was close obviously rakeback is better.

Sounds about right.

I played some $100NL on Stars this weekend.

I had AA 7 time on PokerStars the last 3 days. My win % was 100%. Total winnings $24.70.

For the record, my VIP was 39.57% and PFR 24.82%.

I would say Stars is real nitty.

KK results (7 times) were very similar except the one time we got it all in preflop. You guessed it. I was up against AA.

Ufck Stars and the nits that live there.

PS: 3 Days of play, 1539 hands, total winnings $11.75, playing one table and paying attention to what I was doing.

If you are a mid to high volume player then Stars' FPP program is at least as good as FTP rakeback.

Can you do anything else with those points other than buy accessories? I mean do you get any cash?
