at NL$100, the rb at FT is the better option... unless you are aupernova at stars, then its very comparable, if not better... just from a money standpoint

[Cry Me A River]

If you play enough to get Supernova at Stars (doesn't sound like you do, or at least it would take you 5 or 6 months to get it) then Stars "rakeback" is better than FTP's rakeback at $100NL. If you can at least get Platinum, you're in the same ballbark as FTP but FTP rakeback is a little better. (At $100NL, Platinum is about 22K hands per month).

I play full time at Stars, but I played at FTP for a couple weeks not long ago to clear a reload. I found the games at FTP ($50NL and $100NL full ring) to be more nity but also more straightforeward than Stars. Not as many donkeys and complete fools, but also not as many good regulars making sophisticated plays. The average quality of play is not very different, but I'd say FTP runs closer to the median, not as many really good or really bad players.

Stars support>>>>>>>FTP support.

I used to play Ongame a lot. The games are quite good, however the software is really brutal particularly if you multi-table heavily. And the support is as bad as Party.

Definitely not. I'm in the 13,000 hand a month range. I own my own business so that takes up the bulk of my time. Poker is more like a hobby that lets me make a few bucks so we can take and extra vacation during the year.

Based on what I'm reading the best choice may be to move to FT or stay at Party. Stars is probably not the best option considering I'm a relatively low volume player.

I'm definitely considering this as well. I know what my winrate is at Party and I'm not sure I'd be able to replicate it elsewhere. There are some good players but there are far more guys willing to call off their entire stack with top pair. I'm not sure I'd see this with the same frequency at other sites.

go to party or stars, ftp support sucks, their software sucks, and you can get your money confiscated for no reason. Not to mention bots, check delays, etc.
