NL10 FT vs Stars

[hohenadel]

I have been playing NL10 at both FullTilt and Pokerstars lately. I have played many more hands on Stars but I like FT better. I have winning numbers on both sites.....Seems like all is well right? Well I have a question that really puzzles me..The FT rake seems to be ENORMOUSLY higher than at Stars. Doesn't that mean that the NL10 game at FT is much harder to beat at the same rate? If any one has any info on the rake systems on the two sites or any suggestions for better strategy to beat the rake better at FT please post...

I found it really hard to beat the rake at NL10 on Full Tilt. So then I did the obvious thing and shortstacked NL25 on Party and went ROBUSTO [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

What is the Stars/Tilt rake schedule comparison?

Do you have RB?

no I do not have rakeback........dont feel like opening a new account and re installing and everything....plus depositing is a major hassle due to living in the great U.S. of A. I dont have any info on the rakes at either site I was hoping someone else did though....

Here is why sir: FT's rake schedule for 10NL is $0.05 per $0.50 in the pot up to $2.00, while stars' sticks with $0.05 per $1.00 up to $3.00. There are so many more small pots than large pots that the difference from 2.00 to 3.00 is hardly noticeable compared to the difference between 5% and 10%.

so what would the suggestion be? Avoid playing NL10 at FT and try to play NL25? Or is NL10 still beatable just maybe requiring some more hands played for the same numbers as Stars for net winnings..
