Stars, UB, or Full Tilt

What are the big cons with Absolute?

[/ QUOTE ]

Their rake structure sucks for $2/4 and $3/6 ($0.25 for each $5.00 in pot).

Example: $15 pot= $0.75 rake compared to nothing at Stars or Fulltilt. It adds up fast.

Define "nit" please.

I'm thinking its hud using multi-tabling micro stakes tag?

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?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah. $1500 for 100k points, which works out to ~ 28% RB at 1/2 IIRC. If you play more, the stepping Bonnii are even better ($2k for 50k points = ~ 70% RB for those hands.)

Also, you earn points MUCH faster at 3/6 and especially 5/T.

I might just have to switch to stars. Rakeback issues have been increasingly frustrating lately (ie. UB/Party/liking FTP but not having RB).
