Stars vs. Full Tilt- Pro's and Cons

[michaelantoi]

does the benefits with FPP/VPP at stars outweigh RB of 27% at FTP?

[Reef]

at platinum level on stars, you are getting the equivalent of 14% rakeback.

[michaelantoi]

so it's better to play at FTP in terms of benefits?

Is it hard for a NL50 player to get to Supernova?

[kidpokeher]

You get a point when the pot is raked $1+ and you need 100,000 for supernova. Plus you need at least 10,000 every month to maintain platinum status while you're shooting for supernova.

[michaelantoi]

thats for the higher limits

$0.40 for $1/$2 and lower.

does that make it any easier?

[kidpokeher]

My bad, it changed recently. Same requirements for the VIP club, though.

Can someone do a calculation for me how long it takes at .5/1$ NL 6max to earn 10,000 points?

As in, how often are pots raked for 1$+ playing this limit?

[HeadWaiterSports]

I prefer Tilt for both the ring action and the tournaments. Their mutli's, in my opinion, are some of the best on the net and you are never hurting for good ring action. I play both 5/10 limit and 2/4 or 3/6 no limit and always have good table selection and good action.

The only drawback are those stupid avatars and backdrops but I lose them and do a midnight setting and it is much better.

Just not a big fan of stars players or software.

anyone else care to respond as to why they prefer to play on stars where theres no RB?

I like the games better at Stars, but I was foolish enough not to get RB on FT so that makes the decision a little easier for me. If I had RB at FT I'd probably play there for that reason even though I like them slightly less than Stars.
