Default NoIQ vs FTP

I am switching to NoIQ poker (iPoker) very soon and I have a quick question.

I play NL10 on FullTilt and I would like to know how those games compare to the ones on NoIQ. I am guessing it should be about the same, micro stakes can't be that different from site to site right?

Can anyone who has made the switch comment on this?

(Posted in micro stakes forum, oops.)

I found a difference between sites at microstakes.

IMO FT players seem better (they aren't good, just better than players at other sites)

I play bigger stakes on the iPoker network, and I think you're going to be very happy playing there. You have a good rakeback deal and all that?

Yes, I will use one of the affiliates. I think they all offer very similar things deals. If you know of one that you think is better I'd appreciate a PM [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Put it this way - I have 50,000 hands logged at $200 and $400 NL 6 max tables at NoIQ past 3 months - I note up any player I get in a significant pot with when the play isn't trivial.

Until last night I had a total of one player noted as 'may be decent'. Last night I came across a 2nd one.

There is no comparison at any stakes between the US grinder sites (Stars/FTP etc) and iPoker. My RB this month at iPoker is also equivalent to 55% (and I'm only a part time player). I could bust a gut at Stars against much better players for a few sucky FPP's instead - worth maybe 10-15% RB if I'm lucky.

Anyone who is able to play cash games at iPoker and chooses Stars instead is either challenging themselves on purpose (maybe not such a bad idea at the micros) or likes throwing money away..

I switched from Pacific Poker to FTP for NL10 and the games are noticeably tougher. Less limpers, more agro players, more pre-flop raises and re-raises and lots of floating. On the good side, I now have rakeback and the FTP bonus accumulating. My game has also improved as I had to adjust. Might try out Ipoker after I clear the FTP bonus and see how things are over there.
