Make the move to FTP?

So, my original plan was to get my $50 bonus from Pokerstars, play my bankroll up to 600, and then move over to FTP for their bonus/27% rakeback. As of now, I've got 1300+ on PS, but I also have almost 13000 FPP! Do you think it's a good idea/profitable to, say, get enough FPP for an iPod or Wii, buy it, and then cash out and move to FTP for the bonus, or is the FPP system worthwhile, and the move not really worth the trouble? Is the play on FTP different?

Bottom line: What would YOU do with 1300 bucks and 13000 FPP?

Id move to absolute where the players are super soft cuz no 2+2ers play there.

Okay, but how much FPP does it cost to get a superuser account?

75,000. Last I knew, at least.

The low stakes games at FTP are super tight. If your comfortable playing loose-aggressive you could probably run them over. If you play pretty tight then it's kind of a grind. Table selection is your friend.

Thank you for confirming what I have thought about FTP since UIGEA. It's super-tough to build a roll there at micro-stakes (and Pokerstars, too).

I don't play at FT but the Stars micro stakes are not tough.

PS micro games aren't as tough as FTP, but with so many other poker sites, none of which are as tough as either PS or FTP, it doesn't make sense (IMO) to play on either site if you are an average player and are trying to build a roll. People on either site make fewer mistakes than players on other sites. So that's what I'd say.
