Default Pokerstars/FTP vs Absolute

I have been playing STT on absolute for the past few months at $22 9-man buy ins. I have rakeback there and the bonus structure with STT brings total rakeback to about 50% so thats been good, plus I really like the structure of the levels being based on # of hands rather than time.

As I plan to move up levels soon, the action on absolute kinda dries up, so I am contemplating switching to PS or FTP. I have played some STTs on PS before but didn't really enjoy the structure of the regular tourneys especially when 4 handed or less. I don't have rakeback on FTP either.

My question for those in the know, which site of the three would people recommend and why. Should I switch to turbos to make the level structure a bit more like the absolute games I'm used to? Any advice is appreciated.

Don't play absolute for anything even remotely mid/high stakes.

In case you didn't know, they have superuser issues. And they lied about it. And they don't really care about fixing the problems that caused it.

I've played a few of the $44 at absolute but it seems to be mostly regulars and extremely tighter players than the $22s there. Is this the reason for the above post? Any other factors for this Danny?

SUPERUSERS SCAMMING POKER PLAYERS.

search bbv if you are serious that you have never heard of this. basically several superusers could see everyones cards at AP and its incredibly likely that it was the president/former president of the company who was the villian. They also denied cheating was going on for a long time until presented with rockhard fact evidence. If i was you, i'd withdraw all of your money on principle, but thats your call.

Yeah I heard of that. I agree with what sklansky wrote in his response. I have done well there, and if superusers are playing sub $50 sit n go's for profit, NH!

Anyway, further advice would be greatly appreciated, especially from people who have or do play at all three sites.
