Default Beginners Stars question

im new, but have noticed that PokerStars seems to be a popular cite among 2p2ers. it seems to me that rb promotions will aocunt for a large portion of any players profits, and i dont see how Stars could make up for this. FT is not an option for me. I would like to know what cite you use and why. thanks

Pokerstars has the best customer service and it is one the largest sites. Check out how they handle problem situations compared to the competition and you will be impressed. They have better tournaments than any site out there. Ultimatebet might be a good choice if you want rakeback and can't sign up for FT.

Good point. On the dark side of the world, Stars has enough players that i can still find soft tables at 2am U.S time.

In saying that, it doesn't get any juicier than Fri/Sat night for the U.S players....

i am american, and i think i am cut off from FT becuase dad made an account there using my computer, so wouldn't my signing up with bonuses fall under the catagory of fraud? also are all these major sites compatable with PT and HUD, anybody have any comments about absolute?

I'm an American and on PokerStars. I have heard players that play a lot of hours or for higher stakes say that the FPPs are as good at rakeback at other sites. One example often given is that the value of poker books that you could win (in other words, what you would otherwise spend on books) is equivalent to rakeback at other sites.

I can see that. Even playing $5 SNG, if I multitabled I could get free books on a regular basis.
