Stars S&G vs. FT Cash

[PrimordialAA]

OK, i'm sure this subject has been beat to death, but i'm pretty new to the forum, so bear w/me. I play HU S&G on stars, am always gold-plat. star each month, and make about 25k+ FPP because of this (can buy in to 1 or 2 of those 15k FPP STTs, making it kinda like rakeback, whatever, blah blah blah), but I guess my question is two parts: 1) What are the hourly rates at equivalent limits for stars HU S&Gs vs. FT HU S&Gs or FT HU cash, and as for FT's 27% rakeback, how does that factor in vs. Stars FPP program, etc. Just wondering if it's worth it to switch my site, and if the hourly rates / players ability is much different. Sorry if this is gibberish ;p, thanks for any help

What's your hourly at PS? What level do you play?


What kind of bankroll do you have?

i prefer to play FTP hu cash, as far as making money goes.5/1 or 1/2. the games are fairly easy at that level. when i start to get on a 4-5 BI downswing at tournys on FTP. i just buy into a cash game against some short stacks. as a whole however i prefer the HU sng. ther players there are generaly better( even tho im playing small at stars still $6&$10 hu sng.)

I'm dying to play HU cash. Still playing $10 sng's, but love to play .5/1 on ftp.

How's the skill level when you compare the $10 sng's with .5/1 hu cash games?

Should I take the risk and play .5/1 hu cash when my total br is ~$700? (I'm a winning player)

You need a lot more than 700. I have about 1500 I could devote to FTP right now at the most and I'm not even considering it. I play 110s too.

I'd imagine the skill level is > 10 but <110 at the 100NL HU cash games on FTP, as long as you don't sit with the better players.

it really depends on who your sitting with. i belive myself to be an average player right now i have a 58% win rate at multiple levels of sngs on stars and on ftp.i have yet to have a losing session playing cash on FTp, but i have been playing some pretty bad players. i use sharkscope to give me an i dea of wht type of player im sitting with, even tho those are sng results, i think that you can get some decent info on a cash game player as to how well they play. that being said, with 700 bucks i would not take a shot at it, you will be on scared money. if you REALLY.want to play it, i would take maybe $150 and short buy against another short stack and see how it feels. but over all, i would say wait until you have like 15 buy ins that way if you take a 4-5 buy in swing you can get back to playin the sng and still have a decent roll for those stakes.

I'd guess that any form of cash game is going to be more profitable than any form of SNG. The real question is what you enjoy. I personally really enjoy the SNG structure and have spent 2 yrs getting good at it so for me I'm not gonna mess with cash right now. If I wanna play cash, I'll go to Bay101 and do it live with the super fishies.

SO RY, What would be a good roll to have to play that level of cash game in your eyes? im obv. not a BR nit, but i am trying to keep a guideline from players who have been more sucsessful than me.
