Default Absolute poker vs Stars/Tilt

What are the games and traffic like on AP compared to Stars or Full Tilt?

Also, for someone playing 20K-ish hands a month is it better to go for the 30% rakeback at AP or Stars PP's?

PM me if you wish.

You can compare traffic for yourself at pokersitescout.com.

Pokerstars has more than FT and they both have a lot more than AP.

As for rakeback concerns - if you are playing 20k hands/month you will most likely be a platinum star which is ~27% rb (? someone correct me if i am wrong). To compare to ap's 33% you would have to get to supernova, which will require more hands.

I built up alot of my intial roll playing the NL 100 FR games at AP. The games were always good but at the time there usually wasn't more than 4 tables going. It was made up by the fact that you can buy in for 200bbs though.

This was back in like October though so ymmv.

I cleared alot of bonus $ there and got rakeback too, although they changed the way they calc RB for the worse.

How does rakeback work at Stars? I couldn't find the info. Is this the VIP Reward Bonus you can get by cashing FPP's?
