I just switched to Stars. FT = rigged [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I see Stars FPP points as a bonus. I'm pretty frugal so the 2k a month a make in rakeback never gets spent and I would probably not buy a 52 in plasma with it. With Stars, I reward myself for putting in the hours.

The only thing I think FTP should consider changing is the way its NL software has a pot button. It has been discussed in great lengths but basically I don't think its that good for the games there. Stars slider is much better.

stars: more time to make a decition, so u can play more tables, supernova is even better than 27% in many levels, not all, plus frerrols and some bonuses once in a while, personals avatars, FTP avatars confuse me. more people, more games, better software. choose stars

Full Tilt has stupidly slow software, even compared to Stars. The O8 games just crawl. And I've been going through the longest period of 'wild deals' at FT. While I try to not think too much of it, it really turns me away from the site.

Suprised you didn't mention UB in this list. Huge rakeback percentage overall, the fastest software available and soft games.

Multitabling on UB has to be one of the most frustrating things.. it constantly brings whatever table had action to the front, even after turning it off in the options. Along with this I think the high rakeback(including the points-->$ promotion) is starting to turn UB into another Prima. I saw a lot more TAG grinders than there were fish. I guess I shouldn't expect different when Hellmuth is their biggest advertisement.

i get rb at ft and am considering a move to stars, but would that be profitable?... i mean i play 100nl and have rb of $350 coming to me... so would playing at stars me -ev or the added traffic would help/plus fpp?

~14% at Platinum level

~27% at Supernova level

these numbers seem way off. Isn't platinum a 200% fpp bonus and supernova is a 250% fpp bonus?
