Default Where to play FTP vs PStars

I'm currently playing the $50 NL tables on PStars. I 8-table and am doing ok (5 PTBB/100). I see myself playing a lot more NL and really love the game, here is my question, where should I play?

I currently have a 27% RB deal at FTP, and am currently a silver (going to be gold soon) member at PStars. Where should I play? Where is there easier competition? At 6000 hands at NL $50, how much RB would I have gotten back at 27%?

Just trying to make a good decision when the new year starts. When the new years starts I either want to be supernova in 3 months or I want to be raking in the $$ from RB.

Thx for the help.

supernove in 3 months playing at 50nl ? Not gonna happen, trust me [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

once you get supernove, the rate in FPP is better than the 27% RB (I think some items were calculated to be up to 32% rakeback)

before supernove, fulltilt will be the best place to get that rakeback

You might want to consider UB as well. Bonuses are really good right now ($650 sign-up bonus along with cash for points each week) + 30-35% RB (if you find a good affiliate and are 8 tabling you should have no trouble getting to the 33% RB tier). It works out to near 100% rakeback as long as you are still clearing bonus. Games aren't the greatest, but if you table select well they're not all that bad.

Well I do intend to move up in limits at some point! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Can anyone share with me their rakeback numbers at 50NL?

Pokerstars has all the fish.
Much better games on PS.
So easy to crush the PS games.

In conclusion play at PokerStars. Stay away from FTP, bad mojo.

No RB at PS though, and very limited bonuses. RB is worth about 2 PTBB/100 to me right now, RB + bonuses = about 3.5 PTBB/100. Are the PS games really that much softer that you can win 3.5 PTBB/100 more than at FT or UB?

FTP is way better for lower limit player (as opposed to NL200 and above)

I'd really appreciate you expanding on this. How? What are the tables like there typical? Typical avg pot sizes/VPIP's would be cool.

TAG's per table would be awesome too. Stars it seems like there's usually at least 2, sometimes 3.
