Default Need Pro advise (Post legislative pokering)!

Hey guys,
I try not to bother with a too long bio or unnecessary [censored] so here is the short thing:

I switched over from FL to NL in dec 06 and improving quickly, hope to hit nl600 in end of march and plan to take the higher limits soon there after (no new Aba but hopefully doing good soon, too).
Anyways, I live in Germany and got access to Neteller, Partypoker and all other sites.. (hate me, hah!)

I am currently exclusively grinding Pokerstars and I am very happy with support, software and traffic. Nonetheless the games are by far toughter than on most sites on the web. Additionally, it's around 7-8pm here when Party reaches its biggest traffic of the day (pokersitescout).

Would awesome players such as BLdSWtTRs, EM, CTS and others still play on Party? I mean the site is smaller than it used to be but on the other hand you guys are banned and the good scandinavian player are playing highlimits on ftp or prima networks anyways.. So what would you advise me towards choosing the best path for my gaming career? I could grind the PP over the day and PS in the night.. But I feel I can improve a lot quicker on Stars cuz it's toughter.. eventho my earnrate will be lower.. What guys would you do and which site would you play NL5/10+ on ?
Thanks for your time and effort.

Playing well against good players and playing well against poor players are completely different skill sets.

I used to be a Protoss player, those upgrades aren't available for my forces..

Well I would love to find the best mix of improving quickly and having a good earn rate.. Partypoker is so weird.. ppl still limp on 3/6 and above in 6max games on the button. Feels like Stars players are a few years ahead on the same limits. Nonetheless learning how to beat retards won't help me to beat higher limits.. So it's basically a balance-question.. is it worth grinding PP for a better earnrate but at the same time improve slower skillwise.. or should I dedicate my grinding on tougher tables with a smaller expected earnrate but quicker skill improvements?

Outstanding players such as BLdSTtWs might have played on other sites to become as good as they are, and played PP mainly because 5/10 and 10/20 was full of money spewing monkeys.. Just curious which way those great players would advocate..

Thanks for support, I appreciate it.

Do a mix and you should eventually learn to adapt to both games.

Its not going to be easy but you'll get to see poker from all the angles
