u know pharreal which ever one u play on first is the one u will usually think is better, cos ur used to it.
anyway the only reason there is a need to go to another site is if u want to clear a signup bonus or get a rakeback account cos u dont have one, or if ur playing mtts. if ur an mtt player then having a tilt and stars account is a good idea cos that increases the amount of playable tourneys significantly. if ur playing sngs, especially 6/9 man ones then there is no need to go to stars unless u just wanna clear the signup bonus. ive been on full tilt for ages and signed up for stars when i was playing mtts but now im back to sngs i never use it and basically just have money sitting there.
I like Pokerstars just a little better then FTP. Software on both sites is very good. If you have rakeback on FTP the perks are similar to Pokestars. A couple issues I have with FTP right now is cashing out, I have had several checks sent to me that were voided. And I had to make repeat cashout requests. FTP did give me $100 dollars each time this has happened. But still sucks. And emailing support usually takes them a day to get back to ya. So if you had an issue that needed attention ASAP, you would be screwed. Pokerstars is very quick to respond to emails and I have never had any problems with cashing checks from them.
If you decide to play on Pokerstars I would still set up an account at FTP through a rakeback site. Once you set it up, its good forever. And you'll always have it incase you ever decide to play there in the future. Same with any other site you play at except Pokerstars whitch does not have rakeback, but does have a very good VIP program.
i've played on tons of sites, i can safely say that stars is the best. if you are a low stakes player and low volume then you might want a different site for better RB
When I play on 2 sites at the same time I find I can't play as many tables as I can just playing 1 site. So I like to just play 1 site at a time and maximize my hourly rate by getting in more tables.
i recommend it for multiple reasons.
1. i want a chance to take your money.
2. stars is better than tilt (serious)
