25nl: Full Tilt or Stars?

#1 23rd April 2009, 5:20 AM

Which is better for a 25nl player to play at? I just moved up and I'm pretty sure my account at tilt is already attached to raketherake.com so getting rakeback shouldn't be an issue.

Is the rakeback worth moving my roll over to tilt instead of player pokerstars with the VIP program? probably gonna put in enough volume over the summer for gold star if i stay on stars.

FT and probably by a long shot. I didnt have rakeback when I was at 25nl but I would imagine you will be getting a lot of it. How much you pay in a given time period in rake and how many points do you earn in the same period(assume Gold status)?

FTP. RB basically adds 1PTBB/100 at that level. I don't think that Stars points would even be close below SN.

Someone can certainly correct me if they think I am wrong...but I would strongly recommend Stars for the 25NL.

I think the much looser play on Stars 25NL more than makes up for the somewhat smaller rake at this level.

In 15 hours I think the $20 or so rake (less than $6 in rakeback) can definately be made up at PokerStars

PS In case you are wondering, my experience is that PS is much more loose at the lower levels in both NL and LHE cash games

I think ive decided to go with tilt if i can get rakeback added.

I've emailed them and im on a list for rakeback so im waiting for that. Anyone whos gotten it have tips on getting RB faster?

I dont like to play cash game on PS !! I just like to play tournaments there ... So Full Tilt is my favorite option specially because i don`t get a lot of bad beats !

I would chose Stars.

I had a bad day on Full Tilt.
I had 2 pairs => allin The opponent had 1...but got an other one on river, of course he had stronger

Another: I had JJ in hand...flop was full of low cards => allin
The opponent got a flush on river
