How many FPPs do you earn in say 1000 hands at 25NL (rough estimate)? What is the cash equivalent for FPPs? I've never deposited on Stars, but I do have rakeback on FT and was just wondering how close they really are.

Probably around 150-200 FPP if you are Bronze star (starting out). At those stakes, Stars wouldn't even come close to the 27% rakeback at Full Tilt.

Can you go wrong with either or? I think it is a matter of personal preference. I have tried both and found the experience of FT to be better. But agree, with the poster who advocated in getting Rakeback

I once was purely pro FT. I have learned to accept Stars. Lately tho, the speed of the sites has shifted to FT. Stars has bogged down, or something. Tilt is moving along as fast as bodog on my system.

PS.....FullTilt looks like kiddie poker cartoonville

I play at PS now, used to play FT. I like PS tourney's & competition much better.

I've found that is a bit high. About 1 FPP per 10 hands which means 100 FPPs for 1,000 hands.

I've done a little digging around for the answer to my question and basically the conclusion of most players is, that unless you're at Super Nova Elite (is that the highest level???) level on Stars, FT with rakeback is better.

I think FullTilt is the way to go.

Play PokerStars to build skill.

Then cash it in at FullTilt.
