It depends really, but as a general recommendation you can't go wrong with Stars.

Because you are new to the game Stars will be harder for you (always is) however as a result you will learn the game at a quicker pace.

I vote for FTP. But I would try other rooms, like rooms of Ipoker, Merge network. ;)

For me better is pokerstars because there are freerolls good for beginnners and a lot of micro tournaments for example for 0,1$ or 0,25$. At FTP is regional freeroll to your country with prize pool about 100$. If you win some $$ at FTP you can transfer it to Pokerstars.

If you want to learn to play poker risk free then I believe FTP is better for you as they have a lot of freerolls and country based freerolls with smaller fields.

PS is also a good site for freerolls, GL @ the tables :)

Wish I had a choice....

Back when I did have a choice, I preferred Full Tilt - for two reasons. One was because I usually play on a netbook computer, and the FT software full-screen actually filled the entire screen. PS did not. The 2nd reason was it seemed players were disconnected much more frequently on PS, which slowed games down. That may not have been PS's fault, but it did annoy me.

Now, I prefer PS because they weren't the ones that stole my money, then promised to pay it back, and they still haven't, more than 2 years later.

There's way,way more players on Stars than Tilt. The play is softer on Tilt, but it can get really hard to find players in all levels of games at most hours of the day, except for weekends.

If you want a wide selection of games PS is the place. I personally prefer FTP software but there are too few people playing PLO cash games there so I play on Stars instead.

play on both and after awhlle you will prefer one over the other...i personally like both sites, i usually play all the cash games on stars since there are more tables but then i play games like 10-game, 8-game, horse on FT because i think the site looks nicer therefore more enjoyable....stars is abit bland visually but the gameplay is perfect as is full tilt...

It depends on what game you are playing.

Fulltilt has nowhere near the volume of players as Stars does.

Pre-BlackFriday (~ <2011) I would pick Fulltilt. but post BF I would pick Pokerstars ainec (again though... it depends on what you're hoping/looking to play)


Also, for someone who's only been playing for 2mos., I'd consider playing on somewhere like 888Poker. micro buyin cash game on 888Poker is so incredibly soft (ie. full of really bad players) that it'd be hard not to win or be breakeven. (obviously the lowest buyins on any site have alot of bad players in them but I think 888 has wayyyy more).

You can play a lot of poker on both without despositing. So download both and play on both for a couple of months and see which one suits you better.

I pick PS since it makes me more relax so I could concentrate. FTP sometimes make me go on tilt.

even though FTP banned my chat and i hate it in some ways, i still play there cause i like playing there, the software is cool and i like the cartoon silly avatars, both are great sites, i would just add that Stars has more traffic and FTP sometimes has no action on razz or other not as popular of games, FTP i also notice the competition is slightly weaker at times but then again you can bumhunt on Stars as well just easier to do it on FTP

You need to customise your table Alfie. Actually I shouldn't talk, I been meaning to create a custom table on stars for a while and haven't done it yet.

To the OP, stars has a much larger player pool. Go with them.
