I have just blown my Full Tilt bankroll again and am unsure of what to do. I love the FT layout, the players are mostly ok and I have made a few good friends there. Luck-wise though, i'm out in the cold! I've deposited around $1500 in the last 12 months and have never really had a decent win. Nothing over $200 anyway.
Now the money isn't really significant, I play because I enjoy the game and dont lose more than I can afford. However, I am thinking about making my next $100 deposit on stars for a change of scenery and because it's said to be softer than Tilt.I've had a look on the lobby and I hate the lay-out though, I cant get to grips with the site and dont really enjoy the tables as much (play money).
Should I stick to tilt for my rakeback? Or move to Stars for the welcome bonus? Or stick $50 in each? lol.
My games are $1 - $10 hold em, and $2 -$6 omaha high SnG's, along with low stakes cash games and the occasional mid range MTT or huge ones if I satellite my way in. Any comments?

I'm kinda tempted to do both. Does Stars have knockout/killer tournaments like tilt? Been enjoying the $3 and $6 games on Full Tilt, and the matrix games are always a laugh.

For me, i just can't play pokerstars.. The layout is aweful and its just so confusing. I prefer Full Tilt by far.. I suggest depositing most with Full Tilt and perhaps making a min. deposit on PokerStars..

This is accurate. But you shouldn't avoid pokerstars. You should deposit 50 on stars, clear it by playing $1 games, and at the same time play freerolls on full tilt to build back up.

You've lost $1500 in the last 12 months? Perhaps you should put that money into the stock market instead. :D

It is funny you say you prefer the layout at FT and can't get used to Pokerstars. I am the opposite. I have twice the bankroll at FT but play 90% of my games at Pokerstars because I hate the FT layout. Their tournament lobby tilts the hell out of me - looking for a good game is a nightmare.

Pokerstars is easy to read and it is so easy to find the kind or tournament you are looking for.

yeah I feel that ft is a little slow paced almost like playing facebook hold em. Poker stars is a little more upbeat and they have those double or nothing games for a $1 to about $100 just gotta place top 5 thats easy I see people sit out the whole game and make it pisses me off but what the hell

I prefer Full Tilt i dont like PokersJoke!
My oppinium is that 2 different room many good MTT, SnG etc.
Try 2 room with 100$.
Play room if you feel good and your poker quality enough cash, mtt, HeadsUp etc.
Maybe you made bad, bad play, bad bankroll management or etc. Tilt!!
Learn more poker play.

Thanks for the feedback. I've done both. Reloaded on Tilt and stuck $25 in Stars. Not used any yet though, but the double games look pretty good. Not seen those on Tilt, have they never run them? I'm gonna play a lot tighter on stars, had a bad run on tilt before I started taking Bankroll management seriously, so hoping i'll grind a few dollars out slowly within my limits. Cheers guys n girls!
