Which site do you guys prefer for MTT's? I think there is no doubt that Stars has the sheer volume over Tilt. In fact I dropped some money on Stars with the intent on playing some of their MTT's.

However I'm starting to wonder if Tilt is actually the better deal? They run several guarantee MTT's a day which are the ones I look to play. I like having that guar prize pool and if more people enter then so be it. But along with this Tilts fields in general seem to be smaller. I played a Stars $11 bi, $40k guar yesterday that had 9287 runners. That is a huge field to try and navigate thru.

It is like that quite a bit on Stars. The smaller $20 and under bi MTT's always seem to have 3000 plus runners.

So what do you guys think is the better value?

play both?

stars, tilt i just run bad on and think i play worse on cuz of not as good multitabling/structure/layout.

True. I just wondered what you guys thought was the best value.

both

both. for low stakes the $26 guarantees on ftp are the nuts, but then you have the 3rs, 5rs, and 11s that are awesome on stars....this trend continues up to high stakes, so play both

both, LDO

If you have to choose, go with Stars. Not that close really.

FT has a better payout structure imo, Stars pays too many players

To be honest although Stars runs more tournaments, runs better tournaments etc, its often you find yourself playing in a similiar buyin tournament on stars and full tilt, stars has more runners and higher guarantee, but your playing for more in Full Tilt.

imo the money is too spread out in Stars, although I still play there because the fields are a touch softer and the opportunity to play much better tournaments in my timezone appeals to me

hes right and is essentially saying to play both sites

tl;dr
play on both!

ur playing $11 buy ins and ur asking which is the best value, have u realised yet that almost everyone who plays those games are horrific as standard..... value is usually the other 8 seats at teh table

Stars has some guaranteed tourneys that almost always fill over capacity and exceed their guarantee as far as the prize pool goes. I don't play on FTP that much but I am signing up soon and have been researching it so that I get rakeback and any other promotional things that a new player will get by signing up.

As far as preferring rakeback (FTP) vs. the FPP awarded (Stars); I think you have to give it hands down to Full Tilt. I like the thought of guaranteed money coming into my account (27% rakeback) whereas with Stars you have to play it and win Tourney $ to redeem your FPPs. I think you can substantially curb your variance (especially experiencing the downside of variance) just be getting a certain amount of your buy-in/rake returned to you.

Would you rather have sex with Jessica Alba or Margaret Thatcher?

LOL...yer funny but I'm confused. Which one is Margaret Thatcher and which is Jessica Alba?

The point is they are both hot, just in their own ways. I would do them both, just like I play on Stars and Tilt.

pghfan on weird metaphors ITT

seriously tho OP, just play on both, ez game

Depends on your BR if you play more 2,3,4,5-10 dollar tournies Stars. If you have a bigger roll and play the 24+2's tilt. thats a big jump in rolls though.

i hate how stars goes from the 200-400 level to 300-600 with no increment in between. I think thats why I do so much better on FTP, better structures.

I prefer stars structure

wut

I love it when the blinds get enormous on Stars.

Meh, average stack size seems to increase a towards late stages but that 200-400 jump to 300-600 is torture IMO.

Most tournieson Stars have the 250/500 level now.

Cake poker...hands down
