At pokerstars, about half of the fast 25NL tables have plrs/flop percentage lower than 20%. At fulltilt only 25-30% of the tables have lower than 20% plrs/flop, and not a single one with less than 15%. I'm considering playing at fulltilt for a while and clearing my bonus, because currently at Pokerstars the tables are full of 20bb shortstackers, which makes playing not too interesting. I understand at fulltilt the minimum stack is 35bb?

Play wherever you feel you have the biggest edge. If you feel comfortable on FTP go for it. Personally I like Stars because of the exemplary support staff. If you are wondering why your deposits are not going through, your cashouts are not being processed, or your cheques are bouncing, FTP will take a lifetime to get back to you.

My main issue with FTP was the fact that they were supposed to cash out 1k for me instead they took it out of my account and never sent me a cheque and then about 2 months later I get an e-mail saying my account has been credited with $1000.00

I get doomswitched and end up cashing out like $500 playing NL25 with a 1K roll (40BI). I wanted to put that $1k on stars regardless and I don't think I will ever play at FTP again.

I haven't had any issues with FTP and I like it, but my goal is to play enough to get the better rewards at stars either way

Both sites are questionable at times but Stars is #1 & FTP #2 so it doesnt really matter in the end bcuz they both have action.

straddling both sites on off peak times to donkpatrol will always be +EV, but I just want that SN soooo bad

I am trying my best to get up to Goldstar I was pretty close thsi month but I dont think I have enough time to make it to Gold

I work FT and only play like 10 hrs/week not enough to maintain a solid VIP status.

How exactly do the sites calculate the percentage, and what's the difference between the two sites?

Why does it even matter? Play on the site that you like the software the best or feel you have a better edge. There's always a debate with where to play, I look at it like this

Pstars- great tourneys, so so cash games above micros, no rake on pots under 1.00$, stellar rewards and vip system

Fulltilt- so so tourneys, great cash games, raked no matter what the pot ism, rakeback if you can get it

I've been playing at fulltilt when I have a chance but I'm gonna start at stars shortly for the micros and if I get to nl100 ill head back to ftp
