Cash Games: FT vs PS

[Invigilator]

I have played almost exclusively on Stars since I got started. I am considering transfering the majority of my bankroll over to Fulltilt.

My major influences are the ability to data mine with PT and also using the HUD to identify tables that have more losing players at them.

1. Do you think these are adequate advantages?
2. Are there other considerations I should take into account?

TP, I'd especially like your thoughts on this, as I learned the PT and HUD features described watching your vids.

I can't comment on the quality of play between Stars and Full Tilt, but for the points you are valuing, the choice is VERY CLEAR that you should move to Full Tilt.

1. They have a sweet first deposit bonus that clears in increments - this is a great way to help build your roll.
2. Dataming/table selection is much easier, and good table selection = $$$.
3. I personally prefer the FT interface better than Stars', especially when you factor in the use of Full Tilt Shortcuts. I'm sure there are people who disagree with me on this though.
4. Hello, . This one is more than enough reason alone for you to make the switch, IMO. 27% rakeback at the limits you are talking about can and will account for a large percentage of your monthly net win.

On the flip side: Reasons why Stars is better than Full Tilt:

-The other side of the datamining thing (no one can datamine you, but since you will be in the datamining group, this doesn't apply to you).
-Stars has much better support. However much you value this is a personal thing... to me, it doesn't translate directly into $$, so it doesn't matter to me. And even though FT has been a pain to deal with at times, they have ALWAYS done the right thing for me in the end.

That's really all I can think of. Stars may have better tourneys or SNGs or whatever (I don't know), but again - responding to the points you specifically asked about, the choice is clear - Move over to Full Tilt.

And remember, no one said you can't play at Stars and more. If they offer you a nice bonus, go get it. But I'd definitely recommend switching the majority of your play to Full Tilt.

P.S. Sorry I missed your original post last night... didn't even see it until just now for some reason.

Invig, what levels are you playing at? Around $50NL and $25NL? IMO, the play at Stars is weaker/worse than Tilt at those levels.

[Invigilator]

It is mostly $25 max. The data mining to find softer tables and the bonuses are making it prettay attractive though.
