Decided today to leave stars for awhile. Gonna give fulltilt a go. Have been silver star there since i began playing poker agin a year or so ago and the rewards for time spent are pretty horrible. Other then the fpp no bonuses nor deposit bonuses ever come my way. Filltilt and partypoker seem to have some nice offers for me whenever i log in. Play throughs are a little ruff but its more then what stars has ever offerd. Fulltilts poker app is prettttttty horrible and game selection for sngs is slim to none lol 6max single tables about all they offer so gonna be a hudge change from the games i like to play. Figured id share my journey and will stay there a minimum a month or so and see of i can handle the change . Itll mean losing my status on stars but as said above they dont give me anything for maintaining it anyways . Goodluck at the tables yall ill reply back here in a day or two and letchaz know any progress
------------ Gonna be hard to maintain i think. Jist started on 2.50$ sng d come to find out there all super turbos 10bb start lol.....o welll its only a month lol be hypering if for a little i guess

the playing field at tilt is usually a lot smaller then stars, so you might be able to make some money in the tourneys. i like the flip tourneys with the guaranteed prize pools. you can have up to 3 entries. good luck playing at tilt.

Problem is i play probably 95% of time on my tablet and the game selection isnext to none on the app. Gonna gove it a go on fulltilt ive play alot of hypers and can play as low as 0.50$ games so can manage the swings. Im gonna giver a go if its not panning out may try some smaller rooms as well and see if i can find a place i like. I like pokerstars but dont think they offer there players very much and if im gonna deposit and spend lots of time playing i may as well reik the rewards thats offerd from the smaller sites

Stars is crap when it comes to rewarding the rake played, but players base is best and also Stars is very easy to make money especially on sng/mtt its donk as hell
But true rakeback on other sites is far better but sometimes hard to multi table.

Id have lots of selection if i could sit infronta computer lol but with the kids the tablet is just easier. Party pokers app is probably second best offering all selection of games now but dont like it there and hard to get games started for the most part. Just tried 888 but once agin selection is very low. After fulltilt i may give party another go since they updated there app and selection is pretty good. Plus i got another 100% upto 200$ bonus there so itll give me something worth playing for

Accotding to you previous post you are mostly an SNG player. If its the case you wont find enough traffic on full tilt or party to play to many SNG. However if you want to play cash game then both will give you the chance to play anytime you want.

I always find it interesting as to the cause of people selection of poker sites. The most recent interesting issue is the development of the mobile app for sites. It is clear that one site is WAY ahead of the others in terms of their mobile offering and that while others continue to try and keep up, many are lagging behind in terms of functionality and offer. It surprises me that FTP (the subject of this thread) is so far behind its partner company!

damn i wanted full tilt to become my port of call, but the low amount of players, especially on such games as omaha hi/lo, stud hi/lo is pretty close to non-existent... so i had to do a reality check and stay with stars. and yeah stars mobile app is waaaay the best in the field. hope others catch up in some time.

Ive been in contact with fulltilt over the last yesr probably 4-5 times and yesterday as well. They plan on working on there app but not in the near future lol :/ . As much as i dont like party poker (mainly just the cheap look of tables and layouts on app) they just added tourney selection plus freerolls/point tourneys to there selection. So after fulltilt ill slide over there and see if any of there scheduled tourneys work with my times. Also there 20-50point freerolls are reallly good imo with less then 500ppl ussually and nice payouts so thats some added incentive there. Goodluck at the tables

Try 888poker also. Many members here playing there and we keep seeing the freerolls they run, that are good ones. It is a bog site also, so it wont be that hard find the tables you like. Are you looking for a site with like phone application? Cause i see you are keep talking about app...

change is sometimes good full-tilt has amazing tournaments with reasonable field of players but i know you don't like to sit and play for hours hope you can find some turbo games that suit your style 26$ is great for just couple hours you have been on a good run lately ... best of luck in your poker journey and good luck with your course ..

There really is no comparison when it comes down to games offered, traffic o nsite daily, and best poker experience. PS is the only choice in my bokos as they have been around as long as anyone else and are by far the best rep on the net for game play. And all the technical issues that PP and Fulltilt seem to run into is not worth the hassle of changing. Just my opinion though.

Just a little update. Have only played about 4-5hours on tilt since i switched over. Mainly because of the course im taking but am up a little over 45$ so far. Which is great. I find the competition a hell of alot softer at fulltilt also the spin n gos play alot differnt not nearly as much bingo play as pokerstars. Sticking between 2.50-5$ maily with the odd 5-10$ spins for now. If i keep seeing gains i may stick around awhile but do miss stars tourney and sng selection for sure

Its very good for you if you found a site that suit you better than PS in the winning difference hoever i see that you are playing the jackpot version of spin & go just take care cause they are the same kind of game and variance is also on tilt. By the way what kind of equipment course are you taking.
. Itll mean losing my status on stars but as said above they dont give me anything for maintaining it anyways 
. Goodluck at the tables yall ill reply back here in a day or two and letchaz know any progress
