Switch from PS to get RB?

[djgreeny]

So I've been playing poker online for almost a year now and exclusively on Pokerstars just because it was the one I heard about most when I made my first deposit. I've already collected my deposit bonus and now I feel like I would build my bankroll faster if I used a site that had a rakeback program. I usually play 10 or 25 nl and 4 table about 10-15 hours per week. I'm mainly trying to build my bankroll so I can move up to higher limits. Would I be an idiot to continue playing on PS? Can anyone recommend a site? What are the major differences between them? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Are you American?

Ipoker has a sweet 30% rakeback deal if you're not. For Americans, bodog and sportsbook poker are the best choice. The games are ulta-soft and you can get rakeback and a deposit bonus on bodog. Full Tilt Poker has rakeback and a deposit bonus as well, but the games aren't as good (they're still very good) and the customer support is TERRIbLE.

All of the Cake network has 33% rakeback. I've been playing on Cake for about 7 weeks now, playing 20NL and I've gotten about $150 in rakeback. The only disadvantage is that HEM and PT don't work on it. If you want the complete package, go FTP or Absolute. Both have great rakebacks and both support HEM and PT.

There's 50% rakeback deals (with deposit bonus) available for iPoker...

Anyway, anyone saying that FTP games are not good is just playin crazy. They are like 100x better than at iPoker and you have a lot of tables to table select. I agree with their support tho, have contacted them 2 times (with very simple requests) and it took them ages to answer.

Lol wtf u have to be kidding, the games at ipoker are the softest like anywhere up to the highest stakes. My own coach refuses to play on any other site until ipoker dries up because there are total donks right up to 1kNL.

I play on Full Tilt and like it pretty good. I liked Stars better but rakeback is da bomb. Definitely go anywhere that offers rakeback. It's huge.

But after Poker Stars, I like Full Tilt best. I've also played Cake. The software/graphics etc just aren't on the same level as PS or FT. I think PS and FT are the industry leaders. As far as fishy games, at the micros, I'm sure it's the same crazy players everywhere.

Oh, yeah, HUDs are allowed at Full Tilt of course but not at Cake. Don't know about iPoker.
