    Fulltilt vs Pokerstars..

    I used to play alot of different sites, but in last couple years Ive only played exclusively on Fulltilt nowhere else.. Since Im starting to actually play alot and for decent ammounts of money I was thinkin of settin up a Pokerstars account. Im just wondering if anyone else recently that may have only been playing Fulltilt has swapped or also now plays Pokerstars, and just what you overall think of it compaired to FT..
    Im not sure If i want to do this as i remember not liking PS too much back in the day like 4-5 years ago, but now im different and a much better player and taking poker much more seriously and using it for most of my income these days. So thought giving PS a try "might" be in my best interest. Like sum players run super hot on FT but suck on PS or vice versa.
    Im just seeking anyones opinion on PS compaired to FT,, bads-goods, just anything. Before I decide to give PS a try. And you know like where are the easy games on PS anything like that.. I know that PS has alot more options for games atleast used to. SO just any advice or info on this matter would be helpful.
    I mostly play cash .25-.50 HU and 6max (no full ring games) on fulltilt. And of course quite a bit of tourneys and stuff.. but my BR is limited to under $50 mtts so just wondering what PS has to offer from any of you that know the site really good.
    Any responses thank you for your time..

    their VIP setup is better than rakeback.

    I occasionally play on stars and the interface does nothing but annoy me. I have to click the table a few times before the thing lets me click fold or bet or if I'm busy at another table its sitting there with the time button on wasting away.

    In terms of mtts they have better structures even at low buy ins. I used to hate Stars but if you are playing for profit I don't think you'll care as long as long as you can win.

    TY ALL for the feedback.. Im interested in that APP chronic.. what exactly is that is it like a progressive rakeback? thats kinda what it seemed like, just wondering exactly how it works and shiit.. and what all its for?
    But the way its sounding is that nobody really likes PS and if you look at a player like Kennl, he is an absolute beast on Fulltilt #1 ranked player.. and on PS he has a -ROI.. Some of that shit just dont make any sense.. cuz like what was said the good players should be able to win on any site (which i believe is true) but just take kennl for instance.. how do you go from #1player on one site to a negative ROI on the other..
    And what exactly was better about the tourney structures "even at low limits" that was said up top? Do they have better or longer blind structures or sumthing.. thats what id really be interested in is more tourneys wiht 15-30min blind levels.. or earlier or later ante kick ins...
    But thanks for the feedback i might check it out but not sure..

    generally, stars sngs are faster (both in timing of blinds and in jumps in the structure not to mention there are also antes)
