Is it better to play 10nl at stars instead of ftp?

And why is the stars.fr rake so much higher than the normal stars rake?

if your on stars, at 10NL, and are platinum star, stay. if your not, goto FTP.

How accurate do you think those numbers are? For my main game, 25NL at stars, it's saying $1.59 per 100 hands, or 6bb/100. Last month HEM had me at more like 10bb/100 (and incidentally, I did some math that suggested 50NL would be more like 8bb/100

EDIT: oh, it's full ring, i guess that would explain it perhaps? In which case, what are FR winrates like?

I wouldn't look too closely at specifics, but rather just catch the trends from tables like this.

Well there is always a discussion some where about Rake.

I was thinking to go to an other side because of Rake back, but at the end of the Day. I stick to Stars. Because their Program is Great.

Now my Mindset is free from any Rake Back, which i feel is now much better for me.

But this is my personal opinion.

Beside the rake what do you guys think about the number of 6-max games that are available and which one are fishier when we compare Pstars vs FTP ?

On Stars you pay 5%, on FT you pay 6.67%, but you can get 27% rakeback. So, unless you're putting in mad volume to get platinum VIP on stars, play on FT.

The rake is higher in France because the government slapped a 2% rake on top of what the sites charge and walled off the poker rooms so french people can only play with other french people.
