If you were going to make a deposit to be properly BR to play 6-Max $10NL, where would you put your money? I'm a US player, so the options are limited. Also, I've already played on Stars, so I would not get a chance at the bonus there. Thanks guys. Steer me in the right direction.

go clear bonuses
full tilt has a 600 dollar bonus, and you can also sign up for rakeback (although as I understand it you won't start getting rakeback until you clear the bonus)
also other sites like cake, but I haven't tried them out yet, clearing my 600 dollar bonus on tilt at the moment

FTR - you still get RB as you are clearing bonus at FT. It does come off of your RB though so while you are clearing bonus your RB will be less.

I didn't understand it completely so I assumed it would be less your bonus amount, but I guess I'll still get something for august?

play on stars until your roll reaches $600. You only get one chance at the first deposit bonus on Full Tilt, so you want to max it out (100% up to $600). When you have $600, go to Full Tilt and get an easy $600.
After that, ask again for other options.
Also, whatever you do - do not sign up at Full Tilt without rakeback! pm me if you want more info.

I'd check Bodog. They've recently been offering a 100% reload bonus and a 10% instant bonus. I don't know details.
They also have player points that you can convert to cash.
Good luck!

Stay at stars until you play $100NL. The $600 wont clear in time on FT at any less stakes, or it takes forever. Get FPP's, grind levels and make money. The 215FPP sats are gold

OK, so I'm hearing that there's no particular advantage (fish content) to sites other than Stars. Right?
Also, please elaborate on what "The 215FPP sats are gold" means.

i think that this means that you can use the FPPs you get for playing at stars to enter satellites (215FPP buy-ins) where the prizes are entries into higher buy-in tournaments. The play in these satellites is supposed to be pretty poor, and when you win a seat you can choose not to enter, but instead sell/convert the T$ you win to cash in your stars bankroll - another way to accelerate poker bankroll growth...

yea, they are entries into the $100grand ($11) . I had 5K FPP's and played 23 215FPPs and placed in 18. That works out to 18 x $11=$198 in FPP bonus. They are easy as pie, double once and make no real attempt to lose and you can win a ton. sell the Entries back to T$ and get an FTR'r to buy them straight up, plenty of guys will, and if not there are sites that give like 98%.
