So I have over $600 in my pstars account. I'm playing 25nl. Should I move it over to full tilt for the bonus/rakeback or keep it in stars? I'm used to stars and have a decent fish list I can scout out before I play. So what would be the best thing to do?

wait till u have 1k, then ship 400 over to tilt IMO
it all depends on how you got that br and whut u specialize in. If u love toruneys, stay on stars

I haven't been there done that. But I did switch a small amount of my br from Stars to FT. My thought would be this. You want to maximize your $600 bonus right? Would that be easier to do by putting $600 on there or more? I think the more you put on, the easier/faster it's going to be to knock out the bonus (ofcourse if you play like 50 hrs/week it's not going to matter). So I'd try to build up and move more than the $600, smoke the bonus ez, then ship some of it back and have two decent br's.

What did you start with on pstars. I would prob keep playing until I got 600 over what I deposited then switch the 600 to tilt.

only if you're going to play NL25 there, NL10 is not worth it
if you want I can refer you to a rakeback provider

There is no reason to play 25NL on Stars. You're essentially giving money away. Go to FT, get rakeback, and switch back to Stars when you're playing enough to get a high VIP level. I'm doing exactly this as soon as I clear the last of some bonus I have on there.

Does anyone find Stars fishier than Tilt or Tilt fishier than Stars?
I don't know for certain, but I imagine Tilt would be tighter due to their Rakeback/Bonus clearing rocks.

Haven't played on stars yet but I have had some crazy beats on tilt. Ex earlier before class I was in a 2+.25 SnG and noticing the time I needed to get it all in well it was down to the last 4 and it pays out 3 ways. I wake up with 10s7s in big blind and get a small raise and I call. Flop is As 9c Ks I figure with the raise i'm up against a A or a K but I have the spade draw so I push turn is Qs giving me the flush so I think i'm making payouts and I can let blinds run and go to school well when about to get up I see the river coem and it is a 9h lol what are the chances.

Wow. Well I wasn't expecting so many mixed oppinions on this topic. Anyone know on average how many hands it would take to clear the $600 full tilt bonus for 25nl and/or 50nl ring? I get in about 5000 hands a week. I work full time so I can only play at night and on weekends. My guess is that at that rate I wouldn't be able to clear it in time playing 25nl. What stakes should I wait for to try this?

If there isn't already, which I don't think there is, there needs to be a sticky or digest clearly outlying the pros and cons to this. It's a pretty important concept and if there's a clear cut path to take, I'd like to know. Originally, I was planning to start and stay on Stars because everyone seems to agree it has a good selection of games, good interface, low rake, and good support. Then I heard about Rakeback and planned to go to FullTilt for good once I got enough money to play $25NL or $50NL to clear the bonus and sign-up for Rakeback. Then I read some discussion that FullTilt's rake is so high, that after RakeBack, you're basically at the same rake you'd be with Stars, plus Stars has better support, so then I planned to just stay @ Stars. Now I'm reading that some people think you should start @ Stars, go to FullTilt when you reach $25NL , and then back to Stars when you can reach SuperNova.
So, what's the right answer?  Assuming you want to play exclusively cash games starting from scratch $2NL and planned to be a hot shot successful poker player working your way all the way up to $50/$100 NL? 
Related to the topic, what are the best options for getting money into FullTilt? Is there an easy way to ship money between the two sites or do I have to go through another "deposit money" fiasco? :/
