every site has its downside ,but places like will hill,paddy power,betfred etc fulfill most of those requirements (software is irksome but new software due out in january , together with their own money grab (oops , i mean reallocation of rake from winners to losers ) . |

that may be the case when you are well up the stakes and VIP structure.Those at the bottom pay through the nose for those features. Whats worse is that with the intended rake % cuts that stars were proposing it actually meant a rake hike for those poor sods playing 2 and 5nl on some pot sizes. Rake cuts only actually kick in with pots above $0.59 |

I would gladly pay this price. It isn't like this rake isn't beatable...... | |

Why would beginner's play Stars? |

I have no clue why beginners would play stars. My find who I introduced to poker last year grinded up from 20$ to 250$ in about a year playing off and on on stars. When he switched to the poker site I have moved to he tripled his bankroll in 2 weeks running like dog shit due to the huge overlay tournies + other promotions. |

I would check the rake that you are initially paying on the site you play on, as at certain stakes it could make quite a difference. | |

lets compare like with like though ? 55% deals are available for micro players rather than 40% that you are quoting if you know where to look, compared to the 10-15% that micro players get with stars bronze/silver. |

Yes, I agree that if you can get a 55% rakeback deal at another site, you would be much better off. I was just pointing out that just because two sites specify 5% rake (or whatever), this does not necessarily mean that you are paying the same amount of rake for each pot. | |

Best game selection, software and customer service by a mile. And how about the most important issue of them all: prompt cashouts and a good feeling of security regarding the money in your account. | |

I'll give you best software, but ipoker have lots of sportsbook fish to play against so theres plenty of game selection. Customer service - ipoker client has a live chat facility and phone numbers to ring support so in my opinion thats better at ipoker than stars email only service. |

uk evenings are definately busier and 6max is far more popular at euro sites than fr . probably because its contributed rake rather than stars dealt rake was. Lots of FR would have stayed at stars long term because they could mutlitable ,dealt rake and gets lot of bonus. I guess at least 50% of stars players probably don't even realise that the points have changed from dealt to contributed. |

Hmmm, what good is the ability to play tables when there's only 6 available? | |

As for table availabilty, I've been playing uk 9pm or later and there is plenty of choice of tables at 20nl. earlier than that the tables have been a lot less.Tables also seem to be pretty much 6max orientated , but that suits me fine. |
