Hi all, long time lurker, first timer poster! 
Basically, in a nutshell, would you recommend I play on Party or FT @ 50nl, with a view to moving up to 100nl asap?
Is Party REALLY softer than the USD sites? And if so, does the general softness of the site compensate for the lack of rakeback?
I'm torn - the 100% bonus up to $600 dollar first deposit bonus on FT looks appealing, or is it not really worth the bother?
I'd love to hear from both euro/us full ring players on this. I anticipate someone will say 'Just try them both and see for yourself!' but there must be some wisdom on the subject.

I'd go FT.
The RB + bonus is better IMO. Plus FT's software is far better.

K I don't play on either of those networks but why not just go FT until the bonus clears, then check out party to see what you think?

That's what I did...only I stopped in at UB along the way.
I still like FT, and might go back there eventually...

Being an European player, why not playing on sites where you have fish and bonus (i.e. iPoker and Ongame)?

great advice. FT has the benefit of loads of tables action all the time. Other networks less so. Bonus is good to clear, rakeback is nice. PM me if you want a referral to a rakeback provider...
other sites you should look at for bonuses include empire (party skin) and everest in the short term, loads of others longer term.
Basically you want to figure out which site gives the combination of bonus+rakeback+player quality+game availability that maximises your earnings...
If you anticipate moving money around, i suggest getting a neteller account in US$, otherwise you'll get stung for currency conversion and maybe even transactions...

To be honest, i haven't heard anything positive or negative about ongame or ipoker before, so i hadn't even considered them.
It sounds like the full tilt bonus is worth clearing first, so i'll give it a shot first.
Thanks again!

cuz the players all had downs when i played there, and there was a fat reload bonus on one skin every month.

if you arent playing on the ongame network you are burning money, unless volume is what you want in which case move to stars or ftp.

I only ever 4-table, so volume isn't my thing at all. There's no rakeback on Ongame, i've noticed. Does it matter much to you at your stakes?
... And you're a fellow UK player I notice.
