    Default Ready to move ... where to go?

    Spent a bunch of time and am comfortable playing .50/1.00 limit at Poker Stars. Kept of few hundred in my account and transferred 500 to my wife's account so she can bonus whore at the party skins. I wanted to wait until I grinded(sp?) up to 800BB at .50/1.00 so that when I gave, I mean borrowed, 500 to my wife, that I still had 300BB to keep playing .50/1.00. I like playing at Stars and am comfortable there. I like the FPP's.

    I'm ready to try moving up to $1/$2 having 400BB in my bankroll. My question is ... Should I go to the one of the Party skins and play because of the talk of softer games, or do I play at Stars where I believe the games are tougher and I can keep working toward that jacket, I think it's 10,000 FPPs?

    I didn't want this to come across that the FPP's are a big deal. I want to play at the place that is most beneficial as far as making money goes. If my BB/100 are going to be the same at any site on the average anyway, I might as well play at a site where the FPP's can get something back in return. I don't think there is any merchadise that you can get with Party points, or is there? Anyway, you understand the idea of the question. Where should I play? I whole hearted believe that "Making Money Is Fun", and I just want to know what to do next to have the most fun.

    in terms of juiciest games from softest to tightest i think...

    pacific (only one table though, so that kinda sucks)
    party
    prima
    absolute
    stars
    ultimatebet

    Cool that's what I was looking for. I never played at Pacific, that sounds a good place to go. I've played at the other 5 and I would've won the lottery, because I would've put those 5 in the same order that you did. I think I would only play one table going up in limits anyway so that might not be a bad thing. Sounds like a good thing for me would be to go to Pacific and work off a bonus, if there is any, at the .50/$1.00 table and then try $1/$2 there. Thanks a bunch.

    If you dont have $400 dont go to pacific, b/c you wont get their full bonus. Stay at Stars until you have $400, then goto Pacific, then Go to PokerRoom, which I would put right after party on the juiciest list. Stay away from Party Poker until you have enough to clear their full bonuses too.

    yes you'll want to take full advantage of bonuses....the prima networks give you max bonuses with a $100 deposit

    Thanks. I was just looking at that. I'll have to get some of my loan back from the boss' account (wife). Yep, hyper, I know you meant $400 instead or $100. Looks like it takes either quite awhile to get the bonus, or you get it right away.

    Thanks.
