I can't decide between using FullTilt or PokerStars, what do you guys think?
Toss a coin.
Seriously, they're both great sites. Have a look around both and see which you prefer. I prefer PS. Others prefer FTP. I prefer a nice tight (lady's) arse to a cracking pair of tits. Others would disagree strongly. I prefer tea to coffee.
FTP has rakeback at RakeBackPros. Very nice.
Most important question is: What stakes are you playing at? FTP is like being raped by a cactus covered in sharp glass and hot sauce if you're playing Micros, but is very lucrative at midstakes and up.

See this post for other considerations including bonuses and rakeback.
With rakeback at FTP, it's only worse by 1-2% than Stars with Bronze Star because PokerStars raised their micro rake too.Quote:

Email FTP, ask nicely, they'll say no or maybe or we'll put you on a list. Then 1mo to many many mos later, they will send you an email saying you've been approved to get rb thru rakebackpros. That's what I did. Thousands of others have done the same.Quote:

I'm pretty sure if you signed up thru an affiliate there's no hope, but if you signed up directly there is. of course you can just search it, this is a well-discussed subject.
I would go with Full Tilt Poker
pokerstars software is way better
