For a guy trying to learn the ropes, do you guys recommend Full Tilt or Poker Stars? I'm on Tilt right now, but if you guys say PS is way better, then I'll think of switching.
This is just my limited experience about both sites here but:

I find that Tilt is great for tourn play.... Especially the lower lever MTT's. My favorite tourn is the 3+.30 90 player knockout tourney. You start with double stack and plenty of players that will go all in with marginal hands at best. I have not had much luck in the cash games there. Poker Stars I have had good luck so far in cash games (which basically means I made up what I lost in the SnG's and am now back even)

Another thing I have been trying latley is to do the 4$ SnG or the 8$ MTT (18 players) on Tilt that wins the $26 token. (I like the $8 better because the top 5 get the token and 6th gets $10 where the $4 one 1st gets token and 2nd gets $6 I think)) Then I take that into the $24+2 90 player knockout. You get $4 for everyone you knock out so if you can knock out 2-3 players (even if you don't final table) you got your $4-8 buy in back (to start this process over again) plus 1st place takes $500+ and 9th takes like $45. It can be dangerous to your stack but profitable if done with discipline and patience. Keep in mind that this was going great when I was winning the token in like every tourney I play but just sucked my BR down when I would lose a few in a row.

There is also a $6 token torun 18 players where top 4 get token and 5th takes $10)
