Default $600 - where to put it

So far I have only played on Pokerstars with my internet money, and a very little bit with Party Poker. I will have $600 on Neteller tho as i make my first deposit and was wondering where u guys would recommend putting my $.

I was orignally just going to put it all on Stars, and they said even tho I'm a few days late i could still get the 20% Bonus.

Do you guys think i should spread the $ out elsewhere tho to other sites who have even bigger bonuses ?

Default Maximum value

I’d imagine you’d get the most value by putting the entire amount on Stars to maximize their generous bonus. With that bankroll, you can easily play 3/6 and clear it fairly quickly. After that, you may want to try Full Tilt. I don’t have any personal experience there, but am hearing good things in general.

Party remains my bread and butter site, but from a bonus whoring perspective, they have tightened up considerably.

If you have the chance to put your money on stars for a bonus... That is your #1 choice...

Stars is ahead of Party right now...

I can't tell you why... But believe me...
Right now, PokerStars is where you want to put your money.
You reeeeeeaaaallllly want to start accumulating your FPP points there too.
Don't waste them on merchandise, or FPP tourneys... Just bank them.

If you follow that advice, you will thank me in a few months.

(The advice given in this post should count as quality post # 4 and #5.)

I'm not limiting my deposits to stars and party - i would consider depositng on any site u all recommend

You think i should go for a $120 bonus at stars over the $600 bonus at Full Tilt???
What kind of inside Info do you have ?

Enough to be moving almost all of my play to Stars.
I really suggest you do the same.

I would put it on stars. There is one day left for the bonus.

Why do you recommend saving your FPP points ChipFish? I just used 1500 to buy some T-shirts, lol.

yes i think full tilt is having a pretty good bonus there right now....but i havent checked it out lately. As far as competition goes, i like the smaller tournies so you get an increase % chance of winning (obv) but i really like the competition....i feel like they are much weaker/tighter than on stars. Just my 2nd hand opinion

Stars is the best site on the internet by far...

FT is quickly becoming #2 tho but stars is where it is happening... Stars has every type of tourney possible, great cash games, etc.

yes, of course i agree with this i think full tilt need to make more sng's, tournies, etc. in order for it to be even close to stars. i have been sending suggestions to them a few times to make more games on sng's, but they always say they will discuss it in the near future or somethign like that....right now ill keepsticking to stars

how does a site add more SNG's they auto launch when they reach the max for the sit and go? if not enough launch its because of lack of people not the fact that they dont have enough. Tornies i agree with though.

If your plan to to play long term daily.I would get the full tilt bonus.and if you sign up thru a rakeback program then its win win .But becareful it is a reputable rakeback program there are a lot of scammers
