FT or Stars

I'm playing $6 turbos and wondering which site is more easily beatable at this level? I did a little analysis of the Sharkscope leaderboard YTD and when you filter by $5-$15 level, almost all the players are from Stars. But as you increase the level, more and more are from FT, and it seems as though those who made the most at high stakes are all from FT. One can interpret this two ways: 1. This means there are more fish at Stars at the lower levels thus why those with the highest profits YTD are from there, or 2. There are more pros at the low stakes on Stars which results in the leaderboard being all Stars players, so the games are actually going to be more difficult there. The other thing to consider is that I get RB on FT whereas the VPP program on Stars at the low levels is virtualy useless. Just looking for which site others think is most profitable at the $6 level? Thanks

You can play both(PStars and

You can play both(PStars and FT) without any kind of problem, specially if you want to learn HUSNG. The majority , if not all, of opponents at lower byin than 20$ are not very good. You will encounter a lot of different styles , and it should be a good way to learn. On stars, even the 23$ are full of bad player with a couple of good player. You bankroll is a better indicator of the stake you should play to learn poker. Start at the 6$ level and move to the 10$. Be prepared to move down to the 6$ when you feel not confortable with your bankroll. The opponents are pretty much the same. This not mean that it will be easy to crush the game on a regular basis. (I still play 11$ after 2000 game because so many time I just crash my roll on tilt, but I'm learning from my mistakes and continu to work on my game). RB is good but ,IMO, at low stake you shoud play to move up and learn about the game. Turbo on stars is a really good structure to learn , you'll play deep and short stack enough to develope skills.Good luckDavid
