Current Full Tilt game
 

Does anyone play on both Full Tilt and Party Poker?

Any comparisons between the games at the lower ring limits?

That "free" $600 just seems soooo tempting.

if anything, Full Tilt is NOT the place you want to clear a bonus at lower limits. with only 6 cents of bonus paid per dollar in rake, even at $2/4 you will to have to play over 300 hands just to clear the first $20 (and 10000 hands for the full $600!). in contrast, $600 in 7x reloads at party poker will only require 4200 raked hands, and you can clear it playing the minimum 50c/$1 as well. micro-limit whores on Full Tilt, kill yourselves.

the Full Tilt bonus is mildly tolerable if you can hit average raked pots or $2-3, which yield 12-18 cents of bonus per hand. so players $3/6 and up might find it equivalent, but not necessarily better, than a 14 cent 7x party reload. party's PT compatibility, table selection and overall higher fishyness still make it a better choice in the long run.

Wow, I just read the fine print and, you're right, that's terrible.

Invariably I'm going to just set up an account for myself on Party Poker and reload as offered as that was the #2 option I had, seeing Party Poker on my friend's account and doing very well multi-tabling the 5/10 game there in the last few weeks (yeah, yeah, small sample size, yeah yeah).
