The numbers speak for themselves. My ITM is 17% on FTP. While it is 40% on Pokerstars. What makes those #'s even worse is that I am playing much larger fields on pokerstars. This deviation is insane. The only thing I can attribute it to is maybe slightly different blind structures, but I play identical styles on both sites.
I've noticed FTP is more like a turbo game compared to stars. Stars blinds seem to go up more slowly, and I think that their payout structure is more generous to lower finishers. I am just a very tight player; I want to get paid before I get paid if you know what I mean. That's not necessarily the recommended method of winning big, but I've won final tables with a couple hundred chips, so I just want to make the money and then play poker.
Stars payout structures are designed to keep u in crumbs and the "pros" fat off ur money........
I would say that at least 85% of the players in any MTT at Stars do not have 25% of the bankroll that is required to play the MTT's they are entering..and by playing 4 hours for 2 x their buyin they are assured they never will..........
