    1) They Had T$.
    2) More satellites
    3) more variation in mtts other than NL

    better structure, and cleaner software imo. thoughts / addon plz

    I dont know about his aunt's gonads but I think Tilt's satelite offerings are pretty competitive with stars. They dont have the T equivalent but you can do multiple plays with their satelite tokens, keep up in steps, play sngs, play multis, play multi satelites, lots of choices.

    their structure isnt that much diff and they also have the Double Stacks.

    .... That is the only reason I play far more on FTP than PS....

    I cannot stand PS's software.

    Full Tilt still aspires to be anywhere near as good as pokerstars runs their site.

    Customer support, Pokerstars is hands down the best. Full Tilt is still in slow motion in that department.

    One example is deal making in tourneys. While I'd like to see Pokerstars offer a automated deal making system like partypoker has/had, Full Tilt has no opportunity for deals even with customer service's help.
    FT's customer service response time to emails is a good reason why.

    I like full tilt but they have a way to go to catch up to Pokerstars.

    AGREED.

    Because I'll disconnect and be playing on both FTP and stars, and Stars is up INSTA after I reconnect and FTP takes far longer.

    I don't understand why this post is titled what it is. If the OP wants the three things, go to stars. By adding those things Full Tilt would be exactly like Stars, no different. For all the crap that FT gets, deal making and fast support is pretty much a lost cause, there are great things that they do that are better than Stars:
    1) HU Cash Games (granted UB has this too)
    2) Blind Structure in SNGs
    3) The token program. I don't understand why you're looking for more sats when you can sat into any $26 or $75 MTT and most MTTs >$100 with a $26 or $75 token.
    4)Double Stacked 90 person SNGs
    5) PL HA

    Adding Stars features would pretty much make the site a Stars Skin

    The only thing they need is tourney dollars for use in any tourney instead of credits with specific uses. Bodog and stars have this part right.

    Wait, what? Deal making and fast support a lost cause for FT? Why? How do you come to the conclusion that FT adding some stars features mean it becomes like a Stars skin? Assuming you are right, why is this bad?

    Actually, it would allow FTP to keep its unique qualities while also having what stars already has (and therefore increase the number of people who play on the site).

    they need to speed up their software. my buddy was in a rakeback freeroll where he was the only active player, so everytime it folded around and it still took over 10 seconds per hand.

    agreed on the T$ and allowance of chops, but other than that i LOOOOOVE FTP. just wait until they implement T$ (which FTPDoug has told us they are working on), and you will see that they really have a TON of sattys. you can get into the far, far majority tourneys they run for 4.40 (mind you, thats alot of super-super-super satelliting, but possible). a 1.25r to a 50+5 for the 400k? 3.30s, 4.40s, 6.60s, 8.80s, 24+2s, 69+6s, 50+5 supers, 100+9 supers, 50 point, 100 point, 300 point MTT sattys.... need i continue?

    Full Tilt added rebuys like stars has. And now is adding resizable windows like Stars has. I hope Full Tilt gets a better check processor like Stars seems to have.... And I hope they model Poker Stars customer support. My point is that good features should be implemented at every top tier poker room. And I disagree that unique qualities lead to traffic. WPX is rake free (potentially the best feature ever) and has no traffic.
