Whats Poker Stars like for real money?

[Beejayville]

Been playing Pacific Poker and poker Stars for a little while now with play money trying to hone my Poker texas holdem NL skills. The play money is in front from mainly playing Single/Multi tables from 9 to 45 and managed to win and get to final table a few times. So was wondering if anyone has played at Poker Stars for real $$$ and if it is much different to the play money tables...Some of the nuffers in play money tourneys do some stupid things that I doubt they would do in real money tourneys. Not really sure where to play online for real $$$, but most review sites gave Pokers Stars the thumbs up, said it was tougher, but playing tougher players only improve skills more I would have thought. Any thoughts?

Re: Whats Poker Stars like for real money? From what I've found Stars definietly the toughest (admittedly not played on FTP). Stars are great for SnGs in the sense they always fill fast. Literally in just a few seconds they'll get started. Lowest level is $1+0.20, and that's for 9, 18 or 45 players. In Stars generally speaking long handed is 9 players not 10. Others will no doubt be able to provide better advice but for bonuses Stars offer a 100% bonus up to $50, but that'd probably be quite hard to clear at $1+0.20. Pretty sure the bonuses don't expire though.
