1K, stab NL50? Still play NL25? OR Hit up some 9man 10$ sngs?

These sngs soft? Big difference from Nl25 to NL50 on stars?

Stick with NL25 but have a shot at NL50 when you feel you're playing well. If you lose a couple of buyins, drop back. Personally I wouldn't shoot for NL50 until $1250 but it's up to you, just be prepared to drop down if you get stacked a few times.

If you're playing cash, don't play stars. Get yourself a rakeback/bonus deal, if you're not american there's more choice than you can shake a stick at.

Why not stars cash games seem fishy, hows fulltilt cash games?

Stars cash games are nowhere near as fishy as sites like UB and other networks. Plus when you get to NL50 you are missing out on so much rakeback. If you go on a downswing, the rakeback is very very nice to have as a safety net. I think I've got about a buyin out of my last 4k hands.

Fulltilt is rock central imo. I don't play cash there. Sure it has some fish but there's so many grinders out there.
