UB

Thanks alot for your response. One question though. Any specific reasoning behind UB? Is that level really soft there? I see they have a 40% deposit bonus, do you think it'll be hard to work it off at that limit?

Have you guys heard anything about Hollywood Poker?

just play on party. you'll double your bankroll by playing like 700 hands. they have $10NL i believe for the first 3 weeks. deposit bonus is way too easy.

sorry forgot you cant put on the full amount. theres a $25 thing for anyone.

Play at TigerGaming. They have $5NL. Thats where i started and the games are soft. That will give you 20 buy-ins and there is a 50% sign up that i s easy to get. Even at the $5NL level.

I ws going on the basis of recommending a site that was PT compatible so as to include datamining so you don't sit down at table cold and had micro stake games.

At UB you can 'instamine' hand histories as soon as you sit down at a table and they have micro limit games starting at 1c/2c. The play there is often more 'correct' than some of the wilder sites so it's easier to learn 'good' poker there .

Another option would be Prima.

Not sure what the smallest NL tables Party has are, but if they have $10 tables you could play there too.

I tink UB/Prima and Party are the only sites where you can datamine at the moment and so they are the most PT compatible.

I wouldn't worry to much about bonuses or rakeback at those stakes, but they are available for what they are worth at both UB and Prima in various configurations.

I wouldn't really worry about maxxing income at this stage - I'd just settle down at the micro stake tables and get a few thousand hands under your belt..
