Here's a very general question that will definitely be of use to me, and probably to quite a few other players.
I've been playing live for quite some time but I sometimes don't feel like going up to Foxwoods. I've sampled most online sites for poker, but would like to concentrate on one at first.
The problem is ... I can't figure out which I like the best.
So, let's say I'm starting from scratch. I'd like to join Site X.
My questions:
a) which one will net me the most as a new player? Is there some insane new bonus sign-up thing I'll get at Site X. I.e. if I'm going to deposit, I don't know, $100 ... $500 ... $1000 ... whatever into my account, which site would give me the BIGGEST bonus.
b) About me: I probably am not as aggressive as I should be, I play very tight, so I guess I'm a bit weak-tight. Fortunately, I make money at Foxwoods by not playing many hands and then playing out those few I want to play. However, this strategy, while it might work at Foxwoods at their 5/10 and 10/20 games, won't work well at all sites. So ... online, in the, say, 3/6 4/8 5/10 10/20 games (whatever), which would you recommend for someone who plays tight but isn't as aggressive as others. Is there a place that is max +EV for me?
Any and all help will be appreciated, since I can't figure out from the limited sampling I've done at Party, UB, Paradise, etc etc where I would fit in best and make the most, so hopefully those of you with billions of hands of experience could fill in some blanks and get me up to speed.
Thanks!
