Just started online play - Where is the best site to play at??

[theKGBwins]

I've heard of Empire, Partypoker, etc, but everything said about the sites on this forum is usually about bonuses or rakes. Is Pokerroom any good?
Im just looking for a good site to start out at. Thanks.
(Also, how secure and safe is online play??)

Pokerroom is fine, the software kind of sucks, but it's a decent site. If you're going to deposit at least 500 you should probably check yout www.empire500.com. (http://www.empire500.com.) Either that or see what kind of rakeback you can get from affiliates here.

You should PM Syntax. He will help you out with all your online poker needs.

Paradise Poker (www.paradisepoker.com) is a good choice to start because their software and customer service are impeccable. It will take a little while to get acclimated to playing online, so it's good to start at a place where your questions will get answered fast and you won't run into software bugs. There is also a lot of player traffic, so you'll always be able to find a game at the limits you want.

I would reccomend the Empire500 Bonus also, so don't worry too much about getting a 20% rake rebate, soon the best cardrooms will be giving 100% rebate to everyone.

Just outta curiosity is the Empire 500 bonus an initial deposit thing or are current members eligible? Asking because Ive played there a while and this is the first Ive heard of it. Silly schmcuk me only got 20% up to $100. =/

If you are just starting out and want to play micro limit Pacific poker may be the one for you.

Warning: 1. Software sucks.


2. Cashouts take up to a week.


3.The worst players on the net. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I started off at party poker and won a little but it was too hard to win consistently cause of the dumbasses on there. On pokerstars i cashed in with $50 and have made about 3K so far. It seems like they have some smart players but also stupid players that you can take money from, so its a good balance, and you can usually read the smart players. Also, they have penny tables to start off but also have high stakes.
