online sites and bonuses
 
Hey,
I am going to make my first deposit this coming week, most likely at poker stars. with 50 dollars, playing the 0.5/10cent games. Anyone have any advice on online sites, or where the best bonus is? Thanks!

I would recommend putting your money anywhere but PS. That place seems to be rock city. The only site I've seen where the entire table often folds to a 3xBB raise, there are much easier places to make money if you ask me. JMO

Is the tight play a bad thing? I mean I would rather be playing against that then a bunch of maniac players just looking to catch a card on the river, or am I not thinking correctly here?

Yes and No. If he´s going to make his first deposit then he probably isnt the best player. I am a beginner also, but I have noticed that Maniacs are easier to beat than Stone Killers and Rocks. For that, my advice is: Dont start at PokerStars or UltimateBet, try any Party Skin or Pacific Poker. Lots of fish on both poker rooms. As for the bonus, send me a private MSG, there are a couple deals...

He wants to play .05/.1 games, which Party doesn't offer. UB doesn't either; I think they go from .01/.02 straight to .25/.5. So for the limit you want to play, you're stuck with stars.

I don't play at Stars, but I can say that the quality of competition on UB is vastly over exaggerated, so I assume it's the same with Stars.

UB does have .05/.10 NL, but only in full ring, not 6 max.
