I'm an internet newbie who plays poker as a serious hobby, not a profession. I'm tired of fooling with the B&M rooms (distance, rake, wait list) and I'm in the process of moving online. I have been reading tons and tons of posts, but it's hard to put all the info together. What I really want to know is what is the best site for a newbie with a $200 initial deposit who will play .25/.50 or .50/1 once or twice a week (considering level of competition, bonus, etc.)?

Similarly, I plan to open a Neteller account for funding and would like to know if there is anything I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance...
