Re: is UB the place for a beginner?
Yes, UB is a reasonable place to start, as are other sites with penny-ante games such as PokerStars and Paradise and the Prima network. You can also find penny-ante games in the Beginners section on Party in your first 45 days.
It is myopic to be excited about getting an extra 5 BB/100 at $0.05-$0.10. The amount of money per hour you can get is small, and the bonus is only returning your share of the rake or less. You should focus on learning to beat the game.
When you are trying to build a bankroll, bonuses can be very helpful. It doesn't take long to go from $200 to $2000, mainly through bonuses, when you can break even at $1-$2. However, to get to that point, you should be able to crush the penny-ante games without relying on any bonus to pad your win rate.
