Online Play...

I'm about to open a online account for the 1st time, i was wondering which site is the best for Micro Limits? My bankroll will be around $50. Also do i have any chance of clearing any bonuses playing Micro Limits? I like big tables 9 or 10 people, i won $50 in bonus money at Absolute for getting 15 million in play chips but i dont wanna join there site because the real money tables are 6 max. I'm a really tight player if that makes any diffrence.

1. Not all their tables are 6-max.
2. Might want to look for a site that has at least .25/.50 to start with, so you have 100 BB. The ideal bankroll for a given limit is 300BB in order to deal with downturns.
3. Also check out the sign-up bonuses and make sure you're deposit on a site with a sign-up bonus. More bang for the buck.

You can try PokerStars, they have as little as 0.02/0.04 games and most pots are not raked. I have played 0.25/0.50 there and they charge 0,25 in rake only if the pot size is up to 5 dollars.

you're leaving money on the table playing that way

you shouldn't be playing at .5/1 with your BR, stars has nano games, and once you get to $200 paradise has a 50% to 100 signup bonus, which you can clear at .25/.50 or .5/1

Make sure to do the things we never did for your first account:

Get a rakeback deal, and get a deposit bonus.

I might look into that Paradise poker deal once i build up a nice bankroll @ Party. I also understand to make the most money i can @ the lower limits i will have to loosen up a bit which im working on but ive always been a tight player so it will take some adjustment.

pacific poker give some sort of bonus for joining (I think it was 25 bucks), and they have 0.05/0.10 games that are very loose. If you put in 50 bucks, you got 500BB, so should never go broke if you play even reasonably okay.

I put in 25 a while back, and with the bonus they paid very quickly, drew the 25 back out the next day (well it took about 4 days to get it into my Neteller account) after only about 20 hands, and then played on it for free.

It sometimes freezes, and there are better sites, but the bonus was an up-front payment (got it within minutes of joining) so the playing really didn't cost a bean.
