Default Best site for small stakes tournaments

I apologise if this has been asked before. I'm sure it has but I used the search so...

I'm a NL ring player and I'm looking to improve my tournament game. I'm a winning player over the last year and a half but I don't feel my game is that strong. I've read a fair bit but I figure the best way is to simply get a load of experience under my belt. My main problem is I'm unsure in various situations when I get deep and I feel that I simply need to get in this situations more often to improve. Which sites is best for small stakes buy ins >$5. I'm rolled for NL100 but I'd rather play small while I find my tournament feet.

Is this the best way to get experience or will small stakes tourneys teach me bad habits?

Cheers

This post in the anthology thread is for you:

That said, I prefer pokerstars, good blind structures, good starting stack size, and plenty of bad players in those low buy in's, along with a large player pool.

Small stakes will no teach you bad habits, but it's difficult to learn if you don't care at all about the money I think. I don't know what a NL100 roll lokks like, but I would reccomend finding a level where at least the final table payouts will make you smile.

Try moving down to play 0.01/0.02 NL cashgames and see if you can bring out your A game...

Stars is great for $1-5 buy in MTT with big fields.
