Hello.
I am new to poker in general in that I have never played it online or live. I used to be heavily involved in playing online fighting games so I have some knowledge on the atmosphere of competitive playing. I have spent the last couple of weeks trying to learn as much as possible by reading books, articles, and watching videos. How do I go about getting experience for online poker and make sure I don't lose much money?
Also, I would like to join Bovada/bodog but the initial sign up bonus limits me to 60 days to get as much points as possible to earn a bonus. How much should a beginner like me expect to get in bonuses from Bovada if he is willing to spend several hours a day everyday playing and is passionate about it?
I would like to play but I know that I would have to hit the ground running if I would like to take advantage of the sign up bonus. I would like to eventually have this become my main source of income.

Thank you.

Not enough info. Are you going to play $1.10 SnGs all day or $10 $20 NL. you have the formula and should be able to get a decent estimate for what you play for the return you may get. One other thing to consider is the extra bonusus they frequently have. Currently they have Punta Cana where you could get up to an extra 50$ in bonus during a week of play depending on points gained and playing in at least one $5.50 sat.

I was going to start playing $0.05/0.10 limit holdem because the articles on the poker strategy part of this site recommended it. I have read posts that call nl micro stakes unbeatable. Could you comment on that? I still don't understand how to find out my return on investment or how to manage my bankroll. The articles on the poker strategy part of this site are super helpful but I still don't get how I will know when I should move up and when I should move down. I created an account through Deuces Cracked so I get the 100% welcome bonus and hopefully I will accumulate $500 in MRG so that I can get a free month to DC. I will check out the Punta Cana. I will already be playing as much as possible because I want to get the 100% match bonus from Bovada and I'm excited about getting into the game.
