Why not if you can afford it and have other income to survive on.

give yourself a deep bankroll and it will answer questions for you.
you need to first prove to yourself your a winning player.

If you cant build 1k to 2k in 25nl for example
At least you find out your ot yet ready to grind a reliable return.

if you are just playing for fun.
do whatever you feel I sometimes run on instinct lately im solely a cash player and that's worked surprisingly good..

if goes bad I may revert

Where ever you go... sign up with rakeback . There are a number of sites that offer it, but you need to register through them. It will add up.

I was thinking the same thing. 25nl.

Ive never played anything other than micro online.
So im excited to give it a real shot at 25nl.
(Im sure .25nl is still consider micro though) lol

Check the sites' deposit and withdrawal methods and pick a site that has suitable ones for you. Then play at a level where you have a solid EV. It might be a good idea to discuss where, what and what level to play with your staker. It's his $ after all.

Carbon doesn't have that many large guarantee tournies, I'll defintely take it to bovada where they actually have decent guarantee.

No....

Basically you are responsible for reporting any winnings from online. 99% of players don't.

Sending your ID isn't a big deal, as they stated earlier you will need it to cash out regardless.

If I had$ 1,000 in the account would have played exclusively on party poker and poker stars because only these two poker I like and moreover there are no problems with the withdrawal of money that is now very often found in other poker rooms !!! for example, as 888poker where I just blocked the account when I'm with $ 5 for 5 min won almost 67 dollars and then play only on two poreca !

grind out 25nl for marginal wins, probably lose, and if you do win never see your money

OR

go to the local casino, take a seat at the 5/10 game, luckbox an 8 hour session
get rich or die tryin'

Yeah as several others said in this thread, if I could use only one poker room for $1000, I would likely use Bovada as my first choice at the moment, especially if I were playing mainly MTTs. If I was going to grind cash I may gravitate over to BCP/ACR/True (Winning Poker Network) and play the cash games using 27% rakeback (note: if you have an old rakeback account at BCP from Merge Days you can get 35%).

Good Luck

PS: Yeah, all rooms require ID and proof of residence.

Try RakeTheRake.com. There is a spot on their site where you can try to get retagged with them. This can work as long as you didn't sign up with some other affiliate. In any case, you have to nothing to lose by trying.

IT sounds to me you are a very new player who has never cashed out from a poker site before. Any site you would try to pull cash out of would require you to send an ID before authorizing the withdrawal.

My advice to you is to deposit those funds $100 at a time and see what you can do with $100 before you throw $1000 into the mix.

More bewildering to me is: who would stake such a new player?

Not to put you down or anything but its clear you've never cashed out before. I'm very much surprised you found someone to stake you $1,000.

In any case, I wish you much luck and success. Bankroll management is key to long-term survival.....

True. Anyone who has built even a moderate bankroll online would have checked to see what it takes to get the cash in hand.

If someone rolled me $1K, I'd do a Camel walk to the nearest live table and take my winnings home with me that night.
Eliminate the middleman, the unknown, etc.
