First deposit, which site?

Hello there. I've been playing online for a short time. Found I still had about fifteen bucks in my full tilt account and after finally learning to adjust for the play at micro limits (ie. play strict ABC poker) I now seem to be doing good. I'm looking to deposit about 60 dollars but am not sure which site I should deposit it into.

I read an article somewhere, I can't remember where. Saying that the smaller sites are better for new players because they have much more fish and that low stakes players can't take advantage of most of the promotions on the bigger sites. Is this true? Or do you think I should just stick to full tilt and add to my tiny bank roll there and keep grinding it out and doing the academy?

Thanks in advance.

I would stick to fulltilt.

Do you have rakeback at FTP? Go with that.

I, like PO would advocate sticking with Full Tilt. Great selection of micro sakes games, excellent software, easy deposits and withdrawls. And it seems you are already playing and have a bankroll there so why go anywhere else and split u your 'roll? True, they have crappy customer service, but what they lack in haste, they make up for in fairness.

And if rakeback is someting you are looking for (and you are, I assure you), and you do not already have rakeback through an affiliate, go to rakebackpros. Fill in your info and you will recieve 27% rakeback. This site offers rakeback exclusively to FTP players and is definitely the way to go.

Thanks for the help guys. I already have rakeback through rakeback.com is that a good rakeback site and if not is there any way to change it? I will be making my deposit tonight

Though I have never tried, I'm sure you can opt-out from RBP if you want. As far as any other ways to get it, unless you signed up and made your account @ FTP through another affiliate, the only other way I know of is to email FTP support and ask. Not sure how that would work out though. There was a thread on here not too long ago. I think it was called "Endless rakeback Saga at FTP and other sites". Try searching for it, it has loads of info on rakeback.

poker sites take a rake of every hand played at a cash table, or a percentage of each buy-in for sngs/mtts.ie, $1.20 sng, the .20 is the rake
With rakeback you get 27% of it back, in your account every week.

pokerstars is for me the best choice.
You Can Play very easy SNG, $3,40 $6,50 and $16 SNG there are many Fishes.
