I dont have a best ne but many. I play at UB, PS, FTP, Walker Poker, bodog, Carbon Poker and players Only Poker. For me, there is no one best sight sorry......but there is the same kind of fish at all of them. By holding your own as you say, and playing a patient game, you can be a winner at any of them. Good luck

Imo, full tilt is the best poker site.

Animation, games, second biggest site online, pros play there, plenty of freerolls, exc.

Stick to one site with decent rewards (like rakeback at Full Tilt) as your main site. Its great to have a bankroll on more than one though, and is good to have the big sites downloaded as they all run their own promotions from time to time, and obviously you can use the freerolls etc when your short.
I only suggest focusing on one site while your stepping back and starting over. Your going to progress fairly slowly and its kinda pointless earning a low amount of frequent player points on two, three or more sites. Its far better to earn the majority in one place and reap a few of the rewards. You dont mention what level your at with regards to micro, low, med or high stakes, but i'd suggest that even at low stakes you could hit the lower level Iron Man (bronze) on Full Tilt every month, which is worth looking in to for the goodies from the Iron Man store and the cash bonuses they throw out.
Obviously, dont go broke trying to get there, but if your sensible, solid and play within your limits, you should be break-even player at worst while earning your 50 points per day.
I dont wanna look like i'm promoting Full Tilt here, because Stars is a great site too (poss my fave out of the two currently) but Tilt have the Academy too, where you can watch tips from pro's, then complete challenges at the real tables utilising what you've learned. Its really worth a look!
Best of luck.

i dont like full tilt... i dont really like the feel when you are playing because of the avatars... i like poker stars better for the low key game and feel like you are really playing poker at a casino... also i have begun to like poker stars more for their many micro mtts such as the .10 240 people tournaments and the .25 100 dollar ad ons

I have found Bodog to be more profitable than other sites. I infer that this means the quality of play is lower there.

Undone- you can turn the avatars off on Full Tilt using the drop down 'options' bar. I tend to keep them on as they are just a bit of fun really, but if i'm feeling tilty, chat and avatars both go OFF!
