Hi. A few questions and observations first.
I see you have been a member of CardsChat since 2007, so you are not entirely new to poker. This is probably the first thing to answer. How long have you been playing poker; which games and at what level? Do you have a preference for games, i.e., cash, sng, MTT?
Why are you choosing pokerstars and why $25?
How much profit would you like to make and how much can you afford to lose?
Do you play the cards chat freerolls? This is a good way of guagimg where your game is at and also helps you to develop your poker skills, and building your bankroll.
If all these questions are answered, and you still make your deposit. Check out the deposit bonuses and use them to their maximum.
In terms Of playing, develop your style so that you are improving and winning and enjoying the games you play. Check out the forums and articles that will give you advice on how to start off in each game type.
And of course..... good luck.
