Ok in my poker life I have played over 1000 sngs but now starting to play ring. In my 6max life I have played about 4000 hands at stars 6max 0.5-1. LIMIT.

I think I have the hang of it and with my holidays comin up very soon would like to start playing short handed, small stakes limit.

I cleared some points at pokerroom recently to get a registration key for PokerOffice 2, but I dont have a key for PokerTracker.
My bankroll is $600.

Could anyone please advise me on which site to make a new account at? Taking into account ease of small stakes 6max games, bonuses, rakeback etc. I would really appreciate it as I dont know much about the different poker sites. I only have an account at stars and PR so will be eligble for a bonus at all the others.

Im thinking of playing at absolute poker, due to the following:

Pros:
100% reload bonus up to $700
Rake back 28%
Americans allowed

Cons:
Doesnt work with pokeroffice

So, please advise me! Thanks

the limit games at absolute are really hard. DOn't go there.

Stars has easy games, party probably still does even without americans. Pretty much all low lmit 6m games are soft, Full Tilt probably won't be an exception and you can get rakeback there.

Dunno what the situation with rb on party is atm, I'm not playing there til it's cleared up

Absolute is chock full of bonus whores (they do constant reloads, which clear quick at limit)

I don't play a whole lot of limit, but I tried some 6 handed .50/1 and 1/2 at VC Poker(tribeca) and its really really soft. Not that many tables to choose from, but almost all the players have 50%+ VPIP and take alot of crap to the river. Also, you can get monthy reloads on that network (80% rakeback).

The rake is crazy at SH Limit, so make sure you have rakeback, or are clearing a bonus.

Thanks very much for the replies boyz.

midas: Absolute a no-go aye?... I was considering just staying at stars but I feel like im committing a deadly sin by not having a bonus/rb?

jimmy: sounds good I might go and check out doyles room or VC.

 Game selection usually sucks but you can run through a lot of bonuses on the Prima network.
