I'm tring to decide on a good poker room. I've narrowed it down to the two biggest ones: Full Tilt and Poker Stars. I want to play tourneys and ring games, but I just want to know which is the best.

If you're playing microstakes, then PokerStars has a lot bigger selection in both cash and tournaments, I think.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

What sort of tournaments do you want to play?
Ring - limit or no limit? (omaha etc?)
Stakes?
How much you planning to deposit?
How much you planning to play?
These gems of information will help people answer the question a little better. Good luck!

Ripper. What are the requirements for clearing the bonus on stars? Do only hands that are raked >$0.40 contribute?

Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.

Do NOT sign up for FullTilt directly because you won't be able to get rakeback later. Go through a rakeback affiliate for your initial sign-up.
