So I'm going to open up accounts with several sights soon to achieve better table selection, but was wondering what my priorities should be for selecting sites. Eg, should I go for a 'fishy' sight with no rake back, or do the advantages of rake back/VIP points on other sites outweigh the expected extra income from the fishier players? Or should I rape the bonuses on every site?

depends on the stakes you're gonna play. if you're gonna be starting out at <25nl then look for a site whose bonus doesn't expire in a month or 3. as for rakeback, might as well get it if you're going to play on a site that offers it. the only site that doesn't is pokerstars.

Do as much as you can with each. Here's a good thread to read through: Managing your non-poker-playing issues
