So I found a legit sign-up deal and completed it ... I didn't want to risk any of my own money so it took a while, but I finally found someone willing to reimburse me in full ( the deal was from {NO ONE IS FUCKING INTERESTED}, if anyones interested, dont remember the website off the top of my head ) . So anyways now I have a free 63$ on Pacific Poker to turn into my free BMW  My question to you guys is, what games on Pacific will be the easiest for a newcomer like me to beat? I dont want to lose all this money on my first day ... help me out !

Wow. No offense, but it's kind of like giving an eight-year-old directions to Disneyland -- it's a great place, but...- do I try to tell him how to drive or do I assume he is walking?
do I assume he is capable of getting there?
do I assume he has the help he needs?
am I responsible if he is hit by a car after I give directions?
I could go on an on. But, in my opinion, your $ will get you the most experience by playing small No Limit Hold'em sit-n-go's (I assume that is why you are here, NLH). If you don't tank first or second of the ten players, you can play an hour or two for a couple bucks. If you win a couple times, go play the nickle/dime games ( I think it is a $10 buy in.).
Some folks will advise you to start with limit games. Fine, but I don't think that is why you are here.
Good luck.

Turning 63 dollars into a BMW by playing poker with a minimum risk of ruin. This is a 2015 model you're looking at right?
You have to ask yourself what's more important, trying to get a BMW, or playing in a matter that won't bust your bankroll. Whichever one of these priorities is highest will affect the best course of action for you. This is assuming you are playing poker only in an effort to get yourself a BMW.
It's great to have goals, especially long term goals. Turning 63 dollars into a BMW is a little too long term IMO. You need to have other goals along the way to keep you grounded and focused. A monthly/bi-monthly goal is a good way to start to see where your play really stacks up against those who you play with.
