OK, I'm just about ready to make my first foray into the online poker world (play money aside). I'm planning on taking a nice chunk of money at the begining of the month and doing some bonus whoring.
I'm sure I'll want to mess with a rake-back setup at some point, but its not a priority for me right now. However if someone thinks I shouldn't start without one, I'd love to hear more about what they can recommend.
I consider myself a good NL player, and a very good NL single table tourney player. I enjoy the sit-n-go's much more than ring game playing, but I don't mind spending time at a ring game to work off the bonus. I realy do not care for limit, but maybe its smarter to do the bonus whoring there, advise would be greatly apreciated in this area.
I know this question gets asked a lot, but the answer may have changed recently, so I'll ask again. Where is a highly recommended place for me to start? I only want to have $200 tied up in this hobby initially, but I don't mind temporarily using $1,000-$2000 (deposit and instant withdrawl) to achieve maximum bonus provided I am not puting more than the $200 at risk on the site.
Thanks

I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

I'm sure the pros here can add much more, but if you're not comfortable with Limit, don't work off a bonus with it. That's kinda what I thought when I started, and it was a mistake. You can easily work off bonuses with NL ring games, if that's your preference. I'm also in the same spot, I prefer SNGs but I'll play NL ring for the bonuses, and they give you a cushion to work with.
As to which sites, I've only played Pokerroom, PS, and PP. PS usually doesn't have a bonus, and the PR bonus is much slower than PP(or others from what I've heard), plus I personally dislike the layout. I'll probably not even play enough to collect it.
PP is probably as good a place to start as any. You can always save the rakeback for Empire(a PP skin), which is what I'm planning on doing when I start there.
Good luck!

Actually save the rake back for euro bet they offer the best percent of rake back deals.
