If you want to be a good poker player then 5nL will teach you and make you a better poker player but it is HARD for a microstakes game. I have worked up the bankroll for paradise 10NL after playing pokerstars 5NL for ever and paradise is sooo much easier. Paradise 10NL is insanely easy compared to the 5NL pokerstars game.


My suggestion for anyone starting would be to plug $50 into stars as a start because it really will teach you the game. After that you can play the 10NL games at other sites and move up relativly fast.
I agree with all that, and you won't be wasting a larger bonus when signing PStars with a small BR -- they don't have signup bonuses.
