Rake back or fish?

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
