10NL Because starting at the bottom is the only way to go... well, skip both 5NL games underneath 10NL.. those two are just annoying and time consuming. When you make a profit of $100 on 10NL, move up to 25NL. I found the transition a whole lot of fun.
2. 6max or full ring?
Full ring = less tight decisions = more easy decisions. Also, there is less variance at full ring - less swings/ less tilt.
3. what is the basic strategy; 2-4 tables playing top 10-20 hands only?
Buy-in for the max, always. Only play top 20 hands. practice position (most important element in texas hold'em NL). Try to figure out what your opponent has, try to think about why they would bet they way they are... would you do the same with your cards in this hand?
4. which sites have the softest games and a nice bonus?
I hear partypoker has the sftest games and pokerstars has the hardest. go to bonuswhore.com for more info on slutting the bonuses. GL!
copycat!
