    Default New player and trying to decide

    I'm tring to decide on a good poker room. I've narrowed it down to the two biggest ones: Full Tilt and Poker Stars. I want to play tourneys and ring games, but I just want to know which is the best.

    If you're playing microstakes, then PokerStars has a lot bigger selection in both cash and tournaments, I think.

    What sort of tournaments do you want to play?
    Ring - limit or no limit? (omaha etc?)
    Stakes?

    Ripper. What are the requirements for clearing the bonus on stars? Do only hands that are raked >$0.40 contribute?

    Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.

    Do NOT sign up for FullTilt directly because you won't be able to get rakeback later. Go through a rakeback affiliate for your initial sign-up.
