In the past i never really had the desire to put money into an online site but now i think im just gonna put like $50 into a site. Im gonna play like .5/.10 NLHE and maybe some like .25/.50 limit HE. The bonuses dont really apply to these games bc the rake usually doesnt get high enough to gain points to qualify for bonusues so that isnt an issue. Are there any sites that just have terribke players or should i just pick w/e site i feel most comfortable playing on (which i like Stars and Full Tilt, no offense FCP)

If you want a easy deposit bonus to clear try bodog they match 100% up to 100 dollars and you clear it w/ 250 bodog points. You get points for tourney fees, raked pots and even time played. For the limits you are talking about playing the comp is pretty soft. Also they have a 10% reload on any deposits after your initial deposit.

If you're talking about depositing $50 to play micro limits I'd just go with which software you like best. Competition differences are minimal if at all existant at those levels and bonuses/rakeback won't mean much. I'd suggest taking advantage of the $100 free at Party through PSO if you don't have a real money account there because it's hard to beat $100 free. Party doesn't go below .5/1 fixed limit though. $100 isn't sufficient for playing $.5/1 but with free money it's worth a shot.

I'd suggest Pokerstars for micro-limits and because it has excellent software. Very nice place to play if bonuses aren't an issue.
Long signatures are really annoying.

I won't try and compare and contrast because as others have posted at those small limits the games at most sites are similiar.Right now if you choose FCP if you don't already have an account and you make at least a $25 real money deposit you'll be able to play in 2 of the 3 Freerolls for the golf weekend in Vegas with Daniel.Our bonus does clear at these limits although not as fast as higher limits.

Anyone else know about this 100% to $100 bodog bonus? I haven't heard about this.
