Hi, im new to poker and only know the basics, but would like to learn more. Could someone tell me what they think the best site to start playing on for fun would be.:ok

Re: Best Place To Start I would advise skipping the "Play for fun" games as they are so unlike anything real that they don't teach you much. Much easier to sign up (no money required) onto a site with some multi table freeroll tournements and try some of those. Say for example Sporting Odds (though other people might reccomend others) and then (when you win a little money off a freeroll - might take you say 10 games over a week) move up to something like the dollar up value tourney that all the regulars on here play or try a few $1 Single table tounements. When (and if) you get hooked then you can possibly put up a bankroll (if you want to make the process of moving up faster) or build a bankroll from freerolls. If and when you get sufficiently skilled/confident then I'd suggest some fixed limit raked hand games after depositing some money and getting one of the bonuses (have to normally play certain number of raked hands to make the bonus into real extractable money). After that its a matter of finding out where you fit in the food chain :beer
