Put your $140 back in your piggy bank. You are too smart to play poker with it.

I am pretty smart, that is why I think I can rule the game of pokas. So which software should I download, and I've read lots of things about bonuses and rakebacks, I just want to get the best deal!

If you are from the US there are a limited number of sites you can play on - Full Tilt Poker, Poker Stars, Ultimate Bet, and Absolute being the largest. If you live outside the US you can play on Party Poker and some others.

Each site has advantages and disadvantages.

Stars has super low level micro stakes games (2NL) which are good for beginners (good for beginners), decent software, and good support, but you cannot get rakeback.

Full-Tilt doesn't have really low micro stakes games, but has good software, ok support, and you can get rakeback.

UB has ok software (if you don't use Poker Tracker) and micro stakes, and the good rakeback + promotions, but suspect support.

Absolute has decent software, ok suppport, good promotions, available rake back, but no super micro stakes (10NL and up).

Note: If you want rakeback you cannot just set up your account. You have to have it set up by a rakeback affiliate, or set it up closely follow the instructions of your rakeback affiliate. Depending on the site, you may never be able to get rakeback if you screw up in signing up.
