little advice people please. i built up $202 on skypoker from $50. i have now withdrawn it to moneybookers because the mtt's they have are not very good value. ive just got more for coming 6th in a $1 mtt on william hill than you can get from winning a £1 mtt on skypoker. so was just wondering what you guys think would be the best thing to do with it? which site to put it on for the best bonuses or the best mtt's. im not really into cash atm so rake races and all that wouldnt be good for me.
I would suggest a smaller site for smaller fields in MTTs. Try to find good rakeback deal (40%+) + first deposit bonus and you're good to go.
There is so many sites out there, I suggest you find a rakeback and subscribe then look for the best deals/reviews they have and choose your poker room. Keep playing small BI tournys/SnGs untill you feel you can afford to lose a couple of 10$+1$ BIs without hurting your roll too much. GL!

Definately use it on a site with a good sign up or cash in bonus and you can increase your bankroll nicely that way. There are lots about, but look for ones who dont just give a sign up and then not a lot, but look for the ones who will sustain your custom.

The only site I can reference is Carbon Poker! It's not at all that bad of a site to play and there's generally a deposit bonus of some sort going on. I definitely would only start out with a $20 or $30 deposit wherever you end up playing. You did well on your previous venture so you should be able to build a new BR. good Luck and Congrats on your achievement!

thanks alot for the advice guys and laydee i will definately do some looking around. is carbon poker apart of the i-poker network? i dont want to be depositing on another i-poker network as i have that money on mansion and i now have $100 on william hill. (both i-poker)
i like the sound of the cake network but as im not playing any cash anymore (or very rarely) i will have to have a look at the tournies on there. rakeback is a nice bonus every week or month depending, so will be looking out for that.
thanks again for the advice i really appreciate it

If i were you i would look out for a room with many players at the game you like to play, at a good Schedule, and would stick to that. Don’t let the amount of Money you have free your mind to put your Money in games you usually don’t play, that will only turn into troubles to your wallet. I see you like MTT’s. For instance, i play SnG. If i had $200 available, i would go up a bit in the buy-in and play my regular three tables at the same time (leaving me space to watch vídeo clips on another window, don’t like to have very small tables because it gives me eye problems trying to figure out if i have suite dor off hands… .

i would put them in jokerstars and grind the games i like- in your case this would probably be mtt's or sng's- why i would put my money in stars? because they offer lots of tournaments at all limits, all poker forms, have great guaranteed tourneys and are quite safe, smaller sites tend to disappear with time, and with your bankroll as well

Deposit on PokerStars and play 1.5$ 6.max turbos and mtt's to 2$, this will i do with 200$ bankroll . Like the pochui say, i think is the safest site online. Maybe the bad think is that there are allot of players playing this micro tournaments, but i think they are also fairly bad.

thanks for the advice everyone.
i wont be putting any money on pokerstars tho. the fields are way too big in mtt's to justify playing there. i get my enjoyment from poker mainly on the results i get. so if i played there i doubt i would be final tabling many tournies, so i just wouldnt enjoy playing for hours and hours for not alot.

I suggest you keep playing at site where you win Why change site ? since ipoker network have some big MTT , you won there indicate your style of play match with their random system. Will you match with other site ? yeah, just try. I hope you will not frustrating if fail there Good luck in new adventure

Try to play at pokerstars. The biggest pokerroom, so there are a lot of people the whole time but there are also very much players who just have started playing poker, so there are not really good. With 200$ you have a good chance to encrease your bankroll there. Pokerstars has also a lot of nice tournamets on sunday. try them also

take the money and run!!!! run to pokerstars that is the 100k bonus gives you some dec shots at some big money even tho its crazy in the beginning for a depo on stars you get like 30 days of these 1k added freerolls that always with the 30 cent rebuys get bigger then 1k and the 30 cent add on imo pokerstars is the only site ive not heard much bad news with... also there supppport is imo better then any sites live support ive had. quite polite and efficient
