Hello all
Here's my first post although I've spent a considerable amount of time just reading the various forums. I especially enjoy the hand examples. They were and are my favorite part of Matthew's books and I treat the ones posted here as a continuation on that. It's even better than the book in a sense since I can get different points of view and depending on someone's playing style there may be more than one "correct" answer.
Anyhow, I'm actually taking a little break from online poker right now. I have some major leaks (probably -2BB/hour over the last 10k hands or so). I've never been a winning player but would obviously love to change that. I had been almost exclusively playing 0.50/1.00 9 player limit games on Absolute. I realize some people here don't feel too great about Absolute, with good reason, but I think I remember it being the first site I found I could deposit money to from the US after the Netteller thing.
Now that my money has run out once again, I think the next thing I'll do is sign up with either FT or PS through a banner here so that I can get PokerTracker. I've never used it, but from what I've read, it is a useful tool. Assuming I'll want to stick with low limit ring games, does anyone have a suggestion whether to go with FT or PS?
Trying to build up to ten posts so I can post a hand example in the Limit section. Thanks for the sweet converter Cybrarian, works great!

Hello Damien,
You may want to check out the poker site review forum to see if there are any helpful opinions that might help you make a choice... or maybe even the bonus chasing forum to see if anyone has any suggestions on a good place for you to start chasing.
My limited knowledge has me wanting to suggest pokerstars. The sign up cash bonus you can get there through ITH shouldn't be too difficult to clear in time at your limits, and the free gift offer doesn't expire as far as I know. That should keep you in good shape to wait and be able to take full advantage of the Full Tilt bonus. Keep in mind that I could be off on some of this, so best to do a bit of research before making a final decision.
