I also think Party Poker is the best site for a beginner to get going at. If you are a beginner and risking cash, at least at Party you'd have a better chance at making some.

The only true way to learn how to play better poker is thru experience, thus don't get down on yourself if you don't have success for the first month or two. None of us are perfect hold em players, or else we'd all be WSOP winners. Just try to get a good feel for the game and take your time, make sure you're very comfortable before you move up in limits.

Thanks everyone for your advice and imput, I think I'll continue to play at party, but I'll also try out pokerstars I hear a lot of people saying they have better tournamaents.

They may have better tourneys, but from what I hear, they also have better players that may very well take a beginner to the cleaners. I would stick to one site until you know you're good enough to explore strange new worlds.

Same for UB IMO, the S&Gs are much tighter there than any I have seen elsewhere.

UB tourneys are actually fairly easy, I find, and you can usually place top 3 no problem, as long as you're patient. Usually takes about 1-1.5 hours to play. They only really get tough, I find, when you are down to 4 guys and everyone is trying to win 3rd place minimum money. I have had great success at UB though, moreso than at Party, where I am constantly sucked out on.
