My buddies were into online poker, and I wanted to join in without looking like a total newbie. Needed a site where I could practice without betting big. Discovered parabet, which had poker rooms for all levels, plus tips for beginners. They throw in free tournament entries for new users, and their site shows live game stats to help you learn. Withdrawals are quick, and they’ve got daily bonuses to keep things interesting. It was great to get the hang of it before playing with them.
