I think, the question asked in this thread is fundamentally flawed. Just because someone is new to poker, does not mean, they have the same needs, situation or priorities. Its like asking "what is the best car for a first time car owner?" The answer to that is not the same, if you are going to use the car to commute 100 km to work every day, as if you are only going to use it for short weekend trips. It also depends, if you have children, if you can charge an electric car at home, and of course your budget. Lets say someone just enherited $4 million, and now they want to have some fun with
online poker. Then the best site for them is not the one with most freerolls but rather the one with good game selection, good software, good support and good security.
