100% stay away from GG and Stars. The fields are way to big.
partypoker is the way to go. If you can play on a desktop or laptop you can also use their new tutor tool ‘Wizz’ that will analyse your play and let you know your strengths and weaknesses and offer ‘missions’ to improve them.
The fields are smaller and softer there are
freerolls every hour, plenty of satellites and micro games without all the distractions and gimmiks on the bigger sites. Your minimum deposit on party is £5, min withdrawl is £10 and their withdrawl to
visa or applepay is mostly instant. There are loads of offers and bonus’s that you can get without staking (after first deposit). Always spin the party prizes casino wheel daily - i have won £50 cash, and from a 0 bank roll, 5 free spins won me £1.70 which i played 1 10p spin and won £250. Not once but twice. Last week I turned 18p into 5.44 winning a 22c 6 max bounty hunter, (which then turned into £130 in the casino but that’s not relevant).
As a beginner you want to start with sit and gos or lower stake tournaments - between 3am GMT and 3pm GMT is the softest field with 5pm -1am GMT being when the better players are on.
My reasons agains GG are that it encourages pressure play and impulsive decisions. The dramatic music the timed games with auto shoot out if the time runs out, the tournaments are good but the fields are huge, yes the free tickets daily are fun, but I would get some experience before playing there or on stars, stars for a similar reason, tournaments are just huge fields.
For me party has been the best place to learn and grow and gain confidence but also to learn one of the most important skills you need in poker - patience tournaments on party the smaller ones are mostly 2-3 hours long whereas on stars and gg you are looking at 5-6 or 8+ for some - that’s a long time when you are new and eager and the blinds climb and you get no cards.
