Yeah, Two Plus Two is a good source of advice on everything poker-related. People can also email me if they wish, I make my money by playing poker.

And when choosing a rakeback site (you do need one), feel free to support a fellow LWer and SIAI-supporter by choosing mine :)

(It's actually kind-of half-finished; I haven't really started to promote it, and haven't polished the content. But it does work.)

EDIT: One of the ways in which that site of mine is "unfinished", is that it has a marketing attitude to a degree. I built it based on a template that has that attitude, and haven't yet decided whether I'll go along with that attitude or modify it to be fully trustworthy in the sense that marketing language isn't.

So to a degree, take what you can currently read there with a grain of salt. (You can email me for fully honest answers without a marketing attitude, and as mentioned, Two Plus Two forums are good.)

What is a rakeback site? And if it involves money going to it why would I not just create my own?

Rakeback is when a poker site gives you back part of what they take as commission from most pots you play. So signing up to a poker site through a rakeback site is like signing up with a discount.

Creating your own rakeback site is perhaps the best option if you bother to do it. The cut that the rakeback sites receive isn't very large, though, so it's not particularly common to bother to do this.
