Which is the Best Online Poker Site?

Which onlinepoker site should you choose? There are many large poker rooms online, and the list is growing daily, so this can be a vexing question.
For new casual poker player, I suggest that you download the free poker software from a couple of sites, Party Poker (the largest online poker site), or PacificPoker which comes from the 888 stable of gaming brands.  RiverBelle Poker is also an excellent choice.
            
Start by playing the free onlinepoker games to get the look and feel of each software. There will be many variations of games to play including the ever popular Texas Hold ´em, in addition to  Omaha Hi and Omaha Hi Low, 7 card stud and other versions.     
            
You can play for free in ring games or you can also play tournaments. I recommend that you play these free games and the freeroll tournaments before investing real money.  Once you have the hang of it, give it a go with real money on some of the smaller bet tables, and off you go!
            
There are multi-player tables and chat, so this is an excellent place to meet other players who are into playing poker online.
