Hi,
I am a Non-American player planning to start out at cash games i have played a bit of SNG's before but with little success .I plan to start at 10 NL

I did read this thread about the sites to play in with different bankrolls .
But i am thinking the thread has been made with respect to sites accepting US players

I have heard full tilt has a lot of pros and a newbie like me cant stand a chance there or am i wrong about this ?

At the moment i can think of stars and titanpoker .

If possible please name some other sites

Regards

Pokerstars the best. Lots of traffic and micro games.

dont listen to this, you want to get out of micros asap and mainly its often people play lower bc of BR. if you have 10 buyins id recommend taking a shot at nl10, anyone with half a brain and was dropped as a child on their head can beat 10nl

Depends on what country you are from.

A lot of good euro sites if you hail from that side of the world.

Much wiser to start at the lowest level and move up when you're skilled enough (unless you're willing to pay few hundred bucks for your lessons at NL10).

For sites, try iPoker or Stars. Games are about as soft at the right times. Full Tilt is somewhat tougher, but the difference isn't as nearly as big as you may think. Only reason I wouldn't recommend it is because of the rake at < NL25.

i dont think it takes much thinking about learning to valuebet, as i said before start at nl10+, im sure anyone can beat it with any sense of basic theory and you dont 3 barrel every other hand

like i said before, you can be braindead and beat 10nl

And like I said before, start at the lowest level, if few hundred bucks mean anything.
