Usually, if I am brand new to a smaller site, I won't make a deposit immediately. I like to feel the place out some, play in some freerolls, you know, really get lay of the land and feel for the interface. If everything jives and I read some reviews on it, then cool, I'll hang around.
I do this especially if I'm playing a new network just to get the hang of the software. Doesn't usually take ery long, but any nuggets or tricks I can find out to help me is definitely +EV when I finally decide to play there.
As to the OP's original point, however, I generally stick to the big sites, since they tend to have traffic in a wider ariety of games. Stars and Absolute were the first 2 sites I played at, then I moved on to Party (as well as their skins), Bodog, the Primas that had 5x bonuses, and Paradise Poker...although on occasion I'll play at Titan/CD Poker for certain affiliate or forum freerolls, plus the players there generally suck. And I've recently added a couple of the Crypto sites like Sun Poker and Will Hill (Will Hill has probably the easiest $40-45 bonus on the Net on a monthly basis), and I'm thinking of adding a couple of more sites in the future, based strictly on bonus whoring and other factors.
Stars is the nuts, as far as I'm concerned, when it comes to game ariety, cashout speed, and customer service. All the other sites I listed above have their pros and cons, but if you're winning at a site/network that you're comfortable at, there's not much reason to change sites unless you want to bonus whore or just see what else is out there.
