U.S. Players where you playing poker at online?

[DJ Dalamar]

I thought there was a thread about the best U.S. online poker sites but I can't find it. I'm mainly playing at bookmaker now and want to play somewhere else as well. Looks like the choices are winning\merge\Bodog.

Im not famailar with any of the software what oyu guys like?

[BigDeem5]

5 dimes and Americas card room I've heard good things about

[DJ Dalamar]

Yeah I'm on the 5dimes network (True?) and it's ok just want more options. I forgot about Americas card room.

[meximonster]

Which sportsbook is on Americas card room?

[DJ Dalamar]

I don't think any sports book is. I'm talking strictly poker.

[rm18]

winning/bookmaker/5 dimes/acr are all the same site

[benandjerry]

I'm not US, and have been out of the loop a little bit as far as poker goes, but what about carbon or lock (I think Lock moved networks not too long ago)? They seemed to be relatively popular among US players a couple of years back.

Make sure you get a nice rakeback deal.

Please read calvin's articles on the ponzi scheme at Lock...Cashout for ROW players are 2 months and for US no one has gotten paid in 4 months

Bovada or Winning(5dimes) are the only option which you will get paid

here is one that Benny talked about a few weeks ago:

I think it's only available in a few states though

It is legal and only available if located in nevada. You can cash out in minutes by walking to a casino or by check in 4-5 days. The major problem is news is currently breaking that Iovation and Greg Peirson do the security software. They are the guys who stole tens of millions from players a few years ago with Russ hamilton by looking at players cards while playing them. The story was even featured on either 60 minutes or 20/20 I forget which

This story is going to be real bad for legal poker in US because it turns out the biggest scumbags in online poker history are doing the security for this site!!

good to know

Seals with clubs

Seals has had a big run up lately because of bitcoins. But they dont compare in ANY way to ultimatepoker in nevada. Seals is not considered legal in the US, in many ways its no different then merge, carbon, 5dimes. Seals does make it easier to cash out with the bitcoins and they seem like an honest group. I hope seals gets more traffic

Lock poker is of course about to go under ( google it) DONT BET ON LOCK. They stall payouts for a full year and its finally come crashing down.

#lockpokersucks is a new twitter hashtag LOL

Thanks for this post

Going to look into these guys now

[benandjerry]

Apologies for bringing Lock up, as said not really up to date on recent poker news, even less so US specific.

RTR still advertises them which is a bit troubling given their size.

[thewhiteguy]

Bovada hands down

Its common place in Gaming industry to hire the guys who beat you....Ive seen it so many times they know every angle. Can they fall off the wagon sure but the penalties are usually really steep if they do. And they are heavily watched. Cant wait for legal poker to hit Florida its got to be right around the corner. Not a fukin chance in the world I would play the illegal off shore games right now....they know the end is near and will suk down every single penny they can steal before its over.

[konck]

I know a guy who beat the Keno machines he got like 20 years....They gave him and EO to work for the casino and prevent if he goes bad he probably is looking at jail the rest of his life.

[MoneyLineDawg]

How are bovada payouts lately?

[thewhiteguy]

How are bovada payouts lately?

7-10 Business Days, I've only had it go over that once in over 24 payouts

Been playing legally here in Vegas for over a week.
Not much action yet. They only have one tournament per day for $50.
I did play it last night and got $440 for 3rd.
Software is terrible but they were in a hurry to be the first one;s going, so I'm sure they will improve it shortly.
lot of broke grinders on there thinking they are going to get rich again but it's not going to happen this time around. Too many educated players. It will never be like the good ole days ever again.

I'm just hoping to supplement my income even if just a tad, compared to 2004-2010 when I never had a job and the money was flowing all over online.

The biggest scumbags in the world are poker players, they are worse then sports degens. All those naive poker fans see so called "poker-pro's" on TV and jerk off to them, but 80-90% of them are liquid broke and playing on someone else's money when you're watching it on ESPN, NBC, etc.
Now they are all broke and begging everyone they know for money and action.
Don't ever trust a guy who plays poker. 90% of them are shitbags.

Once poker goes legit an they get the software right an run tournies poker will boom again. There are fish just waiting at home to be able to give their money away while they watch the kids. Once the software is good BOOM

[DJ Dalamar]

Thanks guys does bodog have a rackback program? I downloaded Black Chip and saw that it was same as Bookmaker. I may still sign up to get the bonus and the rakeback.

[NunyaBidness]

Not any longer. They have stated they are not interested in winning players.

[daneblazer]

Bovada gives out rakeback bonuses occasionally...have one now...and have points which is like 1% rake back or something ridiculous like that. However, they'd generally just prefer winning players to go away

You're playing on sites that are illegal and are shitholes that are going to be shut down in the next few months. Your money is not safe on there.

[DJ Dalamar]

Why would Bodog care if your a winning poker player?

[Deuce]

Moms basement.

[imadegen]

go play on bovada. soft games. decent software. solid payouts. heard lock isn't paying players out properly.

New legal site out of nevada is cool, ultimate poker

[no1here]

Hog Wild works for me and is free besides legal. Lots of action with five good tourneys today. Site is better every month!
Won Twinspires cash last month placing second. Won tourney played last night looking to go to Vegas.

[DJ Dalamar]

I see nothing in the that says they will boot you for being a winning poker player. They are just doing somethign different to try get a different clientele.

Really smart move to carter to novice players and who knows maybe they will bet some games as well.

[govolz]

bovada is by far the best for americans...

after about 10 pm the donks play and you can sit down at any stakes and play tight and make all kinds of money

they also have double up 6 man sng which are by far the easiest and best option...

interface is best at any pokerroom...

ive tried bookmaker and it suckkkkkks...
