    What's a good poker site?
    I've been with Bovada for some time.

    Would like to try another site out for fun.

    I was thinking one with rakeback. I'm used to Bovada being anonymous that I lack knowing about poker software and think I'll probably be in a big disadvantage.



    Soooo.... If I were to try a site... What site do you think?
    Also what's the best software?


    What I'm mainly interested is any really really really good promotions for new players.
    I kind of want to bonus whore a couple sites with some promos.

    I heard back in the day they gave a lot away, but let me know if you guys know of any.

      Bonus whoring is gone for American players. And I, and many others, would disagree that carbon pays fast. Waiting on a grand for months from them and have gotten every excuse. Ever since the Lock fiasco and now my problems with carbon I'm not depositing on any new sites. Especially one that's advertising a big bonus for new players.

          Seems like Carbon doesn't have rakeback.

            bodog still the best place imo, at least you can get your money!
            I play at bet dsi some tournaments, and there,also, never had a problem cashing out.
            5 dimes is another good place as many here play, and , commented in the past, that they have no issues cashing out. I think that they may have a rake back program as well.
            good luck

              Does 5Dimes get a fair enough amount of traffic in their poker room?

                The old B is really the only place worth my time right now, and who knows how long they can keep skirting the DOjokers. Last time I deposited there my bank said I bought balloons and that's the same crap that full tilt started right before the end. Online poker is almost dead in the US at this moment.

                    Bovada is a machine.

                    look at winning poker network. I've been hearing several ads for Americas card room on Sirius. That should be helping traffic

                          When you mean same network, does that mean all the players play together or is it just owned by the same management?

We do so by offering players better promotions, fast & feature-rich software, and more opportunities to win thanks to a schedule that’s packed with guarantees. And it all

                                Main reason SBR tourneys are "soft" is due to the structure. I'd say the field has adapted well to the 30-40 player mtt turbo sng and it's their strongest game by far.

                                        Ok well I've got several payouts and live in the worst state for poker in the country(Washington) where even most gambling sites have as well...I think maybe I am lucky and unlucky at the same time because most states they'll send you a check which probably takes a while. My only options are ** or ** because I can't go use checks. I got my ** in 3 days for 500

                                          I always have the shutdown button on my computer already ready to be clicked on any gutter, open ended or flush draw..

                                          Needless to say 98/100 times on the yahoo NRNG I didn't need to wait...it's hilarious how bad the "randomness" is

                                              You don't think the huge overlays along with a structure where a 1/3 of the field cashes makes it easier to win?

                                              If 30-40 player turbo MTT isn't SBR's best game, what is? It sure isn't cash

                                                Anyone know if the WPN shares all the players in all their skins or if each one has a separate pool?

                                                  it doesn't matter. either way its rigged to pretty much anally rape you with no lube, and take your money in the process.... who cares which pool, or combined pool, of bots, plants, insider's, employeees, etc you lose to?

                                                      If 30-40 player turbo MTT isn't SBR's best game, what is? It sure isn't cash
                                                      I thought you were implying the strength of the field here but I see what you're saying now.

                                                      You could maybe fill one table out of the player pool here that even understands how to adjust to this structure at SBR. Most "adjust" by pushing and praying or calling off light and gambling in horrible spots.

                                                        It's really hard to be a winning player, but you think it's rigged?
                                                        You think all sites are rigged?
