Running out of sites to play on...
 

Any recommendations? I will keep playing on wsex unless they go to contributed rakeback, then I'm out.

Party Poker: Thanks a lot Bill Frist
Poker Stars: Rigged beyond mfing belief, no comparable RB at my levels.
Full Tilt: I'm legitimately terrified of having my account investigated and/or frozen for no reason at all thanks to all the threads on here. Also, bots.
Wsex: Hardly any games running, about to cut my winrate for the 2nd time in 2 months.
Absolute: Nittiest nitbox site ever. Plus horrible software and grapics.
Bodog: Here be dragons. I seem to remember horror stories about Bodog, it is legit these days?
Cake poker: ?????

Anything I'm forgetting? Any recommendations? Man I wish the US would hurry up and legalize US-based online poker.

How to stop whinging and play poker?

There are tens of thousands of people playing quite happily.

What makes you think the sites are picking on you?

No, I know, that's why I started this thread.

If you read the wsex thread, there is a lot of support for continuing with dealt rakeback, but the last time wsex gm chimed in, he said contributed was basically a done deal.

So when that happens, I will cash out and move on. But to where????????????

Reading comprehension FTL?

I didn't say that the sites were picking on me; I just said that there don't appear to be any left that make sense for me to play on.

I know Stars is (probably) not rigged. But I had a run there that tested the limits of my belief in logic.

Also, they have a dumb policy about their $1,000 bonus. You have to be Supernova to purchase it, despite the fact that you will reach 100k FPP (or whatever it costs these days) long before you reach Supernova.

So to get the best rate on their "rakeback," you have to play almost the entire frigging year getting next to nothing in return, when, if they allowed you to purchase the larger bonuses earlier, you could move up/earn interest/spend the money that's due to you.

UB is left, though most of the traffic has left too.

Re: Running out of sites to play on...
 

It takes the whole year to get 100k VPP's?

Getting to SN really isn't very hard.

1. I'm not a professional player. I work 40/hrs week outside of poker.
2. I play $100 NL and $200 NL
3. I was on track to reach SN by about July or August. That's 6 or 7 months with no rakeback to show for a lot of grinding. I ended up purchasing a smaller bonus at a much crappier rate and quitting the site.

Re: Running out of sites to play on...
 

As previously suggested, Carbon (formerly poker.com) & UB, and some Microgaimng (Prima) skins allow US.

Not quite "no rakeback," but yes, not great.

I don't know the last time you played there, but this is far from true. Yeah the graphics/software suck but the players are awful.

-probably 18-20k
-NL10 is the smallest for 6 max, they do have .01/.02 full ring though.
-I'm sure the games at those levels are soft, its micro nl.

you can make up to 3 accounts if u need rakeback and u can check out there software without signing up, from what I understand most good players dont play there cuz of software/cashout issues but they have good games.

Absolute has the softest games I have played on since the whole legilation deal in the US but I dont play there cuz the software sucksssssss

Re: Running out of sites to play on...
 

UB and Bodog are both good sites. I have never had a problem at either site.

Re: Running out of sites to play on...
 

UB is an easy site. The players are weak-tight and you can run them over easily.

Re: Running out of sites to play on...
 

I really hate UB's software... their Multi Tabling software is absolutely terrible, or was last I was there... they still have shrink the table horizontally thing going?

Re: Running out of sites to play on...
