Moving to another site, which is best site for US Players?

[ICMoney]

FTP - If want rakeback, like to play with LAG's and don't mind if your accounts gets locked for no reason.

Stars - If you like support, player points and playing with nits.

if you like bad rakeback, bad bonus, bad players, software that crashes, dont go to cake.

The LAGs at FT are not worth the risk of getting your account taken away for no reason.

I've used ePassporte and had no problems at Cake, Stars, FT, UB, AP and Vegas Poker 24-7. Vegas Poker is a skin of Absolute and they don't deduct bonuses and fees like AP so of the 2 that is the best. Customer Support I've found is excellent at Stars but varies greatly at the other sites depending on the issue or who you talk to. Cake is the fishiest right now. I've never had any problems with software at any of these sites. All of these sites allow person to person transfers. You will find the most tournaments at Stars and FT. I'd get ePassporte and hit up the sign up bonuses at all the sites and see what suits you. UB doesn't pay rakeback on tournaments & sngs. Poker Stars doesn't pay rakeback at all but has a relatively low rake and a decent internal rewards system.

Prima/Microgaming also is a big network that allows US players but most will tell you (correctly) their software is below average.

I really think this risk is extremely overstated. I've had my issues with FT like a lot of other people, but getting your account taken away? I'm sure there are FT players all over 2+2 who have gotten their accounts taken away. There's one debate involving a player who was shut down for botting. Let's not be ridiculous.

You can feel safe playing at FT. But their customer service needs a lot of improvement. Your cashouts will usually come on time, but every once in a while they have major problems and delays. Contingency plans when problems arise don't seem to exist at FT. HOWEVER, when an error occurred with one of my cashouts FT did credit my account with $50. I also received cash on more than one occasion when I was playing during a time when they had network problems. These guys aren't all bad. They make a pretty honest effort to make things right, despite their numerous problems.

Ap is the only site my CC works consistantly with, and i can get a FedEx check from them in 1 week. Stars has incredible support, but tight games. Tilt is a trainwreck. UB had some issues early in the year with support, but seems to have gotten their act together. They have good in-bound and out-bound deposit/withdrawal options also. Right now I am playing at Ap the most because of the easy deposit/withdrawal methods, fishy games, and the badbeatjackpot.

And for the folks that are successful, how many are using 3rd party software? pokertracker, etc?

BTW, what is a LAG?
