The top site for US traffic right now is Bodog. No rakeback, anonymous tables, 4 table limit - everything most people on 2+2 didn't like. When they went to anonymous tables, the forums were outraged. Yet look where they are now.
I've played on Bovada, a lot, and I've gambled on sports, a lot. Sports betting is huge. If you're already on the site and like it, then may as well play there. One of the main things recs like, and so do I, is the ability to play hands that don't involve third party software.
And, if you want to play a lot of hands, you play Zone poker. The biggest downside to bodog/bovada is no rakeback. If there is anything to convince some of those players to go elsewhere, it's that.
Recs don't need huge tournament prizes. They don't need to play a pro amount of volume to qualify for "x." Open up Cafrino, and you'd probably see hundreds of people playing for a tournament with a prize pool of 20 cents. Seriously. It always blows my mind. And that software is beyond bad.
I like this site, minus the constant disconnects during busy times. I would just like some rakeback option, even if only a few people could actually unlock/earn (I'd actually prefer). The cash game player base, at least, has stagnated. I'm not sold on this either or thing (rakeback = zero tournaments).
