Get creative. The biggest usa facing sites have no limit freerols running most of the time, and i see that carbon is going to have a promotion with freeroll mtt's also.

Build up your account from those, and then you can play the 2 cent plo, 4 cent plo or 4 cent nl omaha, and there is sometimes a 5 cent plo on winning.

There are good serious grinders in these games as well as spewing tilting fish. You just need to beat the natural variance of omaha to get ahead, and consistent enough to beat the rake. Honestly I dont think there is even one single site nowadays offering omaha as a freeroll option to usa players.

Carbon also offers its own Odds Calculator free. Just sayin...

If you're playing no limit cash games I would suggest Black Chip poker over either of those two sites. Having said that, those are the top 3 U.S. facing sites right now.

Hey all. Currently playing on Carbon/Merge, looking for other options. I mainly play 25 and 50 NLFR, use HEM/HUD, 6-8 tables. Any recommendations?

can someone tell me how tracking software works on bovada? it looks anonymous.

You won't find a lot of FR action outside of Merge that is HEM compatible. If you're willing to mix in 6m, you can add Intertops (invitation only) or WPN (though at those stakes I don't recommend it unless you are going to grind out a decent amount of hands per fortnight so you place high in The Beast).


It tracks on a per session basis, no more, no less.

is that why i see players get up after big scores. to reset their play?

low stakes is very soft.

More likely it's ratholing.

Hey guys, I'm a player on SWC right now, but there are so few games on there and I want to toss $300 or so onto a bigger site. I'm primarily a MTT'er, but I am mixing in some cash games as well and am looking to grind up in them as well.

From what I've read so far, it seems all these sites have issues a lot of the time. What is considered to be the most stable site? (Fewest crashes, glitches, etc.) I guess I am trying to balance that with the best player pool as well, so I'm interested in what you guys have to say. I'm not a great player by far, and probably not even "good." That's primarily my interest in adding a site, to start building a DB to track my play and learn against a bigger pool. Thanks!

^^ Bovada has the best MTT schedule for US players right now, by far. Probably the most stable in terms of software and such. But the Winning Poker Network (America's Cardroom, Black Chip Poker, and True Poker for US) is burgeoning in that regard too. Merge (Carbon/Aced Poker and Pokerhost) is struggling a bit, but also offers a decent MTT schedule with arguably the best software among the bunch.

Given your description I'm going to say Bovada probably best for you to try out. Merge would be a decent spot and if you prefer turbo MTTs then perhaps WPN or Intertops (though these two have considerably less volume of MTTs, they are smaller in stakes and turbo mostly).

How is the rake at Bovada? Also, I've seem a program listed for sale that converts Bovada's HH's for tracking, is this the only way to track my play there?

does anyone else experience the bovada cashier lag? holy **** its bad. its like the entire app grinds to a crawl.

You can download all HH from Bovada, but without a converter, you can't import them into PT or HEM.

Its a toss up between bovada and winning poker network. Until this month i might say go safe on bovada. But ive been staying logged on to winning as i have good selections of no limit, plo, sitngo, mtt's.

I will pass on recommending a particular Winning skin however. I play mostly late night and beyond, so i have not had the problems with crashes.

I just like that the tables keep filling back up pretty good in omaha, and i can play some no limit mtt's at the same time.

I remember logging on there in the past, maybe a yr ago, and lucky to have 1 sit n go, and sparse tables to select. Since you asked opinions, I'd say give the Winning network a shot first. Good luck.

Hi all, where is the best option to play if I am looking to deposit through CC or bank account? I don't use WU or Moneybookers(?) or some of the other stuff these sites offer.

I also have a paypal account.

All the US sites short of SWC accept CC, typically only VISA. Whether or not your particular card works at any given time on any given site is a matter of chance.

^^ *tips cap

I'm a US Player. I've been away way too long. Was an active player on RPM (just learned they sold out, etc) and had an active account there. Anyone know where I can sign up to play and have my account funds moved there?

Thanks in advance...

If you still have funds on RPM, you should be able to transfer your funds to Carbon, Aced, Sportsbook, or Players Only.

Thank you

Looking for a new site guys other than Carbon. I typically play HU sngs, 6 person SNGS and the occasional scheduled tourney. Where would you guys suggest other than Carbon

I'm currently playing on Bovada (love it), but they only offer 6max hyper SNGs > $30. Are there any other sites open to US players that have good 6max hypers running?

Also, can someone point me in the direction where a hyper strat group or forum would be?

Thanks!!

Check out merge (carbon,aced, pokerhost, etc) They nearly always have pretty good hyper action and some decent SNG leaderboards to go along with it.

Also WPN (ACR, BCP) runs them but I'm not sure exactly how often they run
