No, there is nothing like that in the US market. The two largest networks, Pai Wang Luo and Winning Poker Network have MTT schedules with similar monthly levels of guaranteed tournaments. Thus, they are your best bet.

The golden era has passed. I'm hoping for a silver age one of these days however. Maybe an attractive woman will win the WSOP ME this year.... that might do it

I ask because:
1. It doesn't seem to install. It runs through the installation but then it seems like it dies at the end perhaps when it is trying to run after the program is installed.
2. The download link says .eu which makes me think it's for European players.
If not what's the download link? And also since I will never deposit more than probably $100 online, is this the best place for low limit, .10-.25, .25-.50 NL and also PLO?
That looks like the right URL. There are very few .com sites that service the USA because the USA can seize .coms and gambling sites don't want the risk. Thus, most offshore sites that service the US use .ag or .eu domains.
If it doesn't install, my advice to you is to uninstall it as best you can. Update your windows, flash, java, quicktime, silverlight, etc. Reboot the computer. Try to reinstall the Ignition poker client.
With regard to whether it's "the best" site, that is subjective. It is the largest of the "
offshore poker sites" available to Americans. It is softer than many of the other options. So many people would agree that it's best. Others may note that it has no rakeback and very little VIP rewards, no heads up display, and is anonymous and say that it is not "the best". It all depends on what you're looking for really.
