You can try skillbet if you play at those levels.

By "cake", I am assuming you mean a skin on Revolution network, because the Cake skin is having HUGE cashout issues, with players waiting over 6 months, and having checks bouncing. Stay far, far away from this skin, and just go with Intertops.

Black Chip is the best skin on Merge IMO, and given the limits you play, probably your best option.

Where can I play if I'm in California. I'll keep stakes small and mainly play for entertainment (though I'd like the option to actually cash out at some point).

I would say that carbon or any of the other merge skins is your best bet right now. The Revolution Network is having problems recently and the Winning Poker Network simply just doesn't have enough traffic throughout the day unless you simply want to play cash tables.

I wouldn't say that the Revolution network is having problems. Lock is having some issues while they make the transition from Merge to Revolution. To my knowledge, there hasn't been any new issues with the other skins on Revolution since their transfer from the Cake network.

how do you guys feel about Bovada. I recently decided to check out my old Bovada acct and realize i had enough pts to convert them into tournament tickets just got done playing some SnGs and up to about 75 USD. But im not sure if this is the best option for me now.

I haven't played on Bovada in a couple months but their games are super soft. If you don't mind only being limited to 4-tables or the anonymous players then it's most likely a good choice.

But everyone is anonymous there too which really opens the door to collusion and company bots winning tournaments.

In my opinion, cashouts are the #1 issue for American players....and the best site for that is by far Americas Cardroom on the winning poker network. Super fast and reliable compared to all other American accepting sites.

I'm thinking of depositing money online and playing a little micro/low stakes in effort to improve my overall game. I am a us citizen so I'm not sure if there are legal issues. I like mixed games and being able to withdraw smaller amounts than $500 like some others i have heard of. Thanks for any help.

Personally, I recommend any skin on the Merge network but go here to review your available options; http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28...-edit-1210457/ and decide which site works best for you.

Just realize your money is never safe as a US player.

For MD we are stuck with revolution network only. So hold your nose and take your pick between Lock (proven inept since at least network takeover) and Cake (history of shadiness and super slow cash outs for most). Sad but it is what it is.
