(P.S., I'm also on the East Coast, and agree with your posts in the Internet Poker forums! I'm only on WPN now, but am thinking about depositing on Full Flush)
What I've found in my few days with RIO and IL is that RIO is phenomenal. For higher stakes players, this is clearly the #1 training site out there now. IL is also good but the volume of videos, the focus on too many different things, and the quality of the site, make it far, far less attractive to me.
I'm going to stick with DeucesCracked and RIO. DC is absolutely solid gold for someone at my level right now and the amount of content on that site is just ridiculous. RIO is where I'll watch videos for more advanced content (and in 1080p) and spend more of my time writing on the forums as they have that points system there where you can qualify for a free elite membership each month (which is awesome!).
As for my other posts: These forums can be pretty crazy at times. Being in our market, especially in certain states, can be extremely frustrating in today's US market. It would be nice if WPN would step things up and fill the role they should have months ago but if they don't, indeed, there are other options out there. I don't know how much money you have to work with but if you can only afford to deposit on ONE site right now, deposit on BetOnline. It has so, so much more traffic than both WPN and FullFlush and it has a great MTT and SNG schedule compared to FullFlush (where SNG traffic is pitiful). It has a min deposit bonus of $50 and a 200% deposit bonus that you have three months to complete. It's really not a bad option right now.
