Bovada only lets you play four tables, the majority of grinders that play on Bovada also play on another site or sites.
So yesterday you just replace your four Bovada tables with four tables from your other site. Not a big deal.
Btw, the economy is pretty ****ty everywhere. Its easy to say why bother with poker when you can easily make that money getting a day job. Not everyone can get a day job that pays as much for 1/100th of the work. Life for a lot of folks is a hustle. You do what you can do to make a few bucks and despite its problems, smoking cigarettes and sipping an iced tea while you click a button on ****ty US sites for $30 an hour beats the hell out of digging a ditch 8 hours a day for $10 an hour.
Having said that I understand your point, grinding US poker in 2013 isnt ideal and isnt for everyone.
Also, not everyone is a grinder. Some people just want to come home from work and play a table or two of poker for fun. Bovada is perfectly fine for that.
