Traffic at what game(s) and stake(s)?

Betonline. Since its new ownership about a year ago I have both experienced and heard nothing but good things. Traffic is constantly growing. Cash games and sng traffic is great. Particularly cash. Way more cash games then WPN. mtt traffic tho is terrible. Cash outs by all forms are great in speed. Bitcoin cashouts in hours, WU/MG cashouts in 24 hours, paper checks in 5-10 days. Constant live chat/phone support available
If you Google Betonline you will see a lot of negative. This is mostly all from when it was owned by other people. I think that bad reputation still follows and hurts them but I also have been noticing it growing to be without a doubt one of the highest trafficked USA friendly sites out there today

Are they ever going to do something about that awful black panel to the right of every cash table?

Nope, and this is the sole reason why I did not deposit there. I don't want massive blackjack tables to the right of my tables. You can only get rid of them if you are playing 4+ tables.

Probably not. They are a sportsbook and a casino first. Poker is an afterthought... like it is at almost all US-friendly sites.

Small stake MTTs and maybe a few SNGs? Been out of the scene for a while.

Bovada AINEC

The blackjack doesn't even WORK anymore. Now it's just a big huge black panel with a transfer chips control at the bottom and an error graphic where blackjack used to be.

I agree it's ****ty. But it's a simply solution. As soon as you open the client, open and sit at 3 empty 1cent/2cent tables. Sit out. Minimize. Now every table you open that your actually gonna play on you can immediately hide that casino panel. Would it be better if it just wasn't there? Sure. Is doing what I said so big a deal that I'd rather play harder games on another site? Absolutely not

If you don't like it that much that's your right I'm not hating on you, but that's the sole reason you don't play there? Imo the games are well worth doing what I just described above and sitting out st 3 empty 1cent/2cent tables right away so every table you open from there on out you can right away hide that part of it. It's an in convince for sure. But not like the end if the world. Their fast and reliable cash outs and soft player base is worth this inconvience in my opinion

Then again I'm sure I'd probably be at bovada if I didn't live in maryland. Probably will be there in the next 2 months as I'm in the process of finding a place in PA anyway, totally unrelated. But cash games are crap on WPN, so I guess really what other option do I have other then making sure on BOL I am sitting at 4 tables even if not playing 4

I'm confused. What does sitting at 3 empty, minimized tables do for you when opening future tables?

The blackjack window can be closed when one is on 4 or more cash game tables.

OH! Thanks!

Are there any sites available from New Jersey that have microstakes limit games running regularly?

If you mean fixed limit holdem, the answer is no, not really. I've seen games pop up here and there on Chico Network (BetOnline and Sportsbetting.ag) but the games don't run "regularly" Then again, no one sits at the tables regularly to start them...

Hello,

It's been a while since I posted on here. I am now back in the US and I am looking for a site to casually play tourneys on. I play multi table SNG and bigger tournies, usually with a $2-$10 buy-in.

Which site available to US players provides good tournies like these?

Thanks a lot!

Bovada

Bovada will cap you at 4 SNGs maximum. If you want to get in more volume along with Bovada, or play on other sites entirely, I suggest looking into Winning Poker Network (America's Cardroom, Black Chip, Ya Poker, True), Equity Poker Network (Full Flush Poker), Chico Poker Network (BetOnline, Sportsbetting.ag).

I think so, yes.

Bitcoin is becoming pretty popular these days because it's fast and cheap.

What are the top US sites for HU cash?

Are there any US sites [other than Bovada] that spread anonymous HU tables?

Addendum: Been reading through the thread and realize I should have answered this in my OP: 400NL+ HUHU cash. I realize no site's going to have a ton of action, but I'm sure there's some... Right!?

BOL has a good amount of HU and 4max cash games in the higher limits

No anonymous games other than Bovada.

Other sites you might check include Winning Poker Network and Chico Poker Network.

Is there any reason you rec'd BOL rather than SportsBetting [or other US-centric Chico skin]?

I think those are the only 2. And no there's no reason but only because I have no experience with SB. from what I can see there are no obvious benefits of one over the other. But what I can tell u is I have a alot of experience with BOL and I can honestly say I feel safe with my money being on there and my cashouts have always been very fast and easy experiences.

And I can also say I have a good bit of WPN cash game experienced and I don't play there anymore. The games suck imo. BOL/SB software sucks and can be annoying but there's a reason why that = way softer games

This is all just my opinion and experience

They are the same company, on the same network, offering the same games, run by the same staff, etc etc.
