I know that there are still a few sites available to US players. My question is will these sites inevitably be shut down or will they likely be left alone? Or is there just no way to know?

I would say theres just no way of knowing unless you have inside connections,your reg guy like you and me theres just no way to tell
I checked out Bodog, Merge and Revolution and decided to make a deposit on Merge just because they had the most usable software. Stars and Tilt are the ****ing nuts compared to the crap software that these chumpy networks have.
Almost all of the low limit players on Merge are American. I bet once the good poker sites allow Americans again most of these networks that let the Yanks play will die off.
Why offer this advice when it has the smallest player pool?!
ACR/True is a better option than Merge, But is on the same level as Lock but just doesn't have as good of promotions
False.
WPN is a rake rape. Merge is volatile atm. Intertops or nothing for Revolution. Bovada is fine if you're a winning player and can work around the no RB.

Hey guys, new member here, 1st post! Great amount of info in this thread, great site.
Anyways, if I am strictly using p2p transfers for my transactions, which site will give me the best poker experience (traffic, quality of software, etc.)?
From what I have read it seems Lock or Merge are my best options. Just want to be sure.
Hello I haven't played recently in the past 4-6 months so wasnt sure what changed ive played on Carbon most recently but want a change what would be the best place to play, i looked at ACR but i really hate to invest a ton on sites and i like to depot 20-25 and try to run it up does there site allow p2p transfers?

No p2p on merge unfortunately. Best network for sure
So, I started playing on Carbon regularly for about a week running since Black Friday. It appears to be the best option for American players. I'm only at $4NL starting from the bottom working my way up but it's going well so far. The software seems nice and there's enough game at this level.
My worry, though, is about traffic and games at future levels. I checked out the number of tables at $100NL, $50NL, and $25NL and it didn't look so hot. Maybe 1 or 2 tables at each level. This was a weeknight (last night), so maybe it's better on the weekend, but I was just wondering what other American players who didn't move out of the country are doing? Because if that's the best there is to offer, that's pretty discouraging. It's one thing if the games are tougher, but if there's hardly any games running at all, how do you overcome that?
If this is the trend, then I'll probably have to start visiting the casino more often and just have more home games and play online whenever I can't do those things. Anyway, I just wanted to know what others are doing.
Thanks for the link. Looks like Revolution Poker is Lock, Cake, and some others. And, it also looks like Cake has turned into "Juicy Stakes" based on my Rake the Rake account. This could be a tough decision because I have not heard good things about Lock or Cake but if they are getting more traffic, I need a site that at least has games going on. I have a rakeback account on Cake, but I haven't deposited there, so if I give Revolution a try, I'm going to have to figure out a way to get money on the site. I'll check out that thread more in depth and see where that leads me.
