US Poker Sites

#1 16th November 2011, 6:22 AM

Have any american players found any sites that they have fallen in love with. I'm a Multi Table Tournament kind of guy so I'm looking for a site with alot of traffic, but Carbonpoker just isn't doing it for me anymore. Also a fan of Gaurn. Tournies would love to hear feedback.

I'm thinking CakePoker any feed back possitive or negative on that site?

#3 16th November 2011, 6:42 AM

Unless I'm missing something...
Other than Merge Network sites (Carbon), the Cake Network rooms (Cake, Colt, Intertops) seem to be the only real option for US players.

Both Merge and Cake network MTTs seem to have many more Rebuy tournaments than Freezouts.

CakePoker is alright, but there arent many MTT's running at a time. I've seen the schedule they have, its pretty weak.

The majority of Tournaments with a decent payout at Carbon are unlimited rebuy which gets old fast, I love playing poker the government is making it harder and harder so much for freedom hah

True.
Also, some are frequently cancelled for not having the min number of registered players

I know they're having two meetings about legalizing it in Congress this week. Obviously they aren't going to flip a switch and turn on amazing sites but if you've been waiting since april it might be worth it to wait and see what happens for another week. Maybe they'll come out with something on par with pokerstars or FTP, who knows.

Just seems worth it to wait another week. Of course you could always just cash it out and move it to the new site.

Anyone know a schedule of the hearings? I just saw they were this week sometime.

Yeah, I use to play MTT's on pokerstars and there were so many games running at once. It feels like nothing can compare to it anymore because the U.S. sites now are just... incompetent lol. But, who can complain, the sites there for us to play on.

Cake poker is a huge downgrade to Carbon. I think carbon/merge is ur only choice, other U.S site are major downgrade.

#10 16th November 2011, 7:41 AM

Hotshot if congress would rule in Online Pokers Favor, what's to stop FTP or PT from just allowing US players again. PS and FTP are still functioning sites I feel like it would take minimal effort to legalize it

#11 16th November 2011, 8:14 AM

Well pokerstars might have a shot but seems like tilt would be quite a battle. Assuming Americans are logical which could be assuming alot. Also it seems as though they want to legalize something that would keep it in america possibly even within whatever state it is.

I'm not super informed because I'm just waiting to hear it's legal again and just happen go read those on my check up today. It definitely seemed as though simply allowing players wasn't an option.

I bounce back and forth between Merge and Bodog.

Not as good as the old FT/PS but times have changed....

at least my state (Mass) just passed the new casino bill !

Soon we won't have to drive 100 miles to Mohegan Sun or Foxwoods !

Your best bet would be to deposit money on a few different sites that way you could have the benefit of looking at the different tournament schedules from each site.

If your looking a Cake Poker Network then go with Intertops. They share the same player pool and they process their own cashouts and are much much faster then Cake Poker.

As mentioned above another option is Bodog.

The remaining sites/networks don't have a lot of Guaratneed tournaments and lean more towards Rebuy/Addons but if you have the BR you could make a small deposit on the other Networks like Everleaf(Minted Poker) and Yatahay(True Poker or America's Card Room).

+1 regarding Everleaf, payouts have been pretty quick for US players from what I've heard. Minted Poker is offering 40% rakeback and a 400$ sign up bonus that isnt that tough to clear. Network is linked to Italian traffic so there is guaranteed action.

PM me for details on rakeback

#15 24th November 2011, 4:55 AM

Decided to go back to Carbon I'm going to give minted poker a look though

#16 24th November 2011, 5:01 AM

you try iintertops or cake same thing kinda or lock poker.

is rakeback automatic or you have to find a site to receive rakeback. ust wonderin. ive been playin without rakebak?

#17 30th November 2011, 7:02 PM

I like Intertops. They have a bunch of GTD tournaments that usually don't get enough people to match the guarantee. Usually 80-120 people depending on the buy-in. The competition is very soft also, and the software ain't bad. Try it out.

If you been playing without Rakeback you may not be able to get it.

I'm not sure if I understand you fully, but if your speaking about Rakeback on Intertops they pay it a little different then most sites. They pay it daily, but only once you've earned $10 in Rakeback. For example, if you earned $5.75 in Rakeback the first day and then $6 in Rakeback the second day you wouldn't get anything on the first day. The second day however you would receive $10 with the $1.75 going towards the next day. Make sense?

Sorry if I was confused about what you were saying.

Yes you are right on both accounts. Many times they have guarantees with not enough ppl and also I think the soft probably a large percentage is from Russia based countries.

I also have never had a problem with the payouts from them.
