Looking for a new site to play on

I have been out of the loop for awhile, pretty much since ftp stop accepting us players. I still play on bodog for time to time but they just dont have enough traffic. So I guess the question I am asking is where are all the US players play at these days. I really only ever played on ftp, stars, and bodog so I dont know know much about other sites. I miss poker, please help.

Carbon is the only other good option for US players in my opinion.

i tried getting on carbon a few days ago and it say they weren't accepting US players at this time.. im currently playing Betonline the software isn't to great very basic, and i don't like the general structure of the tournaments i've been playing in (i've only played in freerolls but i can only assume the regular tournaments are similar in structure, but they offer small freerolls every hour on the hour). Cake poker has a lot better software and the structure of the tournaments i've played in are similar to that of pokerstars and fulltilt i like it a lot more. intertops very similar to cake ( i think they are actually on the same network it really seems like it)

To confirm this i just tried registering at carbon again and still says they aren't accepting us.

Thanks guys for the info I guess I will stick with bodog for now. I feel much more comfortable with my money on there anyways.

I recommend bluffbet.com.. Soft players and decent rakeback.

Have you cashed out? If so how smoothly did it work?

Carbon poker seems not to be accepting US players right now. The only ones I know is GoHardPoker and poker rooms of this network.

Thats the only bad thing about Bluffbet, larger withdrawals takes 1-3weeks some times, however smaller withdrawals usually go within a couple days.

Friend transfer is possible though so you can swap with someone if your in a hurry

Pokersite

I have played for yrs on PPN - Poker Pro's Network.. http://ppnpoker.eu/
In fact, they had a pro bounty series of tourneys to win a seat into a wsop event in Vegas. Well, I got 2nd but winner could not go so I got the seat but 2nd place paid $1000. I'm actually in this months bluff Magazine on page 3 I think it is with my entry ticket... its on the cake network but they accept US player there and I use my PicClub acct to put funds on there.. They have 2 PPN only freerolls if you just want to join and try it out.. Nothing lost there and they have a chat room. Tell em DaPirate sent ya. Hope to see ya there

Congratulations Pirate, that is awesome.
Pedro, Carbon is supposedly going to be accepting new US players soon, but no time frame yet. CardsChat is going to be getting regular games going on Intertops, it is very similar to Cake. If you don't already have it, use the search feature and dl through the CC link.

i'm playing on lock right now, but i will try in a few minutes to log-in to carbon; i downloaded it but have not opened an account yet... i'll post the result after trying . . .

sorry for a possibly dumb question, but what is a PicClub Account, in reference to being able to deposit onto ppn?
thanks

This is a site where you can deposit funds and deposit them into poker accts from there and withdraw back to your pic acct. Merge does not take this method any longer but many other sites do take it.

Well if you had asked before depositing on a cake site, I'd have advised against it. I am trying to get out of Cake because they require $500 for min withdraw!!! They don't tell you that when you make a $50 deposit. i see no option I like for playing at this time. I am on cake, merge, and Bodog and don't like any of em.

What exactly are you looking for? There are sites with fast Cashouts and RakeBack besides Cake, Merge, and Bodog. What games and stakes do you play? There isn't the same type of options that we used to have, but there are still good places to play, IMO.

Also, I would recommend Intertops on the Cake Network over the Cake skin. Intertops processes their own Deposits and Withdraws and are much faster than Cake.

wow,
i had no idea abouit the withdrawal minimum on cake was 500; thanks for saying something;
