Now i know that Lock Poker has been having alot of problems so i dont know about y'all, but they are not even an option to me. I have only deposited to ACR but i play freerolls on Carbon.

I really do not know much about the poker sites available to US players besides that Bovada, ACR and Carbon are the best.

If players who have played on these sites could please give their input so people like me can choose the best site for them, that would be greatly appreciated.

My favorite site of the 3 is ACR. If your looking for Fish to snack on this is the place to be. Some of their regulars at the cash games are just terrible. They gave me 10 dollars once and I turned it into 150 in 3 days. Every night I would sit down with a player by the name of red pill and take 10 dollars from him. Sometimes even 20. He was horrendous. If you are a tournament player I would recommend carbon they have better options. So if cash game player, ACR, if tournament play on carbon. Sorry I do not know much about bovada

I suggest Carbon I love their tournaments and VIP program isn't what it used to be but its still good enough. Not to mention their withdrawing option isn't that bad compared to others!

Not necessarily the rake. The rake is fine. It's the BBJ/Beast Drop which acts like extra rake. It creates a drag on winrate at NL Cash, for more casual players (i.e. not a huge volume player or higher stakes player or both).

888 does not allow US players.

Merge sites have a lot of tourneys but the cashouts are slow. Acr needs to improve their tourney schedule, but the cash games are good, but the bad beat jackpot games will hurt your winrate but all the games are not BBJ's. Bovada has good games all around but most people hate the anon tables, and they dont have rakeback.

The amount of issues RGN has been having is enough to consider moving rooms entirely.
I play at Juicy and have been doing so for years, ever since it was Cake.
It's not the first time they've had problems with their network and it's not unheard of when happening to other networks.. But it has become too constant.

Thing is, I can't actually find a suitable room to switch to without finding a ton of reasons to avoid them, as well.

:( I truly miss Stars and FT. (not that Stars & FT didn't have HUGE reasons to be avoided, once upon a time lol)

Bovada cash games are stupid fishy all the 6 max tables are 50+ % to the flop. Wish it allowed NY. Carbon/Merge "feels" the most like the old sites (Stars,FTP) and run good tournies I've been doing well in the cash games but even then theres wayyy less fish than bovada (At least % wise) dunno how bovada does for player volume.

Have any US players withdrew from Carbon? How long is the cashout time?

A really important feature to me is customer service. ACR's customer service is excellent. Do Carbon and Bovada have 24/7 call customer service?
