What U.S site is best?

hello, I have been playing on carbon for a few months but i am thinking of switching to another site. I love carbon's software but need a change. I heard Bovada was a great site. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I really like bovada. The games are really soft and they are pretty simple. Just keep on grinding.

I concur. Bovada is top dog.

I have been playing Bovada for about a year now and love it. Quick payouts most of the time!!!!

Bovada

Bovada is good. So are both ACR/BCP.

I think Black Chip Poker has surpassed the other sites recently. With the new Sit and Crush promotion, The 15 Days of Christmas promotion, the software improvements and the fact that it now has the most traffic of any US site...I don't think there's any question about it: BCP is the best.

Carbon!!!

Thanks guys. I downloaded Bovada and tried a few mtts. I love that it is anonymous and also seems to have alot more traffic and higher gtds than carbon. I will also give bcp a crack. thanks again for the feedback

You're quite welcome.

I can't use Bovada in my part of New York but I think you'll be pretty happy with it especially if you like the anonymous aspect of the games over there.

Definitely do try BCP, too. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at their software and traffic these days. I can pretty much multi table full ring 24/7 at this point.

Do you have a HUD set up like PT4 or HM2?

good question dealio i was looking for a secure trustworthy site also

No I don't have HUD setup. No poker tracker. Why? Is it really worth it?

If you're going to play on Bovada, you won't get a HUD to work outside of a screen/log scraper like Hold'em Indicator, which isn't a proper tracker. PT4 and HM2 won't import Bovada hands at all, but there are 3rd party converters that will let you import your hands for self-study (no opponent stats, obviously).

Bovada really caters to recreational players and sportsbook/pit gamblers. They hate winning players, which is why they went anonymous... which also makes it a cheater haven. Not sure why any self-respecting poker player would want to play there.

As a US poker player, if it were the only site available to me, pretty sure I'd quit online poker.

How would they cheat in MTT's?

Multi-accounting and collusion, just to name the most obvious ones.

Not much to choose

There aren't many left, that is until New Jersey kicks in. But even those sites are having problems

you can try 888 and its promotion of a 10k freeroll

i´m trying this month 888, i have already downloaded it but not played, but the good thing is that they give you the chance to play for free a mtt with a prize of 10k (it´s a ticket they give it when you download their software)

i feel comfortable in pokerstars and also play in full tilt, but i want to try the different sites too, and therefore i like to start when a promotion is rolling, and prove my luck

Carbon

I prefer Carbon Poker, and this is coming from a guy who only does freerolls. My beef with Bovada is that there tables are completely anonymous, which I don't like. Personally I think the idea of an anonymous player poses the risk of cheating because I don't trust these online poker sites with my money, but that is just my opinion, and I like how carbon poker you can make a profile and win awards with regards to what you have done on their site.

I think they are all Scams. Lottery seats and bad players win more than good players. I dnt know why we cant play at the premium sites ( pokerstars, Ultimate bet.....

Why would you think they're all scams when there's documented evidence proving that deposits and withdrawals are being made on a daily basis? True me: They're not "scams".

Get your head out of the sand, Sir. The only reason you're not playing on one of these networks right now is because you choose not to. If you did - you would be free to withdraw money you've won on them just like the rest of us have and continue to do.

LOL @ Ultimate Bet being "premium" but current US sites are "scams."

Unbelievable, huh?

In my opinion the only way they could be scamming you is if they are pulling some potripper chit. Just seems funny bc i have been playing on carbon for a few months now and cant get nothing big going. I get up to 5 or 6 hundred and end up going on a terrible tilt slide. I was very profitable on full tilt but just cant get any tread on merge.
