i'll delete a good nine characters from your message to make it make sense.
i have 6 million 'play chips' on both pokerstars and fulltilt. i played with money 2 times. the burns i got were beyond ridiculous. astronomically unlikely. and not even cause i failed at pushing out chasers. i bet hard and fuck-dummies called and got their miracle card.
i won't respond again to this thread but if you enjoy and appreciate poker i leave with one bit of advice:
PLAY IN PERSON. DO NOT PLAY POKER ONLINE. you can't trust ANY company.
also sidharth, 300 bucks. totally serious on this.
you can play on Carbon poker(or any Merge network site) and Bovada(formerly Bodog). But I wouldn't put too much money on the sites, you'll risk them getting shut down like stars and ftp.
Ultimate Poker is definitely Nevada only. You can't play unless you're playing from a Nevada IP.
SWQ is another option if you're already in on the bitcoin thing, but player pool is pretty small and I wouldn't bother unless you've already got some BTC to play with.

My last hurrah before they shut it all down Was messing around with super aggro style on FTP's rush tables. @ 3b% of 18% and VPIP/PFR of 28/26
Matt I'll play you straight up!

Hello Banshee.
Merge was the biggest network for U.S. players, then Lock poker jumped ship to the Cake network which is now Revolution. Now Merge still has some of it's main skins, but iirc many players and Lock skin moved off to other networks because I think Merge stopped processing cashouts to U.S. players or their processors said fuck you, either way it was a no go to cashout. Black Chip Poker also moved networks from Merge to Yatahay network, which is now calling the Winning Poker Network. (Get to this in last paragraph)
Bovada aka old Bodog poker site, at least to my knowledge, allows most U.S. players to play. There is a small handful of states that are blocked to certain networks because they have increased legislation against online poker/gambling so be aware of that. I did not like Bovada because every player you play with is anonymous, it's set up that way and you can't tell who you're sitting with ever. (unless this changed) At one point someone found a security hack to get by this and it got bad publicity etc etc.
Here and there I play on the Winning Poker Network, which is now Black Chip Poker, America's Cardroom, which used to be the old Doyle's Room on Merge, and I believe True poker which used to be on the old cake network. On top of these main skins they also include all of the large online bookmaker sites that run on the same network to include 5dimes, Bookmaker, Legends, BetDSI, and others I'm sure I'm forgetting.
I've heard cashing out is good on BCP and ACR, they have P2P transfer on both MG and WU, and I think they have a new debit card feature set up. They may or may not have some version of a bank wire, I'm not sure. I play on this network sparingly through my 5dimes account, and the cashout features are great on this (and others I'm sure) bookie site, because I'm even from WA, the most heavily legislated [anti] online poker state in the U.S., and the only thing that is blocked for me is the Fed Ex check by mail, still have all the other options to include a bank wire.
Only downside to the large bookmaker sites on their poker skins is they limit the amount of money sports bettors can gamble on poker... the largest cash tables they have are 2/4, basically I can't see the 3/6+ tables that are available for BCP, True, and ACR.
/end effort post, and good luck.

Not on this topic, I was just an average Joe. Never did tournaments, and when we did the TW stuff I ended up in the middle of the pack. It's fun to play but I will agree it can take all your time.where is ngfm's post
Poker craze is over.
