Hey guys,Does anyone use any sites other than those indicted to play HU? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Bonus points if it's actually possible to get money into those accounts.Thanks!
Ah right, well you've got Carbon, Bodog, Victory and RPM (i think?). Plus there are probably some others. I would be vary wary about putting large amounts of money on these sites though, as they may be next in line to be shut down.
Victory is part of UB/AP now I believe (or were close to moving there).I think Carbon (Merge network of which RPM is a part of) Cake network (many skins on there) and Bodog are the primary choices. I've heard UB is still taking US players.I'm going to add this in there too so it's not misinterpreted: Make sure you're allowed to play on these sites where you live before signing up.Also keep in mind that even if you're legally allowed to play on any of these sites where you live, there are a few things to be aware of:- Legal action by governments such as the US could impact your play on any of these sites, even if you live in say Germany or the UK. Players in the UK playing legally on PokerStars were impacted yesterday as the US indicted a few employees/owner of PokerStars. Make sure you don't have a significant amount of your "life roll" on any of these sites.- These sites are much smaller than FTP and Stars. As such, you may have to wait longer for action, the sites may also not operate as smooth.
Does anyone know what the response time and minimum cashouts are at Bodog? I tried Carbon, and I did like the site and the software. The players are about equal in quality to Bodog too. However, the cashout proccess was a total pain in the ass. I had to send photocopis of some document they emailed me, photo copies of my drivers license, pat my head / rub my belly, take a picture of my drivers licence because they said they couldn't read the scanned copy, jump on foot, then 3 weeks later I had my check. Oh .. and I had to pay a $20 dollar fee to cash out $120!!As far as players go, the fields are so soft on both of these sites, it's unbelievable. These players are like make baby jesus cry bad, at least at the lower buy-ins .. The $5.00+.25 level is the lowest buy-in. The players that played the $1.00+.10 at FT and PS play for stakes high enough to make iit worth your time on Carbon and Bodog. It's good for $10 an hour or so while you build a bankroll back up.
Where are you from?
