not to derail but is merge swarming with US regs? I was considering putting some money on there but if im just gonna be grinding RB there isnt much of a point.

Euro sites that i tried yet (only 2-5$/€ levels on normal speeds):Boss Network (Poker Heaven, Interpoker etc...) : they offer 30% rakeback (+20% the FD bonus).  (about the blind levels, structures... : http://www.husng.com/content/boss-network) I tried, but it's too fast for me, and the blindstructure is so bad) The traffic is low. Microgaming Network (Ladbrokes, Unibet, Coolhand, Purple Lounge, Nordicbet...) : rakeback same as Boss. Not too many games on micro stakes, and the blinds increases after certain hands, not after certain minutes :( Ongame Network (bwin, RedKings, Betsson, Betsafe, Tower etc..) : the fee is 10%!Software is "not very good" :) There are 8min normals and 3 min. turbos, from 1$. The blindstructure is fast : 10/20 , 15/30 , 25/50 , 50/100 , 75/150 , 100/200 , 100/200/20 , 200/400/40....You get 62,5% rakeback when you sign up for a 8pp/$ signup bonus, so with this offer you can reduce the fee below 5%.(so it's nearly equal with FTP+27% rakeback)The traffic is good. The networks/sites, that i not tried for HU SnGs yet:-Everest Poker : there are only 1-2 games running, so this is not the site for HU SnGs :)-PKR : bad structure, and 1-2 games running.-Bodog : 1 game running:)-iPoker Network (Titan, Chili, bet365, Winner etc...) : You can get ~50% rakeback with FD bonuses. The fee is 5% and there are normal, turbo and superturbo games. The traffic is good. Blind structure is (7 min for normal, 4 min for turbos):10/20 , 20/40 , 30/60 , 50/100 , 75/150 , 100/200, 150/300-PartyPoker : terrible fee (20%) and no games below 5+1$ level.-Entraction Network (NoIQ, DevilFish...) : no info.-888 Network (888, Littlewoods, LuckyAce..) : no info. Hope it helps somehow.I'm playing on Stars, 5$ normals. I'm thinking about iPoker, maybe this is good, but i heard, that there are "only" rake/bonusgrinding regs. So i don't know... :( If anybody has experience about iPoker, 888 or Entraction please share with us!:)  

Doubtful puminator, but it makes sense for somebody with choices to play on euro sites (or at least I can believe that it's the right decision).I would be surprised if the double digit buyin levels on Merge were more difficult than Stars/FTP.  The main issues are likely higher stakes, there just aren't likely to be enough non regs to make it a great place to play for $200+ players that don't find it worthwhile to move down a little.People that make 200k+ a year in husngs (and remember, sharkscope type leaderboards don't include rakeback, staking nor profit from stuff like cash) may not find it worthwhile to play and earn 50-100k a year when they can spend a few weeks of work figuring out and executing on the idea of a US citizen living abroad.

Spilveni,Have you checked out our deals on http://rakeback.husng.com/ yet?Our normal MGR clearance is 250MGR for a free premium membership and 125 MGR for a standard membership.  For example, if you look the Eurobet deal, it's 30% rakeback, 30% loyalty signup bonus and 250 MGR (or equiv of euros/pounds).It's likely there will be some other special promo deal soon.  I'm not sure what it will be.  Since our market is heads up players, we can't just look for the best deal anywhere, it has to be on a network with heads up poker traffic (luckily heads up games are popular enough not to limit us too much, but for example, player prop type deals usually don't include heads up players, we can't really justify promoting something that won't benefit the market nor likely draw interest from the market).
