Hey TPE nation! I’ve been playing poker for about 7 years mostly live cash and pokerstars tourneys briefly 4 years ago with good results in the $4.40 160. I have been a poker dealer in Louisiana the past two years and want to start making tournaments my choice of playing. What is the online poker room I should be playing on? Have researched black chip, America’s cardroom, and lock. Thanks to everybody who replies! Have watched the getting started tpe u vids the past week and can’t wait to get started online again
Welcome! While Merge offers the best software imo, i think True Poker has the best cashout times and even a better schedule and softer fields. If you get their debit card you can cash out in TWO DAYS.
Some info on getting rakeback with them if you are interested:

I second everything Killingbird has said. Especially the part about Lock. Have had a cash out pending since July and have a nice roll stuck there. I mainly play carbon poker(merge network) and true poker(winning network). Bovada has nice soft tournaments but they do not have synchronized breaks. That’s a deal breaker for me. I like being able to walk away for 5 minutes every hour.
I play exclusively on Bovada. They have soft fields and anonymous players. By anonymous I mean that every tournament that you sign into your “screen name” is the number that you signed into the tournament. So if you were the 301st player to register, your screen name for that mtt is “301”. Any notes that you take during your session are wiped clean as soon as you or the other player busts, even if that player is playing on another table durning the same time.
A lot of guys don't like this, but I love it. I have a tracking software called “Tournament Indicator”, which isn't the best tracking software, but to my knowledge it's the only one that works on Bovada, giving me a distinct advantage. The stats are reset after each session on Tournament Indicator, except for your own.
I would recommend that you sign up for all of the sites mentioned, and play in the play money section for a while in each one. It will give you a feel for the software and such, giving you time to learn the ins and outs of each site before you put money on there.
Good luck and let us know where you pick and why!
