I am unable to play on the big poker sites in the US. So, which sites that are accessible would you say are trustworthy?

I've read a number of unfavorable posts regarding sites such as Bovada. Your thougts?

Thanks!

Bovada anonimizes the players, so your HUD will only work for the tournament you're in at the time.

Other Americans here seem to play America's Cardroom. Marc Alioto probably has a referral link for you if you want to try them out.

This anomynity is really what concerns me. Seems to me that it would be quite easy to rig the outcome with bots. Or am I being a little paranoid?

If Bovada is rigged with bots, i hope they rig it more as it is the site I have most of my profit on 🙂

Seriously though, I would not worry to much about bots, collusioin, etc in MTTs.

I play on ACR and Bovada and am quite happy with both in terms of schedule, softness and payouts. It's important to remember though, that as Americans we are playing on unregulated sites, so none of them are ever going to be 100% safe. Its the nature of the beast for us in the US unfortunately.

Kinda what I thought. The negative reviews are probably from shitty players that do not understand variance. Which MTT's do you prefer?

The ACR $30 10K GTD is a must play for me every night. $55 5K is also a good one.

Bovada pretty much everything from $11-33 is really good, and of course the Bovada $55 35K every night!

How are you guys currently getting money onto bovada? I played there for a while over a year ago and loved it, but since then I started grinding live cash games alot. Im starting to focus more on tourneys again and tried to deposit on bovada the other day and they werent accpeting my visa cc. If theres any tricks you guys know please share, I want to start mixing bovada and ACR.

I used a Chase Liquid Visa pre-loaded debit card. It's very safe.
