What is the best poker site on the internet for someone from the United States?

Question

I'm looking for a website to play poker for money, but I would like the site to have easy cashout procedures and a mix of low-limit/pot-limit tables and tournaments and of course some no limit.

a site with a reputation is a plus.

Answer 1

By far the best overall site for U.S. players is Poker Stars.  They are by far the biggest poker room in the world, the most games and action at anything you want to play, the most trusted software and site, the best customer service, and the easiest deposit methods and quickest cashouts.  Just go through this link and they'll double your first deposit in bonus money up to an additional $50.  http://www.pokerstars.com/?source=kingco...

The best site is fulltilt poker. Since you from USA you will have to deposit with ECheck. This is the best way from someone from USA to deposit there. For withdrawal simply use check. Its easy. You can read more how to do it at http://www.bettingwise.com/fulltiltpoker...

as well as read the fulltilt review.

Answer 4

Poker Stars and Full Tilt are your two best choices.  There are a few other sites that you might like, but the two mentioned above are well rounded and are great for Americans.  Read the reviews, deposit and withdrawal tips, bonus codes, and other great articles at http://poker-lobby.com  Hope this helps!

I highly recommend Intertops (www.intertops.com).  They have poker, sportsbook, and a Microgaming casino all on one site and you can freely transfer your funds from one category to another.  Most credit cards will work here and they have other deposit options as well.  (Personally, I used a Wired Plastic prepaid VISA and have never had a problem.)  For withdrawals, I use wire transfer.  (Wired Plastic is good for this also.)  I have never had a problem cashing out from this site and their withdrawals are very fast, usually within 2 days.

A few of my favorite features of the poker site:  

1)  Rounders Sit-and-Go tables.  If you are familiar with Party Poker, these are similar to their "ladders" tables.  You can buy in at Level 1 for $5.50 (or buy-in at any higher level) to a 10-player Sit-and-Go table and advance to the next level by finishing in the top 2 (for level 1...  higher levels are actually easier...  top 2 for level 2, top 4 for level 3, top 5 for level 4), then at the level 5 table the top 5 out of ten get paid, with first prize being $3000.

2)  Variety of guaranteed money tournaments.  I like the freezeout tournaments with guaranteed cash prizes.  (At many other sites, most of the guaranteed tourneys are re-buys.  I hate those--  there's nothing worse than playing your heart out and then losing to some jerk with a big bankroll who can afford to go all-in and rebuy everytime he gets 7-2-offsuit.)

3)  Leaderboard Freeroll.  Every Sunday they have a $1000 freeroll where only the top 100 customers on their weekly leaderboard are invited (and many of them do not show).  For instance, I am playing in that tourney later today and right now there are only 26 entrants... to a freeroll with a top prize of $500.

4)  Knockout Challenge.  Twice daily, they have Knockout Challenge Bounty tournaments (for every person you eliminate, you get half of their buy-in as a bounty.)  Then, at the end of the month, they give out cash prizes for the top 10 bounty hunters.

5)  Freeroll structure.  They have many $200 and $500 freerolls throughout the day.  The catch is that you have to have at least one raked hand at a table game to enter, and if you have played more raked hands you get extra chips as follows:  1 raked hand= 1000 chips; 10 raked hands= 1750 chips; 25 raked hands= 2500 chips; 50 raked hands= 3250 chips; 100 raked hands= 4000 chips.  So what I do is get a low, fixed limit table (.25/.50 or .50/1), bring in $20 or $30 and sit and play until I have 100 raked hands for the day.  Then, I enter all these freerolls with 4000 chips, which all but guarantees you will finish in the money and gives you a very good shot at making the final table in each one.  Also, since the leaderboard is largely based on raked hands played, doing this a few days a week will get you on the leaderboard and let you play in the invitation-only freeroll.

6)  Excellent customer service.  On the rare occasions that I have needed to contact customer service about anything (maybe 3 times in the 8 years I've played there), they have been very fast and helpful.

I certainly recommend Intertops, they are the only site play at anymore.  (I still have an account with AbsolutePoker as well, but I rarely use it.)  If any of this information was helpful to you and you do choose to sign up at Intertops, I would greatly appreciate it if you would put my referral  ID "stick" in the box on the sign up page where it says "affiliate code".

Answer 7

I would play at Pokerstars. Definitely one of the biggest out there. Lots of pro players play there like Vanessa Rousso, Isabelle Mercier, Daniel Negreau, Joe Hachem, Chris Moneymaker, and so on.

Tournaments literally start every minute or so and they have most every version and variation of poker you can imagine.

Answer 8

absolutepoker.net ... pretty good... just received a check for 800 .... up and down ... now winning by 300, ... decided to cash-out :D

Answer 9

I would avoid Ultimate Bet and Absolute, both have had cheating scandals recently where insiders could see your hole cards, they stole a lot of money from their players.

Here is a link to a blacklist of online sties to AVOID!

Be careful, many casinos in foreign countries are little more than scams and getting your money out can be almost impossible. You will have to use a third party cash processor, with absolutely NO recourse in the event of a problem.

However there are some online sites that offer Poker and Blackjack and are 100% USA legal, which means you are protected by US law in the event of any problems. And you can legally use your credit cards and get paid fast by check.

Good luck at the tables!
