i play on bovada,and played on bodog until the U.S. department of INjustice crawled in.the old bodog was cool as far as software,bovada has turned some players against the site becuase of numbered player boxes,and not screen names.alot of players enjoy playing with friends and cant find nuthin but numbers now.as far as carbon is concerned,there wont be any more games there after 2-1-13 anyway.so merge is out basically,with all the skins being bumped off systematically.sigh,if poker stars just had real money games for american players.the best software and whole frkknn package as far as im concerned.everest poker has some killer software too,but i cant find anyone :american: that can get on,shrug,,, i filled out d-l page and cliked on make account just for the hell of it,and sumbitch,im KENTUCKYMEL on everest poker.go figure
