Word up. Online poker in the USA is awful. I stopped playing sometime around Spring or Summer due to lack of games on Carbon and lack of motivation. Also, the rake is a killer. Even at micros, I feel like you really got to be on your game and/or have some megafish to overcome it. I fired up some games recently just to scratch that itch and mainly to get back in shape for live poker. Tunica WSOP is around the corner. There's an off chance I may go to Vegas in February, too.
I thought about playing on Bovada because the number of players looks pretty good, but I'm pretty reluctant because (1) I've heard nothing but sketchy things about BoDog/Bovada over the years (2) the anonymity rules they have seems like a deal breaker - poker is all about reads and history (3) I love my HUD too much to have to use a different one or none. I really like Carbon, but the traffic is a problem.
