As of September 1, 2016 this is where the poker action is at for residents of the United States on sites that pay fast:
(in order of # of players/action)
- Bovada (soon to be Ignition - October 1st 2016)
- Winning poker network (americascardroom or blackchippoker are good skins)
- Seals with clubs (swcpoker.eu)
Bovada has pretty constant micro stakes action all the way up to high stakes action at NL Holdem, PLO, limit holdem, omaha8. All of the tables are anonymous.
WPN is mostly low/mid stakes action. Sometimes there will be a high stakes NL, PLO, O8...but for the most part it's low and mid stakes.
SWC is more about learning new games to me. There is only a small amount of action but they offer quite a few games that the other sites don't such as triple draw and chinese poker.
All of these sites take bitcoins as deposits and withdrawals are a couple days or less. Hours on swc.
