    I just took my money off stars (Looking for a site with rakeback). I play mostly Limit HE Cash Games. So I'm looking through various sites with cashback and there doesn't seem to be much action anywhere! Where did it all go?

    FTP and Stars are the only ones I see with action in the Limit games. But I don't wanna play those sites. Any suggestions.

    Online Poker seems to be dying.

    Stopped allowing sign ups? or playing?

    OP -- stars/FTP are your best bets. Why not play on them? party may be your next best option.

    .

    I was trying to register for Hero Poker this morning, but it wouldn't accept my address - so I shot David an email, and he replied "As of a couple of days ago, Merge Network has made the decision to no longer accept players from the state of New York."

    Not sure if that means you can still play if you are already signed up and have already made a deposit, but to be honest, this new information probably would keep me from wanting to play there at this point, even if I had the option.

    Yeah, that's why I'm concerned. I'm playing on Hero with no issues, but I'm worried about what this means for the future.

    It really sucks because David is so responsive, and keeps a presence on P5's - that was really the reason I wanted to give them a chance over Cake, who has no reps here afaik.

    I play on Lock Poker. It isn't good for mtt tourney's. It's ok for cash/ring games. I play 50nl 6max and 25nl HU.

    MTTs are improving though. I actually play MTTs half the time and cash games the other half. I can put in a decent schedule most nights that I play by playing all $10-$70 Omaha and Holdem tournaments. Not ideal, but it works.

    Also higher gtds for existing mtts and new tournaments have been added over the past month. Switched from 10 to 9 person tables as well. The sunday major went from 50k to 100k i think. Definitely getting better and will hopefully continue to improve.
