    So, I've been running somewhat decently in the pokerstars cash games recently, and my roll is over 3k now on stars. I am thinking of putting around $500ish of it onto some really unsafe/crappy/shady/etc site because from what I understand, the opponents are on avg much weaker at these sites than at full tilt and pokerstars, thus making the sites more profitable, if you are mainly a cash game player.

    I don't want to put my money on a site that doesn't offer rakeback, as I have never gotten rakeback before of any sort anywhere ever, and I think it would be fun to get some now, so take that into consideration.

    Anyways, so some of the sites I have been thinking about are:

    Cake Poker

    Carbon Poker

    and Absolute Poker

    I DEFINITELY do not give a shit that Absolute had this whole scandal and is obviously a very shady site etc etc. I guess the one and only concern would be that maybe if they go bankrupt and close their site maybe they'll steal whatever money I put on there, but it's probably well woth the risk if the games are as soft on these sites as people have been saying.

    Anyway, out of these three sites, which one would you recommend I choose, or if you think you have a better option than any of those 3 sites in terms of average softness of cash game opponents, and it accepts US players, feel free to mention it.

    Thanks guys,

    I put $500 on absolute to get rakeback. I had a real problem adjusting to the software and pretty much lost most of it quickly. Don't know about the other two. I have a love hate w/ UB.

    Bodog

    If you just want those sites go with Cake. But seriously go with Bodog, its soft, has RB, AND shitty software.
