This used to be a favorite post of mine. I would write about what new sites had opened, what their features and sign up bonuses were. I would rate the "Top Twenty" sites I had accounts in and explain why. I would highlight the new addition and explain the reasons I cut the other sites.
But with the death of NetTeller, thanks to an exiting Republican Party trying to hang on to office at the last minute, the flood of poker sites has dried up.
I only know of eight poker sites that accept US players and the internet banker - ePassport, for deposits and withdraws. Here I rank them according to events, safety, and looks:
The KING
1. Poker Stars - the best by far
The next three are all good sites.
2. Full Tilt Poker
3. Absolute Poker
4. Ultimate Bet
Endangered List - these sites don't have a large volume of players. I worry they might dry up and take my money like Jet Set Poker did.
5. Jungle Poker - nice site, low amount of players
Cashed out of the site:
6. True Poker - Great graphics, but few tournaments. Considering a return however for the winter. I can schedule my day to play in the few they have.
7. Bugsy's Club - Nice software but no players
8. Poker4Ever - No Players
Sports Betting and Poker Sites.
They don't have an easy way to fund or collect from, so I am going to win enough to cash out by mail or lose what I have there this football season. I have them listed in my preference of their poker software.
9. World Poker Exchange - No rake on ring play. Nice software
10. Sportsbook - Nice software, no players
11. BoDog Poker - Plenty of players but I don't like the poker software or the look.
All other sites either don't take US players or cannot be funded thru ePassport. So there are your nine options and some sports books that also have poker rooms. If you go thru the trouble of funding them, you got a virtual Vegas casino on your computer.
I'm waiting for one of these sportsbooks with poker to go the ePassport route.
Hope this helps your fall and winter poker enjoyment. - Nik Faldo

He's trying to give me the doubletalk or sumpin'.

I fixed it. That is what happens when you write and play at the same time.
How 'bout a friendly game of poker
Let that poker game video serve as a reminder to wives who are serving their husbands food and drink while playing on Tuesday night.
I would suggest leaving out the shooting of the foot as that may damage her high heels.
wasn't there a visa card you buy/reload at walgreen's option that you once mentioned Nik?
I use Discover Card.
