Some online poker rooms are not open to US residents. Fortunately, there are still several sites which are more than happy to scoop rake and tournament fees from American players. Availability of online poker to US residents isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
You can register a new account for free to participate in regularly scheduled freerolls and most offer significant initial deposit bonuses. US money poker sites offer these initial deposit bonuses which can payout anywhere from 100-200% of your initial deposit. For new players this means, deposit $500 and earn up to $1000 with a 200% initial deposit bonus.
These bonuses are earned by accumulating frequent player points (FPP’s) from playing ring games, tournaments and sng’s. Check each site’s FPP earning schedule to determine how best to accumulate FPP’s. Some sites offer “Happy Hour” where FPP’s are accumulated at a faster rate.
So are you still player poker for a living? I’m guessing you moved to Florida. From what I hear, decent Holdem players are cleaning up because of the recent rule changes and the old players have not yet adjusted to the larger buy-in’s at the casinos. Good luck.
New, thank God they changed those rules. I was there a few years back and trying to play $5/$10 and only being able to buy in for $100 was ridiculoussssssssssss…It took too long, but better late than never.

I agree. I remember seeing a new $5/$10 opening and everyone sat down with $100. It was an all in push fest until everyone had about $500 behind.
Pretty much agree, if you can’t play deep stack why play at all.
