I think prima has closed shop for americans because at around 2:00-3:00 the games dry up completely. I'm kind of a night person, so I was wondering what sites that still allow americans have easily beatable 6max games.

Thanks for the advice. FTR=full tilt I take it? And what about bodogg, I remember checking out way back and the software looking nice.

Never played at bodog myself.
Here's an interesting tidbit we were just discussing on vent:
Open up Stars, look at the average pot size for 25NL, its about $2 (8x BB). Now open 100NL, its about $16-$18 (16-18x the BB).
No one seems to believe me, but 25NL on stars is farking rocky.

EDIT: Think I'm gonna try FT.

Jack you'll get rakeback at Full Tilt, right? PM me if you need to know how.

I think i'm just going to post places that aren't the fishiest in an attempt to steer everyone away from the good places.
Stay away from Stars. Go to Full Tilt. There are no good games at Stars 100 NL...

Played quite some hands at FT. A big disadvantage is that my PO doesn't support it, so not stats. Also I couldn't fill out the bonus code (the box was unclickable) so I didn't get a bonus. Doesn't matter too much because my winrate usually overshadows any bonus, making it peanuts anyway.
About the games, seems to be a bit more aggressive there than at prima. People will reraise you more, and attempt steals etc. And average pot sizes and flop see percentages are somewhat lower than at prima, but nothing compared to rockfests like titan (ie you can't run positive by raising any two because people will call you down with crap sometimes)
But all in all the games seem easily beatable. I didn't win much there now (like $15) because I did many unfavorable call downs at the start to get a feel of hand ranges and betting patterns, plus I was on edge due to some real life stuff and I played like crap. Should be better if I'm calm.
An upside is that there a lot of players and a lot of 6max games going on. Also the software is real cool, especially the option to rotate the table and position yourself anywhere. I was 4 tabling and I could set me up in the 4 corners keeping a good overview.
About rakeback.. I just checked but it only works if you don't have a FT account already, so I'm screwed in that department  .
EDIT: forgot to mention.. compared to prima where minbetting is the cool thing to do, on FT it seems the fad is to overbet the pot. Also there's a ton of chronic slowplayers.

The Stars games are still very beatable. Unlike Limit, No Limit gives you the weapons to beat really weak guys who bet/raise the cheap streets.

They had really really really really really good games though at one point. Almost Live Poker good. Absurd amounts of action.

Hm, today it plays a lot more prima-style. Probably a perception thing that it seemed more aggressive yesterday because I was sucking ass.
Also, I got $20 from my bonus today. After many months of playing poker, my first bonus ever! lol

I swear it was better than live poker at one point, at least live they are embarrassed when they have to flip up that rag rag they called 30% of their stack off with pf.

Not sure. VC's TOS certainly says no US customers.
