It's up in the air on it being the Department of Homeland Security pressure or they had processor shutdown issues that made them insolvent. I'm sure more information will be coming out soon.

Instead of the market really going up since(black) friday, i think just the opposite has happened. I talked to a couple of friends yesterday and they didnt even know some site were operating. they only played on the big 3/4. Except for us hardcorers i think alot of players quit playing altogether and these small site just wanst making the revenue they were expecting. but i dunno just a thought

Thats not true,theres at least a half dozen other networks that usa players can play on besides those two,and Merge's days are numbered since they continue to process credit cards through US banks under the guise of a charge other than gambling.

What network is this on? Is this affiliated with america's cardroom?

My favorite site so far is Bovada...I think that is the best site for US.
