What is the best US player site all around, bonus's, rebuy's, rewards, tournaments, sit-in-go's, cash games and even freerolls? Overall I just want to hear everone opinion on where they like to play if they are US players and why? Please dont say because there are more fish their because all sites are full of fish, please. I just want the most bang for my buck and I love tournament play.

players only or carbon as the tourney fields are reasonable and also good value, unlike say full tilt or pokerstars where fields are in the thousands and difficult to cash regularly, also cake network not bad but sit n gos arnt great there

I have been partial to fulltilt lately mainly because BRM has so many freerolls there and of course Chris Ferguson asked me to play there. LOL The large numbers of players just makes it more challenging. WSOP has a large amount of players in Vegas every year so fulltilt is practice for the real thing.

Personally I would suggest you consider how serious you are about playing poker, whether or not you want to deposit and play real money games, or you want a bit of fun and don't mind grinding out freerolls.
Pokerstars is definitely for the more serious player. If you like real money MTTs then Pokerstars is the site to go on. Big fields, better choice and their rewards program does actually reward you in cold hard cash if you can grind away.
Full Tilt is for the less serious fun players who play more as a hobby. Its very gimmicky, and full of freerolls which for newcomers is great, but for serious players, then truthfully, its a bit lame.
Someone mentioned Carbon, this is a great site, and there are ways to earn very good money on Carbon ( or any Merge site ) which include up to 40% rakeback. The ring games have to be seen to be believed. The play is awful. A good player can make a fortune on there, and once again, they do reward you for grinding away. With 40% rakeback, and a cash rewards scheme, personally I love it. Make a nice deposit, grind away at teh ring games and watch the money come in...
THE BEST SITE FOR ITS VARIETY and functionality for me is pokerstars. I love its range of smallbuyin sit n go's that can see the most miniscule of bankroll holders ('like me usually') turn 2 cents into a few dollars. There's not many places where u can get action for 2cents.

Good question CMJ1102! Unfortunately everyone informed you of the truth and like Almonds stated, hard to cash due to lots of players and donks at that. Probably don't have much room to talk since I've only been playing electronic poker for 3 months. If you check that cake network post a thread on your thoughts. Please!

I think Pokerstars is better than Fulltilt poker. In poker stars you have more players and better software. In fulltilt you have rakeback and ok software. Both of the sites they have good Sng´s and cah games. Pokerstars is a little better.

Pokerstars best tournaments wiith a small buy in and huuuuge prize pool, everytime u can find a tournament for everyone (i mean micro limit player or high limit player) there is very good multitabling software.
