All sites that look the same as Doyles Room are now closed to US players. The Microgaming network have stopped accepting US players and Doyles Room ran on their software.

There are a few rooms that still accept US players, but I’m not sure what limits you are talking about, most have $0.05/0.10 but if it was $0.01/0.02 then not many rooms still do that.

If you don’t like Bodog then you can still try Absolute Poker, FullTilt Poker, Poker.com and PokerStars.

If you play cash and want to earn a little back, even at the lower limits, then you can sign up to the first three sites through my site and get rakeback. It will be launching this weekend.

Pokerstars don’t do rakeback but are the biggest poker site and have many games at all times of the day.

I played in Doyles and am now playing in sportsbook poker.

You can actually use your visa card too.

No poker site will let US players play for real money. They just passed a new law preventing it.

Comment on Is it legal to start your own cardroom? by Kosai

This is not dependant on the United States law as gambling laws are decided by individual states. In California it would be legal and in many other states you can find ways to work around the law by starting a private clubs (like Freemasons or another fraternal organization)

Poker Stars have some really low limits, far lower than the other places you mentioned.

I don’t play cards, sadly I don’t know how.

Comment on what percentile am I in? by Bob K

Being in the top 20% percentile means that if you arrange the scores from highest to lowest, your score is somewhere in the first 20% of the list. Since 20% = 0.2, there are

244,695 * 0.2 = 48,993

scores which qualify for the 20% percentile.

To figure out your percentile from your rank you do,
total_number_of_scores * p = your_rank
244695 * p = 9466
p = 0.039 =

Which is the 4th percentile.

Now generally though percentiles are calculated as how far you are from the bottom rather than how close to the top,
so it would generally be called the 96th percentile.
