Hey I'm from the USA ~ MI : and it will be my first time playing online poker I just need to know some of the best sites to upload some cash and start playing

The only network with significant traffic still accepting US players is Merge, so if you really want to play right now your best options are probably sites like Carbon Poker or Black Chip Poker. Still, I would suggest you to not deposit and wait until legalization.

I would definitely not play on Cake Poker or any of the other smaller, less reputable networks.

I put $50 on merge with no intention of every being able to cashout. I've heard people having problems with merge and cashing out from the US so I just figure $50 let's me play serious games without the worry of losing it if I'm not able to get the money out. If I get a decent bank roll I will try to cashout some out but, I'm not going to worry about that unless I'm able to grow my initial deposit to over $1000. I don't play for income so it's just entertainment money.

What's the best way to get money on merge?

Western Union. In the Deposit option select Cash Tranfers and you'll get a name and address for the WU. When I entered the transaction code back into the poker client, it only took about 5 minutes for the money to appear in my account.

I was able to put my money on with a credit card. Mastercard to be more specific.

My credit card has worked as well. Recent reports on 2+2 seem cashouts are moving faster

Good reply. I recently withdrew 2k from merge, and it took 6 weeks.
