Perhaps this is a stupid question, but I have been thinking about the feasibility of online poker for Americans, and I wanted to ask your collective opinion about online poker for Americans who are essentially restricted to a few poker sites that are willing to accept customers from the USA. I know most of the famous pros play on Full Tilt or PokerStars. I suppose they live or travel to places where access is not banned? For the great majority of Americans though, we are basically left with Bovada, America's Cardroom, and Juicy Stakes. Perhaps I'm leaving some out?

I think most of us dream about playing high stakes someday, and I wonder if that is even really a possibility for Americans? I very rarely see anything above 3/6 running on America's Cardroom. I quit playing on Bovada because of the anonymous tables, so I can't comment there. Are there any high stakes pros playing on sites that accept American players? Or am I simply dreaming about grinding my way up a ladder that stops at 3/6?

(I should note that 3/6 is still a large game for my bankroll and skill level, and if I were to learn to crush 3/6 I would still be a very happy camper).
