The big sites will be back soon, but the networks are great too, i would go here... http://sunshine-Poker.com/americas-cardroom.html and check them out
They are legal but like you stated, there arent a lot of people there to play with. All of the sites that accept US players are like this. The big poker sites doesnt accept US players anymore.
