The table thing is on the players not the site. If those on the lists would start a new table, there would be more tables. As far as I know, they do not limit the number of tables.

Look in the lobby and you should see tables with 0 players. No need to spawn new tables when there are open seats.

Sure it's in this thread somewhere but I'll say it again.
RPM needs to allow observer chat at the tables!! It would make final tables more fun imo. Railing is the nuts

I have been meaning bring this up on here for a while, whenever I recieve a $10 bonus increment that is disbursed while I am playing, the client freezes up for 3-5 minutes. Afterward it will come back to me sittingout and having lost all the hands I was in at the time. This has cost me money a few times and once was more than the $10 I recieved. This could happen at any time and is out of my hands which worries me. If this could be looked into and fixed it would be much appreciated.

Thank you

never understood this, ill be playing 6 tables and then ill get disconnected and everything will be ok, ill be forced to close software but when i reopen it, i get that nice $20 bonus popup but then i need to resit in on all of my tables, its a joke and needs to be fixed, glad its not only me.

Am I crazy or does the button get messed up every time a third player joins a table.

What seems to be happening is every time a third player joins there is a dead button and the SB who should have the button is playing a second pot in a row heads up OOP.

I'm talking about before the third player is sitting in.

This seems like a pretty big problem. Someone could use this at higher stakes to have position in hands where they shouldn't.

Even without someone doing it on purpose its still a massive problem that the same player is OOP two hands in a row.

I don't really understand the point of this thread. I don't think I've seen a single suggestion implemented...

Feel free to shed light on my ignorance if there actually was a single thing asked for and received in this thread please.

dude, its a big problem and i play the 3/6 5/10 10/20 games and they are fn scumbags, certain regs who know i wont play them will just come to table and just not post and do it over and over when they have no intention to play and i am forced to play oop a few hands in a row cuz sometimes even my opponent sitsout, its crazy and needs to end. Its a software problem tho and people get the best of me while im multi tabling. Its like the regs do it back and forth to each other for an edge, i truly hope that guy stuungarx who shortstacks dies a miserable death and hiperpolo, my god, those ****ers just come to table and let timer go down and never post for a full orbit then leave. its so tilting, and on top of it they make me lose position while im hu lol/end rant

So this is a confirmed massive glitch that happens every time and merge does nothing?

This would be like if there was a software glitch that made players the BB two hands in a row and they just ignored it.

This is outrageous. Its pretty terrible programming/game rules even if no one exploits it.

Obviously people will exploit it and basically double grim you and then run off.
Mark, I think this deserves its on thread in the zoo.

Just wanted to add that I've been on this site for 6 months now, and unless someone corrects me if I'm wrong, literally nothing has changed since then.

I think they changed the structure of some of the hyper sngs added a level or something like that. But true they have not done much and this thread is kinda useless. They probley figure f*** it and know Americans dont really have any other decent choices, and will play here regardless.

I seen a few changes, one being the fixing of the tourney payout structure, another filling out the tourney schedule better.

One thing to remember is that most issues are a Merge network issue. Things take a little longer when you have to go thru a site on Merge to deal with a network wide issue.

I really hope they will seriously consider the tourney series recommended here quite a bit.

I would like to see an email HH support system similar to the one I was used to on P****S****. An option where I can request and receive the last X00 hands or fewer by email. This would help me keep my data base complete when I play on my back up computer and also help me find one hand quickly so I can post how poorly I played it

+1

This would be very handy for me also, since I run multiple computers also, and multiple tracking software. Also, my data sometimes has errors importing certain tables and games, it would be nice to have a way to audit my own records.

Stars got it right on this one IMO, RPM should def try to emulate them here

Its not the sites fault sir. Its the players fault who just join wait lists rather than start new tables. Ive seen wait lists of 10+ accross the board and try to start new tables but it usually takes awhile for players to sit with me and get more games going if they even do at all.

I haven't hand any problem getting on tables or starting new tables.

I prefer to start tables. Despite the rake, it seems better. I get the fish and the regs are too tied up waiting on list to get on full tables.

fyp

Maybe, but that's also the software's fault. It operates in a pretty flawed system that basically is costing them money because new tables aren't being started where new tables should be starting.

The setup is also very messy. Just look at the inconsistent nature of the O8 games from one of my earlier posts ITT.

It is the site's job to facilitate games, not convolute the process with garbage software and poor organization.

Players are always typically gonna not want to play HU and SH to start tables, especially when the rake is raping them literally every hand. They're also typically too impatient to open a table and sit out waiting for the desired number of players to sit in, especially when a wait list will do the work for them.

What are you talking about? To sit in at a new table, pretty simple, look for the 1 with 0/9 players and sit in. How are tables in your opinion supposed to be started?

Yes, stars is the best out there, they didn't start like that. They have had millions in rake to pay for the site upgrades and years for it to become what it is today.

Nobody expects software on the level of stars. But to see small inprovments every few months would be nice. Even if they did one thing it would show they are trying.

was there a new update?

I've seen empty tables with wait lists of 4-10. They kick players off tables way too quickly. There's a flaw in the button positioning as well. Sometimes I end up with position even though I am the small blind. Players are trying to angle-shoot that glitch and leave (although I don't believe it's actually as exploitable as they might think, but they still try it nevertheless). The hierarchy of stakes, buy-in settings, and availability of games are all screwed up and uneven. Lack of a double-rebuy button is tilting, and sometimes makes me not ever want to play rebuy tourneys. The lobby filters are terrible. And worst of all, the client sucks up the most CPU memory I have ever seen of any site I've ever played on.

All these easily fixable issues basically make the experience of playing on Merge far less enjoyable for recreational players and grinders. Some of them are literally breaking up games and stunting the expansion of others.

I used to sit out all tables and take a bathroom break. By the time I get back, I'm kicked off all my tables, half of which completely empty out because god forbid a SH table temporarily has only 4-5 players.

obv they'll never be Stars, the current environment makes that impossible. But that doesn't mean they can't make simple and effective changes which improve the quality of the site dramatically.

This. So far, the only changes I'm aware of is a change in the tourney payout structures (which are still not great apparently) and the addition of tournaments here and there with guarantee changes.

One other thing to note is, while I greatly appreciate the promos since I have benefitted nicely from them, they stopped rake races two months ago (at least my affiliate RTR has).

Were not asking for the best software on earth.

If the correct player had position it would be nice.

Def would love to see a double rebuy option for tournaments. I do like that you've started attaching guarantees no matter how small or varying to a lot of the MTT's, as this is bringing up the # of players in them.

For the love of GOD can we please have double rebuy and auto addon yet?

Oh, and a popcorn animation.

Really, the double add-on is what you guys are worried about?

The button doesn't work in cash games and tables don't break properly in tournaments.

There is no reason you should be playing multiple hands at a 3 or 4 handed table when there are 100+ players left in a tournament.

I don't really mind because I usually pickup some chips shorthanded, but its pretty frustrating we are playing for actual money and the ****ty software is preventing standard rules from being enforced.

What I think is going on with the waitlist on tables with 0 players is players select join waiting list for all tables at that limit. When you get the pop up asking to accept or reject if you have action at another table it leaves that popup there thus leaving you on the wait list. It doesn't pop back up for your attention it just sits there.

Many have complained about the dropping the player from the table issue when on bathroom breaks. It needs to be fixed,

Please get the standard rebuy and add-on issues fixed. When the break period begins please also fix it so you can rebuy. Nothing like losing an all-in right before the break and you cannot rebuy.
