I take back some of my criticism towards my affiliate--didn't realize that the source of the problem was Merge's inconsistency with offering the rake chase. My affiliate perhaps just has a communication problem. This explanation doesn't make sense because a few months ago there was a Mega Millions and a rake chase. Why it is different this month I have no idea. The rake chase should be consistent or Merge will take a credibility hit with the regular players. Consistency breeds loyalty.

Atil, is there a reason why the increased buyin only applies to .50/1.00 and higher? This should be consistent through all levels.

at all the bigger sites the minimum buyin is the same on all stakes and i think that is the best way to do it. if players want to buyin with less they could just go down limits.
requested in the past with no response.. and if you need a place for freeroll winners to play keep 4NL with no restrictions.. no need for 10NL/25NL/50NL to suffer from ultra shortstackers.

re: ***Official CarbonPoker Thread*** -- Mac Client Live & $50,000 Rake Race (Post #3078)

There's a serious problem with your guys' HU system:

1) Like I said yesterday, someone was able to buy-in for 10bb's

2) It looks like you guys generate a max of 10 HU tables at a certain limit (since there are no empty HU tables at 50nl currently). Yet with this table limit, you don't limit the # of tables one can sit at. Currently, xxlilyxxallenxx has a monopoly on every single HU table at 50nl, sitting at every single one. That just doesn't seem right to me and definitely is in need of some fixing

+1 - def something that has to be altered, 24% for 1st....8% for 3rd....that's too big a differential between 1st and 3rd imo

I don't care for that lillyallen vampire, he hogs all the HU tables. Often i sit down with the table min. he types "reload" which i do not and wait him out. If the guy asked me nicely to reload, I probably would, but since he tries to sound like a dictator, i just wait him out on every table with the min. just to piss him off.

I heard some Merge rooms are dropping US players, e.g. Bluff Room. Surprised I don't see any discussion of it here yet.

Merge seems fine to me. Tons of new US players. "some merge rooms" meaning one room Ive never heard of? Yeah sounds like nothing.

As for lillyallen, that guy is playing like 20 tables at once. If you cant beat him you suck. He has no chance to adapt to you and you have one game to focus on. Just give him some action and see how it goes. Hell probably call overshoves light thinking you have nothing like all the donks he plays.

I do agree they should have unlimited tables that spawn when all are full.

Don't know who you are on merge, but I'm not playing anyone for 10 bbs. Not worth The rake even if i win it all first hand. Crazy to think it would be profitable for me otherwise.

Moreover, their HU system sucks. I sit all 10 hu tables. If someone sits in and ask me for 2, I give it to them.
