No one help him; he is too good already.

Just kidding (not about the good part though).

Sorry, I have HEM. It works real easily with HEM 2. The thing is they are using old Pacific software, so it works with that setting. I had the original PT years ago, but haven't had 2 through 4 so I am not sure, but maybe they have the same Pacific thing that HEM does

It was reported as oct 1st of this year but I can't remember by who. The specific date was then retracted. That is to my knowledge anyway.

Both PT4 and HEM miss a lot of hands though. My results in my balance are much higher than what PT4 says (yes i accounted for bonuses and rakeback).

There's a thread in this sub where others have the same issue. One poster thinks the issue comes up when you stack a player, but that player either leaves the game or doesn't insta-rebuy. In that case, PT4 will miss the hand's results.

Yea, this is true. In my experience it used to miss a ton of hands when they first started saving hand histories. And a couple times I went to look at the logs and some hands were there in notepad, but all the screen names were missing, so couldn't be imported. I think it is a lot better now and doesn't miss too many hands. Good enough that I can't really tell just by eyeballing it anymore.

But I usually keep track of my profit/loss for a session now for my records by writing down my account balance before I started playing and then writing it down again after I stop playing. This way I know I am getting that right.



And I don't know if he got it to work, but there was a "GregMerson" at several of the tables I was playing yesterday, so I assume that is him.

I was under the impression that Merson would come to NJ and be good for the sites... Give action and try to start bigger games etc. When I realized that he actually came here to short stack, rat hole, and bumhunt though I was shocked. Has another WSOP champ ever been found 30bb rat holing 2/4 games? What a disgrace.

The hell are you talking about? I'm a reg at those stakes and I haven't once seen Greg buy in for less than full or do anything resembling rat holing. He also hasn't seemed particular at all about game selection as I've seen him at tables full of regs at 2/4-5/10.

He short stacks and rat holes on Party/Borgata. He won't help start games and is one of the biggest bumhunters on the site. Amazing that he's a sponsored pro and WSOP has no issues with this.

Playing at 6+ tables now. 1/2 to 5/10 with about $5K spread around.. Looks like he is playing anyone and everyone.

Checked back 15 minutes later. Gone. Hit and Run.

Can confirm this.... Merson is an absolute disgrace and is very very bad for poker in NJ. Maybe he is back on the oxycodone??? Whatever it is stop being a dirtbag Merson
09-25-2014 , 10:54 PM
Greg can you please respond to these allegations?

I've seen him leave some tables when it has become him HU with another regular a couple times (and I have done this too sometimes btw). However, I have definitely never seen him buy-in with less than 100 big blinds. I also don't think I have ever seen him rathole.

His behavior under his own name on wsop is not what I have an issue with. My problem is with how he behaves under his anonymous screen name on party poker. He is actually really the only person in the whole state who behaves like this. NJ online poker cash games were surprisingly ethical until Greg graced us with his presence.
09-26-2014 , 09:48 PM
Just to clarify my comments before were only about his play on wsop.com, I didn't even know he had an account on party/borg
09-27-2014 , 06:29 PM
Where ya at champ? You gonna respond....?
09-27-2014 , 06:31 PM
I like to see anyone doing things to help the poker community so I hope Greg Merson continues to play here and more people can help revitalize growth in American Poker w/ possible future legislation.

How do you even know it is him?

Who cares if he wants to buyin short? It's not against the rules and he's entitled to do so if he wants.
