Correct, they do not steal your money.

I have to pay cashout fees on it though just like the other guys that recently got banned.

Make sure you actually get your money before making that statement.

I was recently banned and received all of my money (minus those damn 5% fees).

Well I posted my cashouts in the wdraw thread, but yes I've received all my money (but for fees) and am now fully divested of the Carbon Corporation.

Folks have been getting banned for 3-4 years now. No one has ever posted about not getting their money. In fact, there were several posts during Merge's slow pay period, about banned players getting their money pretty quickly.

Almost positive I'm playing against a bot. What do you do in this situation?

Try to figure out how to exploit it and print money. If that doesn't seem likely or possible, report it to Merge. That's all you can really do outside of avoidance.

who is it? Liquear?

if you're better than it, keep playing. if not, quit.

90% of merge regs can't type in their screenname while logging-in without drooling on their keyboard. you recommend they attempt to exploit a bot?

Guys I need a new place to play heads up plo cash with bovadas new changes. Does merge network have it? If they do, up to what stakes? And what are the number of tables spawning rules? Is there a max cap number of heads up tables that will spawn no matter what? Like how ACR only has 4 heads up tables at a certain stake allowed. If there's 4 full tables of 1/2 heads up plo running at ACR, then that means I can't play 1/2 heads up plo At ACR until one of the players leave. Is this how it also is at merge??

There are no HU cash tables on Carbon. Only 6max tables for PLO and there is no seat selection, just autoseating.

Do they still have points to tickets or anything that I can use my points for on Carbon? I can't find that option anymore.

I reported a few of the bots including and associated with Liquear numerous times to Merge and they almost instantly sent an email back saying they "didn't find anything".

For what it's worth, Liquear and just about every single other Italian player at 1/2 and 2/5 will do the following:

-Never have autopost on at the start of play and wait for HU action/always play anyone HU
-Always time down to around the middle of the timebank for the first 2 manual blind posts
-After the first 2 manual blind posts, they will finally switch and turn their autopost on
-If an opponent continues to sit out and back in without actually posting a blind (I've tested this for literally 15+ minutes lol), the Italian will always time down to the same timebank spot before manually posting the blind and will never auto post the blinds until 2 successful and consecutive hands are played. This is true even if the Italian is on multiple other tables with action.

It's obvious that at the VERY least, these Italian players share the same automatic blind poster but I think there's good reason why they are using the same program to post their blinds and it isn't due to laziness.

I was only providing a list of all available options. I have no way of knowing whether or not they'd actually be able to do so.

Is there HU NL at least?

No, all HU cash games were discontinued years ago and all HU cash regs were banned.

I'm not even 100% sure that this is a bot but I noticed they were auto instapot-betting in certain spots and that's just not possible as a human. Seems like they're going with the hyper lag strategy.

If you're better than it , keep playing... then get banned.
Lol

Well add me to the list of people who have been banned. They booted me off mid session. Since the bannings started i started making sportsbets and gambling a little bit in the casino so I'm not sure that will help if anyone else is trying to avoid a ban.

That is nuts. Did you have a big upswing too?

Yeah i was having a decent month

RIP man. Was fun playing with you.

Today they came for my cabbages.

An empire such as mine was bound to come under attack by lesser, jealous individuals.

They think they can keep the cabbage under their heel?

Laughable.

Seriously man, if you fear for the health of the games you would do us all a favor and just turn your chat off. Every single session you are in there trying to trash talk regs, get HU action, and generally being disrespectful. We get it, you are the best. Take a page out of zippy book and just be professional.
