I'm on Aced with no problems.

When did cash out requests start taking more than a month to process???

merge poker is rigged, bad beats seem standard over there

So play me heads up and go all in with bad hands every time.

Posted this in the Merge W/D thread but relevant to your question. Below are player reported payouts and timeframes, from date of request to date of receiving their check. Payouts on average are still currently totaling less than a month from beginning to end through 1-15.

Where did I ever write they took more than a month?

Guess that's what I took from this comment.

So you took getting 1 check once a month as checks taking longer than a month? Makes sense..

If you imply you can't get more than one a month then yeah, that kinda makes sense.

You can't get more than one a month at this point. That isn't implied, it's a fact. Considering how miserable cash outs on Merge generally have been (- a few months this fall) I'm happy w/ a month. That doesn't imply I'm happy that they ruined all the games and I have no way to cash out my entire roll anytime soon.

Well, just be happy that you'll get it at some point. Could be on Lock.

Have plenty stuck on Lock.

I've never once worried about getting money from Merge, nor will I until I'm shown otherwise. That doesn't mean I or anyone else should be happy w/ what they're doing just because they pay us. That's kind of the whole idea of a poker site. You make money, you get paid. Unless you're on Lock.

Unfortunately, coming into a poker forum to do nothing other than complain does nothing either...except make you feel better for blowing off steam.

Been grimmed many times by these guys: omegaeliteUS, Klean1, Gomorra... pretty desperate for a few bucks I guess.

Yes, because I never answer peoples questions (w/ out making money off them like some here) and only complain. Do you think people would be posting itt if there weren't any problems? Should we all just accept Merge ruining the games on their site? Microstakes have outrageous rake, mid stakes barely get more than a few tables, HS is non existent. SNGs have very little traffic, and MTTs have a handful of worthwhile selections that all have terrible structures unless you play microstakes $100 GTD's.

You can't be serious, so no need to respond to my rhetorical questions.

If you are insinuating that affiliates make money off random people by answering questions then you are extremely wrong lol.

They're not theoretical. I agree they're legit concerns. However, Kahn has always been up front when it comes to opinions and information. He's also never hidden his being an affiliate. I've also seen him suggest other site to people he felt merge was not the best fit.

And also, unfortunately you do have to accept merge running their games into the ground. We have zero input into managements decisions. We do though have the option to go elsewhere and let merge die.

If you are insinuating that coming into every online poker thread and answering questions being a known affiliate and painting the sites in the best light possible won't lead to new sign ups then you're naïve. Like I've said before, I have no problem w/ what he does. My issue is w/ him manipulating information itt to put Merge into the best light possible.

If you have anything negative to say he PM's you saying that you shouldn't be posting negative things lmao. It's a joke.

No need for all the trolls to come out and derail the thread more. I have every right to post my opinion and I do so w/ zero bias. I couldn't careless what some affiliates do and my only concern is for Merge to make their site playable again.

And we've circled back to the same nonsense posted 2 pages ago. Do you think they don't read this thread? If everyone is saying "Man, Merge is awesome!" why would they feel the need to change anything? The plummeting traffic should be a good indicator. Between all the trolls posting there has been some good suggestions for things they could do to improve.

And again, it isn't possible for anyone w/ a significant bankroll to cash out. I would love to leave, but they have a huge chunk of my money. It's either let it sit there and do nothing or play the few games that are left until I finally get my last check.

Lol @ zero bias.

Feel free to elaborate on what bias I have. I'm a player and have been one of Merge's most consistent regs for years. My only bias is I don't want a POS site to play on. I have no stake in anything to do with Merge doing well or dying besides how it effects me and my BR stuck there.

Merge is my favorite available site and I would love nothing more than it to thrive like it was 2 years ago.

I wouldn't associate with anyone that actively tried to manipulate information solely to benefit themselves. So if you're in the mood to question someone's motivation, why don't you question mine.

Everything I do is based on research, factual information, and statistical analysis. I don't post anything here or elsewhere that isn't based on some kind of quantifiable data. Yes, Merge has made a lot of questionable decisions - call them out, call them to the carpet, and I applaud it. Outside accountability is my thing, sir. But a little respect and use of something other than "oh, he must be shilling" isn't uncalled for here - because when you say that, you're basically saying the same thing about me. And while Kahn might simply utilize ignore features, I'm a little more hard headed at times with the need to defend things I feel need to be defended.

There's plenty of people in the industry out for nothing but themselves - but I give you my word (if it means anything to anyone...I like to think I've built a decent rep here) that Kahn isn't one of them.

Why exactly couldn't 5/10 run here?

Right now the rake structure at 3/6 is $1 HU, $2 3 or 4 handed, $5 5 or 6 handed.

They could probably get away with $1.5, $3, and $6 at 5/10.

Is the problem just that recs will blow their roll in 10 seconds? Is it really a big difference between that and 3/6?

So, saying Merge segregating 3 years ago isn't manipulating information? The site was almost entirely integrated less than a year ago. That's just 1 example of many.

Again, I couldn't careless what Kahn does or doesn't do as long as he does it w/ integrity. PMing people who post negative things about Merge telling them they should stop (which he does often from the people I've talked to about it) and manipulating information to make things look better don't fall in that category.

This thread isn't about Kahn as much as he tries to make it. This thread isn't about me "complaining" even though Kahn and his buddies want to make it that.

Nutz, I think you and Kahn both do a good thing for OLP as a whole. There is no need to come here attacking me for having an opinion. Do you even play Merge, Nutz? If you do, do you play more than microstakes? You're completely out of line coming here to attack me on Kahn's behalf. Go back to tracking cash outs, that's what you're good at.

Merge players are entitled to post w/e they want here no matter if Kahn agrees with it or not.
