Hey guys,
My fault if this has already been talked about but I have 2 questions.
1) Are there any US Poker sites that allow pokertracker (I tried Americas Cardroom but there not accepting my debit card)
2) Also, if there is, do they use Western Union because that is the method i've used for withdrawal in the past with no problems. Thanks a lot folks.

My Carbon client just downloaded a 24MB update or thereabouts and then shut down. I can't even restart it. The update appears to have deleted the client.exe file. Is anyone else running into this problem?

RIP, lol

I probably would too if I still had to play there.

PlayersOnly client did the same thing to me. I redownloaded from the website, let it run the update and it worked just fine.

The US sites thread you are posting in allows both PT and HM. You can deposit w/ WU, but 2/3 skins listed in the thread title you can't cashout w/ it. Poker Host allows you to cash out w/ WU, but the fees are high.

If your debit card didn't work on America's Cardroom it most likely won't on any of the Merge skins. Get a pre-paid Netspend card.

My Visa card works fine on merge but doesn't work on Americas card room.

What do you use for your withdrawal option?

Aced/Carbon are checks, Poker Host is check or WU. Some people have bankwire options, but I don't think everyone does.

Actually both Merge and WPN accept WU which I think is probably the easiest way to deposit anyway.

For your Visa to work on ACR it has to be classified as an "international" visa

(PH) has the most withdraw options... once you become a loyal good standing player on their skin you'll see all the withdraw options available to you.. i have around 5 options

To Mike Haven, as I can't answer your message.

I meant the players I named were "desperate for a few bucks". They've accepted the button and declined the BB always, when trying to start tables or play HU at nl400 and nl600. In January I was grimmed many times by OmegaeliteUS and Klean1.

Obviously this thread isn't a police force but it helps to have some awareness about angleshooters.

This wasn't really what I was asking about. The rake at the micros is pretty obscene, when you stack someone at nl10 your stack is 18.8 or something, that's 12 BB. At midstakes it'll be .4-.8 bb, which is still gigantic but beatable.

Merge used to have great custom games and high stakes actually ran, even as high as 50/100. You could make about any game at any stake.

I understand the network is smaller and sketchier these days. But having the absolute cap for games at 3/6 just feels dumb. The higher tables don't even exist! I think at the very least there would be action at 5/10 a few times a week. 3/6 nl is running 2 tables in normal hours, sometimes 4 at peak times.

Re the rake, my argument was they could bump the rake caps up for 5/10 so it is profitable for them to run, instead of channeling all action lower. Tournament winners are looking for ways to blow their 5k-20k scores and that's a lot easier at 5/10.

So does anyone know why A) No 5/10? B) No custom tables?

You really hit the nail on the head. $10NL is particularly brutal because there is not as many fish as there are in $4NL or $25NL so you are constantly working your butt off and digging out of holes against nits and less spots that you would prefer and you finally stack someone and it just doesn't feel like you're winning it back at the rate when you lose it.

I made a thread discussing my problems with the rake specifically and they are similar to your complaints.

I play on carbon. I requested a withdrawal (check) Jan.5, just received it today, Jan.23 by fedex. The check even looks semi-legit!

Anyone who won a seat in the $11 100 seat qualifier actually get the ticket or able to register for either 100K?

I didn't and can't????

Anyone else having trouble with HEM2 on Sportsbook/Merge?

I don't know if you saw the posts from a few days ago, but a recent update changed the location of the handhistories. If you weren't aware of that, that is probably the problem you are having. If you open your client and then open the hand history settings you can see where the hand histories are so you can then point HM2 in that direction.

Nope I haven't either, talked to support and they didn't know why but said they'll email me tomorrow morning. If anyone else needs to contact support about this, the tourney id# is 75137277.

Just curious why there are two Sunday 100k tournaments this week and not one big 200k?

wait, the "2x" promotion is NOT to double the prizepool, but to run 2 of the exact same tournaments side by side?

lol wat?

double vision merge style lol

I predict overlays
