I meant anywhere online.

I think Stars is the only site that actually segregates the funds. Since Stars was essentially forced into proving they do, most sites now will be honest and admit they aren't segregating (or evade the question), since they know they could be next.

BTW, since you are attempting to play professionally, you really should just get it over with and start to learn cash already. SNG's, especially for a US player, is not going to pay the mortgage anymore.

Is there any way to reduce the amount of BBJ tables and add more regular tables or is it just the fact that these tables appeal to more players and are filling up?
Hi there! Actually yes, the BBJ tables are liked and that is why we offer them.

We will offer a wider variety of regular tables very soon.

True, this brand was relaunched after some years. Americas Cardroom joined the Yatahay Network in 2011 but it was first launched in 2001.

More SnG turbo 9 handed or MTTs would be nice. More 9 handed cash as well.

Also, I know the stakes are small enough but .02/.05 NL 9 handed cash tables would be nice too.

I usually have to find an empty Sng that fits what I want to play and wait for it to fill, which doesnt take that long once someone else comes in.

dont let the 0/9 seated discourage you.
Very true, the increase in traffic lately has led to rapidly filling tables. It will only get better.

what methods are available to cashout for US players. can players who have had experience cashing out comment on how quick/reliable cashouts were? will i have to send in documents to receive a check? this has always been a huge pain in the ass, b/c the site always says x document was unreadable....and i don't have a car/printer/scanner so it becomes a huge pain to get the documents to the site.
Again, They are right in the past posts. Documents are necessary these days. Those days when the documents were overlooked are the ones that forced processors to demand them today.

My fpps seem to update very soon after I finish a session but my rakeback hasn't updated.

Thanks in advance for any replies.
It should be updated every day. Please send me a PM with your username to check if it's a problem with your account in particular.

Welcome then! I am sure that someone will approach you with a rakeback offer here. As an ACR rep I can't tell you an affiliate in particular. I can just advice to do a search like: "Americas Cardroom rakeback"

ACR Rep, this problem still persists. Since I have continued to try uninstalling, then even reinstalling the problem. There is absolutely no way to remove this software from my system.

^ FWIW I've been playing on this site for 2 months and use Windows 7 64-bit and it runs horrendously. The entire client locks up or entirely crashes on a regular basis. There may be some compatibility issues with Windows 7.

ya its def something that could be exploited, just absurd that something so simple as game rules are not coded correctly as long as they have been around.

thx, ya i made the final 2 tables in the ME and got semi-coolered.

Only posting because it would be nice to have another decent site for us land of the free residents to play and this could be one but they def have some work to do.

I've had a bit of a bug as well with the software.

Say Im in a Sng, and maybe a ring game, ok.

I click on the main lobby so i can get to my tourney info and bring up the tourneys lobby so i can see the tourney stats.

While Im viewing the lobby my turn comes up and the table comes to the top, ok....But theres one problem, I cant fold call or raise but i can see my cards. So Now I am pretty much forced to time out fold and wait for the next hand. Its like they dont load in the window, Its a blank area and nothing happens if I click anywhere in the box.

I found out that if I minimize the tourney while I look at the info it wont do that.

This is the first time we hear about this happening.. Please PM me your username so someone from support can get in contact with you and find out what the problem is.

When was the last time you experienced this? This bug was fixed some time ago...

I just downloaded the software and was ready to go, but if the funds aren't segregated there is no way I'm playing on your site.

I havent really been on to play in a few days so about a week ago.

FYI my PC is backdated to Windows XP. Originally Vista.

I'll check it out next time I log on. I did notice the patch update yesterday when I logged in for a quick Sng.

What Ive been seeing is during normal hours of the day theres around 2000 online. Ive seen it peak at around midnight in my area at roughly 6000.

From my experience...most are in cash games. The Sngs do pop but theyre single table and can take 15-20 minutes to fill. I usually stay under $10 per Sng, occasional $15 Sngs also.

Most of the single tables are 10 minute blinds which just KILLS it for me since ive always done turbo and super turbos.

It has already been mentioned a few pages back that they cannot officially comment on this matter due to security reasons.

Not sure if you are much into Heads-Up play but the Super Turbo ones fill rather quickly and have the same structure as Stars and the old Tilt ones.

PokerStars has just come out with a statement saything that their funds are segregated. (It was already on the site, but you had to look for it.) Interesting that AC says that they can't discuss it.

They can discuss it but they don't want to because it will scare players off i'm sure. If funds were segregated they should be happy to announce that

does anyone find the weird decimal nit bets really annoying?

I know people use it to scare off people from the pot but its really exploiting behavior with online poker.

you know youve seen it now its all over the place on ACR. not just acr but every site ive played on

lame example:

50/100 blinds SNG

button and blinds limp in and see a flop. check, check, button makes it 250.88 to go.

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

what is this decimal crap that everyone loves doing. The chips should ALWAYS be a whole number.

A high roller friend of mine that used to grind big money($1000-$6000) MTT on Stars showed it to me a few years back and it was amazing how no one wanted anything to do with those pots when he would put out a decimal bet, Because its a "psychological" thing that your actually typing in a bet rather than sliding or clicking.

He would do this pretty much entire orbits and no one ever fought back.

I REALLY think this needs to be taken out immediately. You dont see people at a live table throwing quarters and breaking chips in half and betting that.

Im really sorry if it seems im just a big baby and im picking ACR apart. But, this is the players exploiting computer poker. It needs to stop.

Does it not make sense that every amount of chips that go into a pot should be a WHOLE number instead of 766.66.

39suited,
-about the heads up games, I will occasionally play a couple of them but im not really into just one opponent or just doubling up. Id rather pay a little to win a lot, you know. Even though i used to rip heads up on tilt but they were always super turbos. Maybe ill give them another shot

Stars sent emails to everyone and made an announcement when they segregated accounts. That was 6 years ago (per GSC regulations when they moved). I didn't believe it; they proved me wrong.

No one is attempting to exploit anything. They are just using the preset amounts to bet, i.e. bet 2/3 pot when pot is 1150 = 766.66

I cannot say for sure if the funds are segregated or not, because I don't know ... this is the case for most sites though. Take the KGC for example, it is not exactly defined ... the LGA (Lotteries and Gaming Authority = Malta) though does require it in order to get a license.

I agree that the .66 should be removed, not sure if that is planned for one of the next updates tho. The HU SNG are available in 3 different types: normal, turbo and super turbo.

I have a technical problem. When I log in and select the tournaments tab and then SNGs my PC instantly freezes and I get a "not responding" message and it often takes a minute or two to unfreeze. Then when I scroll down to look for a tourney it does it again. Sometimes after this, it lets me select a tourney but sometimes it continues to be frozen. Last night I played in a tourney and got down to 3 handed and made the mistake of clicking on the SNG lobby and it froze my pc and I basically got blinded out of the tourney due to the couple minutes that it froze. Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks
