[WPN] Americas Cardroom, BCP, TruePoker Ex-Official Discussion Thread - Page 208 - Online Poker Sites -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I don't know how accurate this really is, but the assumption is BCP was a skin on Merge with lots of grinders and not many fish. While there will be more tables and bigger guarantees on tourneys the games themselves will be tougher.

Has anyone received their rake back yet? I have not received mine for the previous week.

I have had problems regging in tourneys. I got frozen in a rebuy and almost couldn't get back in. I was deep in the tourney on the bubble and couldn't get back in easily and lost some value.

BCP isn't bad for the games, The Beast is bad for the games. Every single cash table is filled with people who are playing 20-30 tables folding their life away trying to win The Beast. These are the nittiest games I've ever seen and people mass multitabling who can't handle it are slowing the games down like no other.

It's pretty ridiculous when 6max tables are averaging 60 hands or under an hour.

Got mine late yesterday, even though I am on West coast. However, it showed in my balance, but NOT on the popup rakeback page when I checked it this morning. Fortunately, I knew my ending balance exactly and saw it was added. Maybe that's the case for you. Check the history page.

P2P already existed on the network. However, there are no inter-skin transfers. Thus ACR can not send to True, who can not send to BCP, etc.

Am I understanding their rake structure correctly?

"Rake per pot: $0.01 for each $1 in the pot"

All stakes up to $2/$4
wouldn't that be a 1% rake?

While I'm certain the people in the current months top three are not cheating.. I think the flatter payout structures would benefit the health of the games in that people will want to play the highest stakes possible. If the difference between finishing 2nd and finishing 5th is only a grand or two. This would motivate people to put up the best score they could at the highest stakes they can. As opposed to just trying to up the highest score possible.

The Beast is the main reason I won't put any serious money or time in cash games. You have decent traffic, but it's keeping the fish away from creating a large base of cash games. If some of the money "wasted" on just the same few each month was distributed to more GTD $5 buy in MTT's, they would flock to ACR like like hookers to a dental convention...

Beast just needs to go IMO.

Is there any other site that has a separate drop so they can pay their rake race?

so it seems like ACR has the faster cashouts (I think according to this site 2+2) then why doesn't it have more traffic?,I think the most ppl I've seen online was like 5 to 6k granted am really new playing on there but some tourneys don't run because theres not enough entrants which is kinda lame I wish the MTTs were bigger bleh

The mtt schedule is extremely low compared to Merge. I am hoping the tourneys will pop off more often sense BCP is on board with the network but really don't see much of a change this week.

I typically play during the day so it is very frustrating to look at the tourney lobby and not see much to play. I understand that the traffic is typically low during the day but still. Disappointed at the tourney schedule.

I am applying for the debit card and got an email response back sending my docs and filled out the online form. On the site it said it takes 3 business days but in the email, said it takes 15 business days. I will update the thread to see how long it actually takes.

Doe it usually take 15 business days? After the debit card arrives, how long does it usually take to withdraw money onto that card?

I'm not saying anything here that dozens of other people are saying ITT, but I'll just add my name to the echo chamber. Please, please, please get rid of The Beast. It sucks on so many levels. It's driving fish away from the tables, slowing the games down, making the games boring nitfests, and rewarding cheaters.

You claim this thread is for listening to players. Everyone here seems to hate it. I don't expect anything to change at all, ever, but that's my two cents.
