Not me. I play 6-8 tables daily and I have never experienced lag. I have 6GB of RAM, not sure if that's related to the issue but just throwing it out there.

I only have 512ram and I can run at least 4 tables at once(haven't tried more). Just make sure that you don't have too many other programs running.

i've had no problems with acr in the past but recently one of the checks they sent me, bounced. i contacted support and its been days without an answer. the guy actually said to me. "the check wouldn't have bounced if you waited to deposit." who cuts someone a check if the funds aren't available on their end?? its ridiculous and I still dont have my money.

Why is the structure for the $7 HU Turbos different then all of the other Turbo HU games? The others start at 10/20 whereas the $7 starts at 15/30...

Because they're a US-facing site, and all US-facing sites have difficulty with check processors from time to time as the good old US government tries to purge the country of evil online poker. At least until they can regulate and tax it themselves. So in the meantime, unfortunately, bounced checks from US-facing sites happen from time to time.

when i play cash games ill stay around 5/10c or 10/25c.

why does every table have to be a BBJ table?

I think there needs to be more short stacked tables at both of these limits.

These BBJ tables are raking $0.17 cents off what should be a $1.55 pot which equates to nearly 11% rake. This is insanely high, and what's worse, the players are forced to play on them because there are no non bbj tables available. Give us regular tables please, and throw in some 5nl tables while you're at it.

Americas Cardroom was created for poker players.
As compensation for hosting games, we take what’s known as ‘rake’ from each pot. We have the “no flop, no drop” policy. The rake is defined in the following chart:

All Stakes Up to $2/4

Number of Players Rake per pot Max Rake
2 $0.05 for each $1 in Pot $0.50
3 $0.05 for each $1 in Pot $1.00
4 to 5 $0.05 for each $1 in Pot $2.00
6 to 9 $0.05 for each $1 in Pot $3.00
The house charges a commission or “rake” as a percentage of the total pot won at the end of each hand. The rake is calculated based on the number of players in the hand, and the size of the pot. The commission (rake) is 5% and capped to a maximum of $3.


ive looked on the site and it says nothing about the rake for a BBJ table. I do believe your math though sandbagged. I stopped playing on the BBJ tables because i was raking it off.

That's because the BBJ rake isn't rake in the traditional sense. Regular rake goes to the site, whereas BBJ rake comes back to the players in the form of BBJ jackpots - although a lot of sites take a % of that.

For the same reason, you don't get rakeback on it either.

Edit to add: Just checked - ACR takes 10% of the BBJ.

Railed a 10nl 6max for a few minutes, when one person open limped, sb completed, and bb checked, and all the money is moved to the middle, the pot goes from $0.30 to $0.21. However, when more money is added afterwards, a smaller % is taken out.

For 400nl bbj only $2 is taken out of a $30 pot, which isn't too bad. (6.7%) So it seems med. and high stakes are less affected by bbj.

so everytime a play in a BBJ table..... im putting in an additional side rake for a jackpot i have extremely little chances in winning?

would this collection be every hand?

please correct me if im wrong here i dont mean to sound brainless.

its probably just me not noticing how many hands im actually playing since my internet pokers has dropped off significantly since BF.

So I just signed up. Going to deposit tomorrow if the answer to this question is what I'm hoping....

When was the last time someone received a WU cashout and how long did it take?

And the whole deal with the debit cards... is that easy to set up? Cause that sounds badass.

Bobo is correct, your math is off here. 10 Cent go to the BBJ and are no rake, it's the risk you take to contribute to the BBJ in order to get lucky and have a huge payday. Just FYI that is the same for all sites that offer bad Beat Jackpots.

You are right in that it the bbj technically isn't rake. However, 10c/pot along with regular rake really does cut into the profit for 10nl and it's ridiculous that acr doesnt even offer 10nl 6max regular tables. We're basically forced to play on bbj tables if we want to play at all. How hard is it to open up a few regular tables for us?

the payout for BBJ is awesome though how nice would that be.

Id like to hear from fellow BBJ winners, how they went about getting their prize and legal issues that came up. do they just get a check for 400k and go to the bank teller no problem or what?

I agree and maybe will listen after reading this thread, the fullring no BBJ tables are way too nitty though -.-

Edit: Actually there are 6max tables for all limits. Do you have "hide empty tables" selected in the cash game lobby?

Afaik the BBJ only hit twice so far after they introduced the new software, not sure if they had BBJ with the old Yatahay 3d software already.
