LHE is pretty weak on Merge tbh, $1/2 runs a couple tables and stakes below but nothing like LHE on Stars or FT

absolutely! Also, it has a very decent PLO8 MTT schedule.

I agree with you on the Stars and FT. I used to play 12-20 tables on Stars playing just $.5-$1 or $1-$2 sometimes. I was on pace for Supernova nothing crazy. On Merge I have not deposited much because the game selection is very low. Might deposit on another site but not sure yet. I just do not see enough limit holdem action. Lower the rake Merge and they will come.

Just curious as to what sites offer redeposit bonuses. I would also like to know how frequently different sites offer redeposit bonuses.

Pretty sure most Merge skins offer monthly reloads.

I've been playing on a Mac on sportsbook.com Anyone had experience with withdrawing money there? Thanks

The two networks I have experience with: Merge skins very generously give out reload bonuses, just have to ask a skin representative. Cake has reload bonuses frequently, most for 50% up to $300, and will more than likely give you a bonus up to $100 if you email them and say you're interested in returning.

again, this is very style dependent. but anyway %35 on merge isn't the standard anymore, all vip programs go up to %45+.

all skins i know offer sports. just checked and superstackpoker and colossalpoker have casino as well.

almost never heard of a site that doesn't offer redeposit bonuses. if you can't find the info, contact them and most chances you'll get something.

I"m looking to join Merge. Which site has the best software for mulitabling and is the smoothest. (i.e. tables pop up when you're surfing the net). ANy advice is useful. Thanks.

I think all the software on Merge is about the same.

Is merge software better than bovada(bodog)??

download both and try with play money. You can decide for yourself which is better... for you.

Well it depends. I personally like Bovada's software overall in terms of the way it looks. In terms of multi-tabling Merge wins out.

Merge:

When the interface goes to mini-mode I am not the biggest fan of it. Others like mini-mode better.
You can multi-table up to 18 tables I believe for cash games.
The software is pretty quick overall I have not had problems.
Poker tracker/ Hem is ok to use.
I have not had any lag or anything with Merge. It runs smooth but I am not the biggest fan with the way the game looks.


Bovada/Bodog:

You can only open 4 tables at a time.
The lobby you cannot see full tables.
You can only shrink the screen so far on the Bovada.
People have reported freezes. I have not had any occur as of yet.
Everyone is anonymous so poker tracker/Hem will not be beneficial for tracking people.
Notes disappear after a session.
You only get 7 seconds to post your blind or you sit out.



In terms of traffic Merge is better. However I think Bovada has more recreational players because of sports betting and such. I am not sure what else to add I am sure someone else could chime in.

merge is the most nit infested site that ever existed + month long cashouts
bovada has soft games+faster cashouts but 4 table max+crap software+high collusion risk

take your pick

So theres more fish on Bovada for sure?
