What time of day does acr get busy? It was not busy from 4pm to 1130pm pst today Sunday.

PLO8 is a niche game online and there are very few places you'll find lots of PLO8 action. Winning Poker Network (ACR) has a Euro peak and a US peak. You likely missed the Euro peak as they are 9+ hours ahead of PST. The US peak falls within the time range you posted. Perhaps it was a slow day, or perhaps WSOP has more PLO8 traffic. You may wish to spend more than one day in observation.

I am not a computer expert either and this is my understanding of the concept.
Its so hard to find a workable plan. So lets say I had access to other poker sites where I could use PT4 or HEM, whether through buying a new PC or using a Windows VM on my Mac - which sites would those be?

I'm also trying to figure out if the cost of buying a new PC/windows VM, buying PT4 is worth it to play $10NL. This stuff should be much easier than it is

Farther down on the 2plus2 main page is a section named Computer Technical Help. Your questions should be asked there.

thats what i thought, but i spoke to a live rep and they said they are now accepting nevada players. Guess they havent updated the website.... players are telling me the change is less than 1 week ago.

I thought acr was only USA??? it is international? What/who is the player pool then? i know it is 44+ us States who else? and yesterday their 10c/25c had a lower avg pot size than wsop's 5c/10c, granted wsop is 9max and acr is 6max but still....

830 am pst less than 1 full game running 10c/25c. Ill keep watching it to see when/if they get busy.

there are 7 plo8 touneys a day but some are 50 cents and $1 biggest is $15. I cant find structure for the tourney anywhere in the tourney lobby... but I do see 10 min blinds lvls which is long.

Their Sngs are only offered up to $100.... (there hu sngs higher) If i could get SnGs on the regular that would be great.... only 1 person regged right now and only for turbos.

If i could get $25+ SnGs running i would be very happy. is there a site that tracks how many sngs run? i know playerscope will track sng results for any player.

I will keep monitoriing in throughout the day.

They offer their games to most countries in the world. They exclude very few. Mostly just regulated markets and places where they wouldn't want to be associated with terrorist money heh.

Betcoin is not a skin of ACR. Betcoin is a 3rd party operator, where as ACR is owned and operated directly by Winning Poker Network. Betcoin is part of the Winning Tournament Network, not the Winning Poker Network. The distinction is that Betcoin has none of the cash games one would find on Winning Poker Network.

^ Also, FWIW, Jackpot Poker on Betcoin is segregated from WPN.

I was actually unaware of that fact. Thanks for pointing that out.

If I come back to online poker, I would probably just be playing one site and one tournament at a time. This gave me the idea of getting a tablet just for this purpose and this purpose only.

Are there any sites that you can play on that are no download using an Android tablet?

Hmmm, no download. So you'd want a browser based "instant play." I think that is only available on Intertops and Grand Poker.

Quick side-tangent:

Chico, WPN, Merge, Grand, and Ignition...

Do any of these not allow HUD or tracker software?

Does this sound right?


Which of these have the best games/biggest player pools in general? Sorry if this has been asked recently, didn't see anything from a quick scan.

WPN and Merge are the most HUD compatible options, as most everything supports them.

I know of no HUDs that work on Grand.

Chico and Ignition are natively supported by Holdem Indicator (be sure to search for a discount if you intend to use this program). PT/HEM can be used to some extent on these sites, but it requires a few pieces of 3rd party software (hand history catcher and a hh converter).

Thanks! I've been out of the loop for awhile. Can you deposit with any credit card or is it best to use the prepaid option?

Bitcoin is the absolute best option. If you use a prepaid, make sure it works for international transactions first, otherwise, there's no chance it will work for poker deposits. Credit cards in general, across all sites over all time, have something like a 60% acceptance rate. This varies greatly depending on a number of factors, but 60% is more or less your overall odds.

It's legit. It's your best bet for USA players currently.

Your best two sites for Americans in non-regulated states are Ignition and ACR:

Ignition

Pros
-Very loose games as the anonymous tables attract fish/recs.
-Payouts are great. Recommend using bitcoin.

Cons
-Can only play up to 4 tables at a time.

ACR

Pros
-27% rakeback.
-Can play as many tables as you want.

Cons
-Games are extremely tough and reg-infested.
-Software has a lot of issues.

I like Ignition personally. There are tons of fish out there that basically give away their money which is far more profitable than 27% rakeback on a reg-infested site.

Welcome to our forums! They're pretty big, and as a result you'll often find there's a place for your questions already without having to start a new thread, and the answers might also be there if you do some reading first.

I've merged this into the thread for general US site questions, since it appears you want opinions on your best options, but we also have threads specific to Bodog/Ignition discussion and another one for their cashouts:

.
Two nitpicks.

1) 4 table limit on Ignition applies only to cash games. MTTs can play up to 20 tables IRRC.

2) If one is playing more than 4 cash tables at a time, at anything other than micro stakes, there is a decent chance that one would NOT want 27% rakeback on ACR. Odds are they would do better over the long term on the Elite Benefits VIP program. Volume, and ultimately rake paid per month, are the key factors in deciding which is best.

Good point. I only pay cash games, so had tunnel vision. Thanks for giving him more information.

If you have rakeback, are you not eligible for the rewards program?
