Aren't Canadian visas really hard to get? I guess if your wife got a job there then you'd be set. I looked into grinding 1 month in Canada going back home to USA for 1 month, back to Canada for 1 month, etc. but it seemed like it would raise a lot of flags in Canada and when crossing the borders 5-6 times a year.

Looks like the new HEM update makes it recognize tourney buyins, but they still arent calculating $EV differential and redline. Really annoying

If any of you guys are good at math, check out my question in the redline thread please.

Yeah, if my wife gets a job she'll get a work visa so I should be able to get a visa. Going to take awhile to get everything setup but then we should hopefully be good.

I'd give it at least a month or two to see how much better the traffic gets (it's growing every day). Unless you want to move to another country that is...

Let's keep the discussion relevant as this was a really really nice thread to start.
I am definitely noticing on merge the DONs are beatable with rakeback and if you use sharkscope there are players who are still beating them for a decent amount of money, (if you assume they have the maximum 41.5% rakeback). I guess thats the point here, the games would have to be really really tough to not do ok, with that high level of rakeback even for a low volume player. I noticed that there are definitely some sports betting folk that will just donk it up like crazy at the tables every once in a while, I guess when i see a fish on here their play style is grossly worse than what I saw on stars. However, It seems the regs as a whole play better than those on stars, I think this has something to do with the fact that people are forced to play less tables, and therefore pay more attention if they aren't amazing multitablers. Does anyone notice any of these things, or disagree? I'll post some graphs of SNG, DON, and 6max cash once I get bigger samples, I have nothing better to do as I"m waiting 1 month for my passport to move to Canada ( I am also looking for a cool roomate or two).

Oh, also is anyone havnig a problem with PT3 hud displaying on merge (it seems it only displays on half my tables at a time and its totally random, in SNGs)

I've been playing mostly the $20 DONs. There are some good regs but its not horrible yet. Biggest issue is that is the highest they go really

Where did u get the > 35 % rakeback deal? PM me pls

Cashman, you can get way more than 41.5% rb if you do it right. Make sure to sign up for super money tree and do some of the oneday and weekend VIP tier rake races.

So Ive played like 1700 of the 5.30 super turbos and have a 3% roi. My chip EV is 90% of my luck adjusted chip ev so i think thats prob pretty close to where I should be at. Im still adjusting to the format and 70/30 bubble too, so i bet playing close to perfect could get you 4-5%. Ill post a graph when i get some more games in.

Agree. Carbon has some great offers for heavy volume players like russ. I think it would take me a month to get in his daily volume.

I tried the DoNs at first but they frustrated me too much...I like the mentality of accumulating chips, not just surviving. So I switched to the regular speed 10 mans for the last couple days...gotta play 2 buy in levels though to get any decent volume...so doing the $2s and $5s til my BR is at $600($300 to start with), then gonna move to $5-$10. I would say about half the table is usually regs, but only about half those regs are good. The other half still have big VPIP/PFR disparities, so I don't think it's too bad. We'll see when I move up to the 10s, and hopefully when I'm past that the site will have grown enough to get volume at the 20s too.

I've put in about 200 games in $10 DoN

Up about $70 at the moment. DoN's are a true grind, as I could be down tomorrow. I too think they are profitable and I am building my roll this way until I can find a mid stakes game I like.
I would like to switch over to the 45 man but I don't see them filling up very fast.

On another note, I hope people use this thread to discuss the games on Carbon. I feel like there are only 3 or 4 people that post here.

Another thought of mine, Carbon needs to have better guaranteed tournaments and market the **** out of them. Bring in new meat

how many tables are you able to play at once and how often are these lower stakes supers running? I know it depends on time and day of the week but if you could just throw a rough guess out there it'd be appreciated

Looks like i usually 6-7 table. I could def handle more if it werent for the popups and how hard it is to load new games. You could prob keep 16 tables running during busier times if you either had software to help or just clicked off popups like crazy fast. I do continuous sessions fwiw.

The 5s go off pretty much always. Between 2am and 10am server time its pretty slow though. Im averaging around 40 tables per hour.

I can do 6 at the max on carbon. I don't have table ninja I assume you do?

Muilti tabling is tough on carbon

there's no ninja for merge, is there?
