Site of SnGs for U.S. players?

Hi 2+2,

Been a while, hope everyone's doing well!

For those of you still in the United States, is there a particular site you find to have the most SnG traffic? I know Merge is still out there and I checked out Carbon, but the SnGs barely run at almost any level it seems.

Hope you like 10bb 6max, or mtts with guarantees that aren't really guarantees. WB

Merge is best, Bovada is pretty good though if you don't mind anonymous players. I have no experience with cake though.

Re: Site of SnGs for U.S. players?

Sadly Merge is your best bet :/ Cake, America's Card Room, and Everleaf/Minted all have much worse traffic especially for tournaments

Didn't Bodog/Bovada stop serving US players when 2012 started?

If you're gonna grind/rake a lot RPM or Lock are the best skins afaik, Lock perhaps with the upper hand with the new cashout options. Best RB/promos fo sho imo

Not as much skill in super turbos. You really have very few moves. You need a nice bankroll to overcome the variance. I really hate merges super turbos structure to be honest. I liked Full Tilts the best.

Re: Site of SnGs for U.S. players?

ya merge is definitley the best,even though theres not much stt traffic.


This probably aint the greatest place to post this but oh well,I grind non turbo sng's on lock and know almost all of the regs,and one day i just had finished a sng and closed down lock,and opened rpm and the same people with the same sn's were playing an active sng,im just curious how this is.Because any time i try to open rpm while i have lock up it doesnt let me.Thx 4 any help

It's time to game select multiple structures! Would visit the various site threads throughout the forum (IE the merge sng discussion thread) to get a feel for the games and just find out what runs and what looks good and start firing em up.

They share the same player pool, along with the other skins on the Merge network. So whether you are running the RPM client or the Lock client, you will see the same players. This is precisely why you can't have both running at the same time -- to prevent a single player from entering the same game with multiple accounts.

I'll be pumping out Super Turbos on Merge soon...at least, that's the plan for now. Prob have to mix in reg/turbo speeds, cash, MTTs, and such.
