Is this the right place to post this? Please move if not...
I'm playing on Carbon Poker. I hit a few good streaks on STT and ready to move up to $11 STT. There's no one playing on there! Even the $5 games take about 20mins to fill! I remember the days before black friday... The games use to fill up in seconds! I really really miss that!
I'm at home a lot since I'm freelance so some days I just want to play ALL DAY. 8 to 10 hrs. I might have to switch to cash games... I really enjoy STT though...
I've read that Carbon Poker is where all the US players play. There's not many of us that actually play anymore huh? Anyone try Lock poker? Are there more STT games going on there?
Sorry about the post. I really needed to bitch. Hate having to sit and wait for the game to start. Don't even get me started on trying to multitable STT... There aren't enough GAMES!!!
Sadly Lock doesn't have higher sng traffic than Merge.
Just don't play till like 4:30pm when people are done with work/school/whatever. It's ****ing god awful before then. When I play early the only option is to mix formats...play 6m 9m DoN super turbo etc all at once
you'll probably need to spread your money across multiple sites, and try and get enough games loaded up that way. Load 2 from carbon, 2 from cake, 2 from bodog. etc. this sucks but.....
I guess I could try to play more DoNs... My girlfriend gets home around 7ish so if I start at 4:30, I'll have to stop at 7ish since there's no way I can concentrate with her around...
Spreading my money across multiple sites sounds like a great idea! I'll look into that...
I just load every $5-$20 9 man that runs and I can still get ~15 games an hour. If you also mixed in some 6 mans or DoNs you can get in plenty of games during the right hours.
I think a lot of it really has to do with us being a bit skeptical to load $$ on another site. I say us because I'm one of them; I'm dying to play as well but not ready to risk the $$ just disappearing into oblivion as it did on BF.
In other words, I think a lot of US players are still waiting to make sure playing on Carbon (or elsewhere) is actually safe. What's worse, is that if experienced internet players are skeptical, inexperienced (i.e. fish...and of course there are experienced fish) are probably even more skeptical. They likely figure that they've lived without playing internet poker for this long, why risk it now?
I built my original BR playing STTs but there isnt much going on at merge. I ended up having to start playing DONs, which are actually pretty lucrative. A fair amount of them are going at the same time, I am able to play 6 at a time after about ten minutes. The higher you go the more are going on at a time, which I found kind of surprising.
yeah. im playin merge an like cali raider says just load everything from 5-20 and you'll be 10 tabling pretty easy.. unless your going early morning time.. then u need multiple sites.
