***THE OFFICIAL 2012 MERGE REGULARS THREAD*** - Page 9 - Small Stakes Pot Limit and No Limit

I play on Lock and have been having the same problem with my HEM. It has missed like 1,500 / 48,000 hands this month and my EV line is wayyyyy off. Not sure why this is.

Grimming is bull****, it's also grimming if you play 5 hands and you quit on your SB after you got SB first. If I get the btn first I try to always leave after my big blind, unless i'ts a huge session sometimes I don't remember or don't think about it and quit after my btn.

cant confirm this, but I'm pretty sure I'm having the same problem. I haven't noticed any specific hands missing, but I do think some are being left out

I downloaded the latest update for HEM, 1.12.09 and played 2,000 hands with no problem, obviously lolsamplesize but maybe that will do the trick.

Hello guys and GL to everyone
I am going to play at Merge network and i'm trying to choose a pokeroom without bad history & cashout problems atm.
Wanted to try RPMpoker but found out it had problems and many complaints in several threads.
What do you think of Carbon poker ? Which are best rooms in this network ?
Thanks in advance

Don't mean to interrupt the conversation but I haven't touched a fold button since black friday, Lock is on the merge network right? What is their rakeback or VIP deal currently I see like 50 sites with different figures... and cashouts to US working? Can't stand playing live.

What are people's opinions on starting tables - BBJ vs. non? Obviously I'd rather play on a non BBJ table due to the rake, but I usually end up starting BBJ tables anyway, bc it seems likely that the rec players are by nature going to be more drawn to these tables. Thoughts?

Have to beat the games for almost 1.5BB/100 more to make up for it from what I have heard but I am not a math guy so don't quote me on that.

Played about 1 hour ago, had like 20 tables at nl100 running. Very few non BBJ tables tho, a bit frustrating.

Would be nice if Merge did like Ongame have done, remove the waiting lists. So much better for getting games started.

wtffffffffffffff which skin are you on may I ask?

wow so they say they are unavailable right now pending management decisions and can possibly be returned in the future? WTF is that ****, how are they going to have only 2 NL50 tables running? **** I liked the colors on this skin too. Can anyone recommend a skin to use as a US player? I can think of Carbon off the top of my head, not even sure they are taking new players as I've been away since October. Thanks a lot playersonly, withdrawal coming up.

I am new to Merge but correct me if I am wrong. Don't the BBJ tables only run at 100NL and higher? I have client open now and have like 30 50NL tables running. Only 5 100NL SH games running though.

Yes you are correct, however for some reason playersonly has segregated us from the rest of the Merge pool as I'm looking at 2 NL50 SH tables running and 4 NL100SH tables, and zero NL100 BBJ tables running, which despite my lack of enthusiasm for higher rake, are necessary due to their overwhelming popularity.. I am terribly disappointed, might have to join Lock, I like the black on black look.

wow I'm ****ed then. Live in NY and had grandfathered through with PlayersOnly, but now they have taken a ton of the tables off starting at NL50.. Can't join anywhere else.. what a great Friday, FML.

-Does anyone know if Lock or Carbon IP check locations if say I used another state residence?
