why would anyone play blackjack online? In a casino I've played min stakes blackjack for the casino experience and more importantly FREE DRINKS but online?

AAC - wanna resume our degen 2PLO flips on merge? i just signed up

I really really really doubt it.

first session of merge (well only 130 hands). the only issue i have with the software is the time bank issue. it makes multi-tabling more challenging. also, i don't like the jump from 2x to 4x pre flop raising. how about 3x?

anyways, other than those two issues, i find the software to be acceptable. see you guys at the tables.

Just set up my account on merge. I decided to use RPM. I found an amazing affiliate and it pretty much also gives me another 10% RB on top of the 35%. I was considering using that or carbon.. and given the fact that I'm playing a lower stake starting off (only want to deposit twenty five percent of my roll), RPM just works better for the lower stakes.

Anyway, as soon as my PS check hits and I'm sure all my RB stuff is in place, Merge network, here i come!

Btw, ppl changing their names? Starting freshhh?

playersonly/sportsbook is not one of the main skins and has actually just joined merge last year (moved from cake).

no. they have been around forever and are a giant.

they put the bj button on every table. how could u not play?

Signed up but haven't deposited (yet?)

games so filled with regs now lol. used to be 6nl50 tables, now there are like 17... and reg infestedddddddddd
merge died ;<

seriously you guys should ask support to lock the casino games. believe me.

"Yet" is the key word there. There is nothing we can do but wait and see....unfortunately...

sigh. yeah we'll see. i'm a bit nervous, but i plan to keep as little money as possible on merge.

Keeping just a small amount on there as well.

I am essentially starting all over and it sucks. Starting back at the lowest level and building from there. I'll be getting my BR back from Stars soon, but I am hesitant about resuming at the stakes I was at there. I was moving up steadily and had some goals in mind, but I still consider myself a beginning learning player. If a lot of the higher stakes guys are sitting at 25nl and 50nl, then I may just be out of my league at this time.

You guys that moved over, what's your take on the play? 25nl similar to Stars? Tougher? I am finding at 4nl that there are still a ton of guys that play >30vpip and I already have notes on several that are playing >50vpip. What I don't see is that even down at 4nl, they don't stack off as easily as the 5nl and 2nl players did. It still seems soft, but not as soft as Stars in the same general area.

wut. most of the regs suck. and there were 2 massive fish and
2 (2006 era) players at every table.

ffs, the 4NL 6max tables right now are super nitty. I've never seen the %plyrs/flop so low. This is nuts.

They were awesome later last night.

It's not the peak time for them most likely.

yeah i don't think the games are terrible. i think people are just whining too much.

people are complaining because its different than what we are use to. That is what people do.

I am personally going to use this as an opportunity to play more sites, take advantage of different promotions and not feel tied down to any one site. Sure I like Iron Man, Black Card, FTP, Rackback races etc. but in the 48 laws of power one needs to learn to "despise the freelunch" those frequent reward program (all of them) are design to modify ones behavior. Frequent Flyer programs will make people take different flight just so they rack up the points. Same with hotels, paying with CC.....well now the chains are off.

The one thing I liked most about FTP, probably also hurt me as a poker player. It was pretty easy for me to fire up my tables at my stakes, play FR and accomplish my goal (which because of the IM, BC, RB, etc. turned to be more volume based than anything else). Now that is gone, I will have to play across more stakes (really working on my table selection), differrent games, (adding some 6-max, HU will make me better in the long run), and try to play other games like PLO8, Horse, etc.

I AM FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone tried to break into my car last night.

that sucks.

Well put Sammy


UD - It's a good thing those guys are just epic failures at both life and breaking into cars.

Yeah, but now I got a hole in my door.

My two favorite things about Rush:

1. no table selection
2. no PTR

starting and pausing a Rush session are pretty sweet too. I miss Rush.

BTW, how do people withdraw on Merge?


that sucks balls. Sorry dude.
