Hi folks,

This is a note to inform you that the 6-max double or nothing SNG tournaments have been removed from game offerings Merge-wide.

Best,
RPM Seth

Thank you for the update sir. Will they be back? The 6 max DONs were my bread and butter. Now I gotta fight thru 4 more monkeys for the same amount of winnings? This makes me sad and Id love to hear more about the whys.

Cheers

my first thought would be to avoid collusion obv

I usually don’t complain about sites, but WTF...

I really feel like Merge is going in the wrong direction.

very happy to see this, the colllusion/softplay was ridiculous in these. they musta caught 1 too many teams

I think removing them is a good play, since it must take a lot of resources to police and i am sure a lot of collusion slips through the net.

I have to disagree with TheRaiderr here. Ive read articles and seen videos of people stating how easy it is to find collusion with a log script or two and some common sense. Of course working evidence I have not seen. But it does seem feasible. My concern is are the poker rooms even bothering to take this simple step? The minimal evidence Ive seen says no, its easier to just yank the game. Like pokerstars when the DON collusion got so bad they couldnt ignore it any longer they just yanked the troubled tooth and be done with it. As someone who enjoys that troubled tooth I find the lack of any effort at all to correct the situation offensive.

RPMSeth is great and so is RPM Poker. I am just venting some frustration as I watch the poker games I enjoy slowly dry up and disappear altogether. Boohoo for me but sharing my frustration helps Carry on.

Why did they go? They were good and fun to play.

Wow really wtf? So many people were grinding these out steadily and legitimately........no one is going to play the 10 man DoN's so Merge just fked themselves out of a lot of rake money it doesn't make any sense

Agreed. The 10 max games are horrible in every way. More suckouts, more competition for the exact same payout and worst of all it takes about twice as long to grind out a single game! Boo!

if they removed them it just shows that the cheating was just so high they had to get ridda them alltogether, it really was ridiculous

I've been playing in the 6 max DoN's as a easy way to build my bankroll up. I thought they were fun and fast. And there were lots of bad players in them If anybody was cheating, they weren't very good at it... Besides, is it any harder to collude in a 10 man DoN?

this , bah

This...

I played a bunch of these, I didn't see too much soft playing and the guys were bad anyway a lot of the time lol

Least I won't be paying the absurd rake taht was charged -_-

If your still taking suggestions I would love it if you could move the allin or nothing Sng somewhere else in the list. Im looking at the Sngs sorted by buyin and at the $5 level there are two Don games above and three Don games below and right smack in the middle is an allin or nothing game! Whats that about?

At least once a day when I load up four Don tables I get an allin or nothing mixed in as well. Sure I should pay more attention but cmon placing one game type right smack in between 5 of a different type of game is just poor planning.

Cheers
