Yeah, BBJ tables are annoying, but at least sometimes they get more fish. How much worse is the rake?

$0.50 per hand.

Occasionally while playing I'll have a table pop up prompting an action but the table will be showing info (hole cards, board, player stack/name) from a different table but it looks weird/off so it's obvious that you're not seeing the correct info on the table.

I actually switched from stacking my tables to cascading because of this issue. All I have to do to 'fix' the glitch is click the button on the top right of the table and re-cascade the tables and then it will be showing the correct information.

Besides that, I'm pretty happy with the software. HEM tracking and HUD does work, although there was an issue a while ago where HEM would miss a few hands during importing which will mess up your results slightly. This may have been fixed, I haven't updated HEM in about 2-3 weeks so I'm not sure. If you use PT3 you're in luck, as it does not have this issue for some reason.

I use HEM to take notes and it works pretty smoothly. The note taking in the client isn't too bad and I would actually use it if I played less tables (typing notes in the client steals focus from the table you are currently on and brings it to the table you are typing at) because you have the ability to mark a player with a 'fish' tag which helps with table selecting and you will also be able to see what tables/limits he is playing in the lobby.

If you do decide to play at RPM, look in the software forum and you'll find a "Table-Ninja" like software for RPM that greatly helps with multi-tabling.
im an american who switched from stars and now moving to rpm after black friday, i wanted to see if hem was working so i opened a playmoney table and started auto import and the table manager popped up and had the table listed but after about 20 hands the hud still didnt pop up on the table....im pretty sure im saving the hhs ( i beleive it automatically does) any idea if theres ne thing specific i need to do to get it to work?

I believe you need to add the HH folder. It does not detect automatically. Once you add the folder, HUD will appear.

Question to the regulars..

how exactly do these bonuses work? do they release in small increments the way they do like on FTP? I just played for a few hours and it is yet to update. It says 0% cleared and 0 vips accrued or whatever. Do they update instantly or only like once a day or so? How exactly do these bonuses work?

Made a small deposit on RPM a while back, stopped playing since I had my roll on FT. Since Black Friday I have been wondering if it is safe to deposit on RPM, also anyone from Europe want to trade FT for RPM?

Cheers

From what I've seen Black friday has been more about money laundering and bank schemes than it was about poker. The DOJ has now shown their hand, and the lawyers of other sites should be able to assist in changing any business methods that might be vulnerable.

That being said, RPM is a great site, and not currently a DoJ target... so at least for now is safe. Practice more strict BRM for the time being and wait and see like the rest of us.

Short of being the AG of NYC or one of his staff probably impossible to say what is safe for 100% certainty and what isnt.

50nl 6max was noticeably tougher today.

Are regs from higher limits playing much lower due to bankroll restrictions?

They don't update until you close and reopen RPM. I believe they release every 2%, or atleast for my last bonus that was what it was.

I just signed up for RPM and am looking forward to finally being able to get some money on here and play. Visa failed, and and I don't have UMW account. Looks like Ill have to try WU. RPMSeth or RPMJon I don't have enough posts here on 2+2 to PM people, am I still able to get the rakeback?

I bet that makes a lot of sense. Other people are asking for stakes.

Agree, if the DOJ had evidence I believe they would have indicted all sites they could. Otherwise as pointed out by Pyrostasis, they have now shown their hand. Plus we all know the DOJ loves big headlines and indicting every site they possibly could would have created bigger headlines.

I've said it a lot recently. There is no way to say with certainty that nothing will ever happen. Every player needs to evaluate the risk vs the reward for them individually. If you feel comfortable then I would say, go for it. If you don't then I don't think anyone blames you.

I will continue to play and I have always found RPM's support to be top-notch. Before Black Friday I trusted RPM as much as anyother site, and nothing has changed that, IMO.

cool thread

PM Seth B4 u play to ask if u can get this.
04-20-2011 , 12:21 PM
Should be interesting to see how much the traffic increases now that US players are getting funds back from stars and tilt...Feel bad for AP/ub players!
04-20-2011 , 12:36 PM
I was just thinking this same thing. Looks like Merge/RPM is going to be number 1!
04-20-2011 , 01:10 PM
Until the DOJ comes knocking!
04-20-2011 , 01:36 PM
Then we get our money out .. and besides that years down the road. It took 4 years for the stars/tilt ones. Oh yea, might be regulated by then. We win DOJ, losing .. but the soft games here are going away quickly I have a feeling as only regs will deposit.

I believe PT3 (not HEM) auto detects the HH location. Can somebody else confirm this?

So far it seems the games have remained soft, IMO. Though, admittedly I have dropped down a level because I Cashed out AND because I wanted to focus on working on a few area's of my game that I felt were leaks. Still I don't remember seeing the type of plays I did over the last few days. Maybe just an adjustment period.

Regardless, I'd say that will be changing soon especially with the news and the fact that they are and will continue to be the new clear #1 choice, but I hope I'm wrong.

Also, Merge has already basically doubled in traffic since Friday. I think it will continue as players will feel more confident they will get their funds if any future DOJ action is taken. Before Cereus banned US players last night, Merge had more Cash Game Players then they did!

Over Under on Merge's Pokerscout ranking next week?

Yesterday UMW live support told me that my withdrawl should change to processed today, thus far it has not. Also their live support has been 'busy' all day. One time dealer.
