Hey guys. I may be looking for a new room to check out but Im a little concerned with traffic at sites that are not known as "the big 2". I checked out pokerscout and it seems there is little traffic on this network. Can any SNG regs chime in on how long it would take to load up a bunch of SNG's at once?

What stakes do you play? What type of SNG's?

Pokerscout is inaccurate FWIW. The traffic is much higher than they list. It normally shows around 5,000+ players on when I play. Sometimes its 6,000+. Also Pokerscout shows that Merge grew at a rate of 225% year over year so the traffic will continue to get better and better.

Personally I am glad I joined and the SNG traffic seems to be better than what it was just a few months ago when I downloaded a skin and checked how fast they loaded. Personally, I would recommend that you go ahead and get an account. Even if you have to load from one of 'the big 2' as well as RPM. The games seem softer on Merge, IMO. Therefore even if you could only get 3-4 STT's going at the stakes you play it would be +EV. Add in a FDB, 35% Rakeback, other Bonus/Promo's, and RPM's GREAT support and it would be +EV to deposit and play as many as you can on RPM even if you have to play on "the big 2" as well to load your normal amount of tables.

Merge S&G's are picking up for sure, and you sure wont find any softer players on a US site than there are on merge for low stakes.

Agreed, but shhhhhhhhh! LOL
