Yeesh, gross. Definitely have 1 covered as per this example.

Please tell me that $2 refers to the big blind here

That is correct.

Is yatahay ACR, and how does that work in CA?

Yeah it's ACR. I just signed up like normal. No special process or anything. I had to send them a picture of my id though.

Interesting, I didn't know CA was friendly towards online poker. I guess no regulation != illegal. Pretty sure I'd be flagged in CO, but maybe if I used crypto, it's fine. Not that I'd really be expecting to cash out much, but it'd be nice to be able to practice with less at risk.

Yeah I never had any issues.

A few years back I cashed out like 15 or 20k I don't remember the exact amount from Ignition. No problem at all.

Do you prefer ignition vs acr? Appreciate your patience with all the Qs. I would rather figure online out instead of going to the poker room.

Sent you a PM in case you want a deeper dive.

Depends who you talk to and what stakes you plan to play.

But if you ask me the short of it in the current state I prefer ACR.

Both sites have bots, but Ignition I would say has more (at least in cash)
and collusion is easier and much more prevalent there. Which for obvious reasons I have a bigger problem w/ than playing w/ bots.

ACR is not anonymous so if there's a bot at the table I know right away without having to play guessing games. And I've seen virtually 0 collusion type plays.

The other things I don't like is their rewards are crap/non existent, their support is also quite bad. Not saying that ACR is world class, but I actually get reasonable responses within a day if I reach out to them.

And there's no 4 table cap like there is on Ignition. So for me all things equal I'd rather get better rewards and more volume.
The software is just way better and that's not an opinion.
