i played a bit on merge but didnt like the format so much.

Recently got on WPN, and it appears to be very similar to Stars. which helps with this forum since we can still be sharing hands have have same style feedback.

Traffic appears to be good, they have option of rakeback or loyalty system which is also very similar to stars.

Best ran network is WPN, but the traffic is only OK for a US site.

Softest/biggest playerbase is Bovada, but they only have turbos (and player name are anonymous and there are no rewards nor transfers).

Merge has something to offer (soft opponents), but their policies are not really transparent (no transfers nor any real rewards it seems either).

Bovada used to be called Bodog, WPN has two major companies (Black Chip and America's Room), Merge has two main companies (Carbon and PlayersOnly/Sportsbook).

I like wpn the best and it offers the most for players despite not huge traffic. I'd rather support WPN with their solid rewards in trying to create a playerbase then continue with the garbage that is merge.

I am getting really close to buying a cheap PC to use on WPN. I wish they had a mac client already, though.

How is the rake on the HUSNGs at WPN?

It's reasonable, not as high as some of the euro sites can be.

Seems like Merge has the lowest rake then?

Prob but with 10 percent rakeback and anonymous lobbies ain't helping much

Yea, you have to calculate the return on your rake (VIP or rakeback).

Merge is still competitive, but the VIP is 10% and going down (I think they are eliminating it this month, I read something on pokerfuse).

Black Chip is very competitive.

Bovada is also really good when you consider how there are very few regs and so many bad opponents (player name are anonymous there, so many players refuse to play there, same bc of a lack of hypers, many won't play there).

Thought I'd update a little...

I bought a PC laptop to play on WPN and Betcoin.

Although I like the rewards and rakeback and such, I gotta say, between the slow software and lack of husng traffic, I am not super stoked.

Merge I can get a game pretty much anytime, the software is rad and super fast, and the rake is lower. Oh yeah and the competition is softer.

I'll reserve judgement for a little while, and for sure the really cool thing is being able to use Bitcoin to cash in and out and still play the WPN sngs (on betcoin), but it seems like merge is notably superior for HUSNGs.

from what i have noticed also, the betcoin site shares "most" of the sng's.

I noticed they had the 2.40 ones but not the 6 ones, it jumped straight up to 12 from what i seen.
