How does this work? Thanks.

If you PM or email me your username I can check your account and give you the correct information.

Yes.

ETA: Wish my RB provider would go with Lock on the New Network (they only cover Intertops and Cake at the Moment).

Very excited for the move. How much work will it be to get HEM database working fine on the new network with all the stats preserved from Lock hands played on Merge?

I currently get my daily 35% rakeback directly from lock (lock gave me it when I signed up for a new lock account months ago without me having to actually do anything). I think revolution will be the same

Any chance of bringing back 10 player tables for the Omaha hi-lo ring games? Much bigger pots that way :-)

I don't care about the other variants, only Omaha hi-lo :-)

Should generate more rake for the network also :-)

Sweet, I'm guessing the 6-max DON feedback was positive enough, based on this:

Quote:

Add 6 person double up turbo speed structures & buy-ins: Same Cake starting stack & blinds
3 Minute Blind Levels
$1.39+$0.11
$3.30+$0.20
$6.68+$0.32
$14.31+$0.69
$28.63+$1.37:
$57.25+$2.75:
$95.86+$4.14:
$193.05+$6.95:
Change Cake 6 person NL double up buy-in levels/rake & switch to 6 minute blinds
Keep same Cake structure except 6 minute blinds instead of 7
Remove any current Cake buy-in not listed and adjust rake as follows:
Buy-In Levels:
$1.50+$0.15
$3.00+$0.22
$6+$0.36
$15+$0.90
$33+$1.98
$60+$3.50
$90+$4.50
$200+$8
$300+$12
Remove current Cake 6 max NLH Double-Up

My bankroll and I couldn't disagree more, but I guess this ain't the thread for yet another debate on the subject.

What happens if I'm in a match on either Lock or Cake at midnight? Will it freeze it up?

You mean tomorrow night. 31 days in May, the switch happens June 1st at IIRC 0700 CET.

Valid question though. I'm wondering if, being a Merge hosted MTT, it would let you continue, but then again if you cashed the payout would go into an account that was no longer a Merge account? Or do they give them some grace period to move their account over?

It would suck if they just bounced you at 0700 CET (0200 EDT). It's not like you can finish the tourney on the new network. Best advice is to probably avoid playing that night, lol.
