Completely revamped, we have worked with all our pros to go through the schedule with a fine tooth comb to really mix things up.

And of course for tournament players dont forget this: http://lockpoker.eu/lockops/

We still haven't made a final decision on the banned states, will have more info later on this.

On your first login after June 1st when you click on the icon it will go through the same process of the regular software update only instead of installing a new version of the Merge software it will install the Revolution software.

Your cashier and dashboard will be the same as before, you will need to make no changes.

To give an example of our size we accounted for 66% of buyins for Poker Maximus, and we average about 10,000 real money players every day.

I need a table ninja like tool lol, can multi up to 14 on merge, but it's hard as hell on cake2.0

That's a problem on your end. HEM HUD works fine for me.

will we finally be able to double rebuy and auto add on?

I've read on here already that Cake/Revolution already had that sorted so yes that problem will be a thing of the past.

That^^. And if withdraws are still beat on Cake, will I have to option to change my play along with my RB over to Lock if my Cake account has been dormant? This skin to skin RB transfer was allowed on the Cake Network provided your account was dormant for the required time, 90 days I believe.

I was in the process of making the change from Cake to Intertops because I refused to play at Cake because of the withdraw issues but this news has me at a standstill. I would be totally happy to make the change over to Lock provided I can get RB, or to start playing at Cake again under Locks wing provided the withdraw issues are fixed.

Shane, have you played and tested the most recent cake software? I'm not talking about playing one or two tables. I'm talking about multi-tabling at least six or seven tables. It completely sucks. It lags and is almost completely unplayable. If this is not fixed I will not be playing on the new lock. Kind of ridiculous when I own a pc that can run some of the most hardware intensive most recent pc games but struggles to run the craptastic cake client.

Fix it or you will lose many many players. Myself included.

Sadly my multi-tabling skills (complete lack thereof) make this hard for me test personally, but Im trying to get some better feedback from our pros on this. Cake have told us that the performance issues that came out when 2.0 was first released have been fixed with an update.

One question I do have is if you have the graphics set at low quality, the Cake guys said a lot of people that write to them with mutli-tabling problems have the graphics on the highest quality and this does put a drain on the client.

Suggestions:

-Tables playing at should be bolded in lobby

-Total overhaul of promos, currently offer almost zero value...I currently never have ANY incentive to put in volume. And give the players with a million and one gold cards, which are currently pretty much useless, some real value for them before you discontinue them so they wont feel cheated.

-Before you worry about any new features, do anything you can to make the software run more smoothly. This should be priority #1. Some updates have helped, I dont see much lag if i'm only playing like 6 tables or so, but 8+ gets laggy, yes.

-Considering CPN has pretty decent traffic, their current tournament schedule is pretty bad. A weekly Omaha MTT with a nice guarantee would be awesome.

Questions:

-What will happen to my 35% RB deal?

-What games will you be offering? Any different than the current games available on Cake?

-I see you mentioned in another thread we would earn POINTS via the dealt method at 10 per $1 raked and distributed evenly to the table. Will RAKEBACK also be dealt, then?

-What advantages will I have playing at the Lock sin instead of my current skin at Intertops?

-What can points be used for? Will there be a store? Can we purchase bonuses or ring game tickets (super-ultra-mega kudos and my undying loyalty if we are allowed to buy ring game tickets)

PS:

-Big thumbs up for already working on the Mac version.

-Btw: The initial schedule for LockOps looked like it had a great variety and good guarantees, but perhaps a few too many rebuys. I for one would be perfectly happy with a smaller guarantee if it means a rebuy will become a freezeout.

Wanted to check out this crappy Cake software for myself. Was going to try to sit on a few micro tables on Cake with the $35 that have been sitting in my account doing nothing since I think 2006.

But it won't let me sit. Anywhere. Haha. Keep getting a pop-up window that says, "Seat Denied - The table is actively hosted. Please choose another table."

I'm getting this pop-up even when I try to sit at a completely empty table. Real money or Play money, doesn't matter. It won't let me sit. Have re-started client twice.

So yeah...I'm going to say the software kind of sucks.

That does not sound promising, sounds like there is a problem with your account of software. Did it autoupdate when you loaded it up?


And for everyone else with performance issues I have one of our pros testing it for me now and recording his session so I can post a video.

Be also interested to hear from anyone else that updates to the latest software and gives it a try like Bob did, hopefully it lets them sit at a table though.

It auto-updated, yes.

I uninstalled it from my computer and then reinstalled but still same problem.

But it had remembered all of my same settings including my log-in so I guess that means it wasn't completely uninstalled. Kept the info via cookies or cache or something.

I don't think that is necessarily the software and something is wrong with your account. You should email cake support and see what is going on. Cause I have no problems with my account and never received that message.

Its 3am here so none of my Cake contacts are online, I will run it by them in the morning.

Meh, it's not that important to me. Just funny I guess. I have almost no money on there and just felt like checking out exactly how crappy this software really is. Can wait until May 30 for big change-over on Lock as well....where I assume I will be able to sit at a table just fine.

Are u sure? I'm using holdem manager 1 and don't want to pay for version 2. Which version do u have ?

yes my hud works fine as well, it might be something to do with your preffered seating, on merge compared to your hem one?

Hey Shane,
I'm currently playing on other Merge skins but I'm more than fed up with Merge's schedule and cashout and so on. I'm happy to give y'all my business, but I'm wondering when we can expect to hear some info on what sorts of promotions and rakeback and so on will be available for the purposes of luring Merge players to the new Lock.

Can you comment on when we'll get info on rakeback, bonuses, etc?

Good news, hope that the mac clients ready by the end of the month

I say this only half kidding, half serious....

hopefully Lock isn't using player deposits to help pay for this aquistion of the Cake network

well played

I would bet that lock ends up regretting this decision, its a lot easier to switch skins on merge than it is to switch to the horrendous cake software.

I'm using HEM2 I have not tried using HEM1 since they started allowing HUDS so I'm not sure on that version. I would check the HEM website about compatibility with HEM1 and Cake. I can guarantee you HEM2 works flawlessly for me as it does on other sites.

Why the hate for the cake software? It`s a lot better than the crappy merge client and I didnt have problems playing 9+ tables.
