Take .50/1 for example. Their rake per 100 hands about $2 more. Thats 2BB/100 less than what your win rate at stars would be! In this day in age of online poker 2BB/100 is a good win rate, so unless you were beating it for well over that at stars you can forget about it at merge.

You'd basically be playing for rake back only.

lol It's 7BB/100 at .5/1 and 1/2. Unless you're getting like 80% rakeback, good luck.

Not sure. All I can go by is my small sample according to HEM and it seems to be working out to about the same as Stars after I account for my RB. With that said, they realy should shift to the same structure as everyone else and rake pots in $1 increments. I posted this in the RPM suggestion thread.

Gotta love the no cap in HU pots though.

Has anyone been paid on their promos from these rake-raping jokers?
05-02-2011 , 02:28 PM
LockPoker has just been dumping money on me in promos.

You guys should click the little how can we improve thing in the bottom right and tell them to put bets side by side at lhe instead of stacking them. The more people that message them the more likely it is to happen...

Just received an e-mail from one of my affiliates today:

It leaked today that the Merge Network will be ending their rakeback program on June 1st.

Everyone:

Type "fart" in the chatbox of one of your games. Make sure the table is in normal view, not mini view.

Little known RPM feature. Stars didn't have this.

Depends On How Much You Want to Deposit.

NetSpend You can only deposit 250 at a time.

Anything above that you wire using Western Union To a Maximum of 1k

sum up

Netspend
$20-250$

Western Union Wire

$251-1000$

there are TONS of Rake back option. I used Carbon Poker and went with
http://www.carbonpokerrakeback.com/

You don't have to Download through them just use the

35Carbon code when Depositing it also give you 200% Bonus Up $2000

I deposited through the Net spend Method and only $250 When you deposit you get jumped to a Payment Processors site and screen where you have to re enter you're account information again. However when I deposited and another 250 I didn't have to enter my information... to it your druthers really

Be patient and deposit at 250 blocks up to the amount you want and get charged 1 at a time or get charged 70 bucks for every 1k through western union

Oh you may get charged 5 for any amount up to the maximum you deposit on a Net Spend Card. I purchased a card for 5 bucks and got a free deposit. I can deposit at my Local HEB in Texas for Free up to the maximum which i think is 2.5 k

In the Minds of the ****Tards at the Doj "Money Launder Away" Young man money launder away...

From what I've read the rake back and deposit bonus are essentially the same on most Merge Sites

I'm calling my shot I say Merge has 10k real money runners before Christmas....
05-05-2011 , 04:51 PM
Would you small stakes guys play more on Merge if the rake was lower?
05-05-2011 , 04:56 PM
i would say thats pretty much the only reason i dont play there.. the rake is just way too high
05-05-2011 , 05:20 PM
absolutely!
