There are few guys raking 5-10k a month in STTs on Merge. So there are quite a few games I'd say.

i need some help.

when i checked an email account, that i don't use very often, there was a confirmation for a $50.00 pokerhost wu deposit that i did not make. i then tried to log into my pokerhost acount(usually have auto login).there was an update and i was prompted for username/password. my password did not work so i did a reset.

when i got in to my account, there was a $.96 balance. i checked the real money ledger an there was a list of games which i did not play(almost all bounty sng losses). i contacted support, they told me that i had made the deposits. when i told them i did not, they told me to change my password and move on with my life. i asked if there was any way these transactions could have been posted to the wrong account. they said this was not possible. they said since id did not make the deposits i was not out any money.

i tried to explain that i was not looking for a refund. i was more concearned about identity theft and fraudulent play/pokerhost security. again i was told to change my password.

finally i asked if there were any other ip addresses used to access the account. he said there were two. i have never accesed my account from anywhere but home. they then told me there were actaully two $50.00 wu deposits(9/8 & 9/16). i did not make either. i have never made any deposits.

i am puzzled as to waht is going on. why would someone access an account with $.07(freeroll winnings), make two deposits, and lose all the money? more importantly, why isn't pokerhost support concearned by any of this?

no 500 today? I don't get how opting out of tournaments like these are good business for anyone. It hurts relations between PH and Carbon, and its also a financial burden on Carbon if it overlays.....of course it hurts the players but no one seems to care much about that

These guys are most likely playing Hyper Turbos. When you get to the $33 or higher range, 9-handed regular and turbo SNGs very rarely run.

Is this the correct thread to speak on affiliates for PokerHost? I've had issues with my affiliate since I signed up for PokerHost, and I think players need to know what's going on.

You are correct, I meant hypers.

Yea hypers def run. I know that nikkij### or whatever guy that's always sitting the $22 and $33 HU hypers has to be doing pretty damn good. I'm like 0/10 against him so he's got that going for him, at least.

Also, one big request in hopes that PH people do read this thread and take things into consideration.

When you go to register for something if there could be a popup that reminds you that you have a ticket for something... that'd be great. Twice now I've registered things solely because I had a ticket. Both times I decided to be a moron and forgot to click the drop down menu and select use ticket.

This is probably a minor thing for most, but me being a moron have caused me to do this twice. I lost both times (HU matches trying to flip tickets).

/semi rant

New (and improved) MTT schedule that Kahn mentioned is now available to see in the main lobby. Just some changes that I noticed from a click look at the tournament selection:

•Added guarantees to some non-holdem/Omaha MTTs, i.e. HORSE and Stud scheduled tournaments now have guarantees
•Added a Nightly "Super Deep" High Roller
•Added over 10 new special guarantees to the Saturday + Sunday schedule

Overall, I think the changes will be good for MTT players. Some of the daily guarantees that we were used to were lowered, but PokerHost definitely up for it with the guarantees they added on Saturday and Sunday.

The revamp to the Saturday schedule is what stands out the most to me. They've added a number of very large guarantees that will almost put Saturday on the same playing field as a Sunday schedule. So I guess instead of just "Sunday majors," we now have Saturday AND Sunday majors.

Looks good, PokerHost!

Does PokerHost still have that dumbass thing about p2p transfers and playing a certain amount or whatever? So stupid

this is actually untrue as of today oct 1st. sportsbook (and from what i hear PO) has segregated themselves. 3 guarantee tourneys a day and mtts are crap now. pokerhost/carbon (and aced?) are still looking good though.

Yes, PokerHost still follows Merge's rules regarding P2P transfers as well as discouraging International Money Laundering with play-through requirements that ensures P2P is used for what it is intended for. i.e. a bankroll for another player.

Apparently on sept 27th (I think?) PH implemented a restriction on P2P transfers that doesn't allow any player who has been on the site for less than 6 months to send or receive P2P transfers. Does anyone have anymore information about this? Are there any exceptions ie transfers to your affiliate or anything else?

MG req: 9/27

CIH: 10/1

Not sure, but it might have been even sooner as they don't process on weekends I think.

From what I understand, there are no exceptions.

is cashier down?

isn't pokerhost not going to offer much b/c of what carbon did?

Yes

PokerHost has no intention of changing it's VIP system if that's what you're asking.

where did all the mtts go that were in the lobby yesterday lol.....?

They were there a couple hours ago . Now almost everything $11+ is gone

I don't understand why they can't just eliminate the guarantees, but still run the mtt's

Yea, I just noticed this. $11 MTTs with a $100 Guarantee. I hope they make some changes soon, because as of right now, the only days worth playing (because of the new schedule as it looks now) are Saturday and Sunday.

It's almost like they followed in the footsteps of Intertops--cutting some guarantees to a fraction of what they once were, then just removing the others completely from the schedule.

All of the new mtts are still on Carbon, it looks like Pokerhost is going the Intertops route and opting out of them. So far today only the new nightlies are in the Pokerhost lobby as far as worthwhile tournaments go.

more info about this is greatly appreciated..
