Read. He said 50NL.

I just looked and there's 3 tables of 6/9 50NL. He's obviously in the US so this is prime time.

Leave the trolling to smarter people ty.

Everleaf clearly has the better deposit bonus/Rakeback. Bodog does not offer Rakeback and their Points-to-cash system is pretty bad. Everleaf has grown recently, but Bodog still has more traffic. Bodog only allows 4 tables at a time, Everleaf allows 8 currently and they are set to release new software on the 15th(though it's been pushed back once already) that will allow more then 8 tables. Everleaf is mainly 4max/6max cash games, but the FR traffic has picked up from non-existent to slightly better than that.

You may also want to consider Intertops. They have a separate Cashier then Cake and cashouts are reported to be much much faster than Cake and are par, or better, then some of the other US facing sites. They offer RB and other promo's and have a decent amount of traffic. Just a thought and wanted to mention it. Most people rule out Cake, and I would also, but some of the skins on the Cake Network may be worth a look.

I'm about to sign up at Merge now... Can anyone tell me any differences between Carbon & Black Chip Poker? How are the cashout times with the two? Also, do they have the same software?

Thanks

They are both on the Merge network and share almost all of the same games, and yes the same software. One potentially major difference in the VIP reward system. Carbon is monthly-based and Black Chip is lifetime-based. In a nutshell, you can get to higher rewards faster with Carbon, but you need to maintain that volume every month in order to keep that level. So which is better depends on your playing habits. As for cashouts, you should read through the more recent pages in the Merge cashout thread. As far as I know, they're both in the 6-8 week range now.

I'm sure you get this question alot so sorry in advance?

I recently deposited 100 bucks into Carbon Poker. The 9 player SnGs take way too long to be filled.

I just want an online pokersite that is as similar to Full Tilt Poker as possible- where you can join games quickly, lots of tournaments, and a easy to use interface and menu system.

I'm sure there isn't a US site that meets this criteria but I'm hoping it does.

Also, how long would it take for Carbon Poker to withdraw my bankroll back into my debit card?

If your a Sit N Go player your best option is to sign up to multiple sites and try to get your volume in by playing across multiple Networks. This will give you the best option to get more volume in. You may have to register for 3 on Merge, 3 on Bodog, and 2 on Cake for example, but that's going to be your best option. Even then your still not going to get near the volume you did playing at Full Tilt. Hopefully that changes as more players continue to sign up, but I wouldn't hold my breath

is it normal for them to ask you to fax a photo ID?
10-17-2011 , 07:15 AM
email is usually easier imo, but yes

It varies a bit but 4-6 weeks seems to be the current length, it is improving slightly so more to the 4 week than the 6 week.

I play on bodog but wasn't aware of other sites that take us players. What are they?

There are multiple sites that take US players. Your best bet is to look through the last few pages of this thread but the Networks currently taking US players are:

Everleaf(Minted Poker, Poker4Ever, LuvinPoker, RaiseAndFold, etc....)

Merge(Black Chip Poker, Carbon Poker, Lock Poker, RPM, etc....)

Cake(Cake Poker, Intertops Poker, Broadway Tables, etc....)

Yatahay(True Poker, Americas Card Room(formerly Doyles Room), BookMaker, etc....)

Where do you play now (if you haven't transitioned to live or something)? I am trying Carbon, but there is only like 4 full tables at a time (which equates to about what? 1 rush table?). so I'm finding a hard time getting a good profit rate - any suggestions?

Many players are playing on multiple sites in order to put in some volume.

FYI to those that don't know, Everleaf network has increased their rake on Euro tables by 20%.
10-19-2011 , 04:30 AM
the only advice i can give you if you are joining the merge network, is to join on sites that have a sponsored forum here (rpm, carbon) since their representatives can help you faster than standard costumer service. rpm has a live chat as well.
10-19-2011 , 07:38 AM
i am biased but fwiw blackchippoker have very fast and efficient vip customer support that is separate from the networks standard support.

Anyone else think the AIOF step heads up sng's on merge are pointless? I have had a $300 step 8 ticket for a while now and I sit every night and no one comes to play me. I feel like it is a waste of $300 since they won't let me exchange for anything else. CarbonChris anyway I can get that exchanged for other tourney tickets?

So far alll my money is in PokerView and ya im a US player. I do withdraw some after I grind out. GL
