Any chance to add a SNG leaderboard or something. I would like to grind hypers but I can't do that without traffic.

I challenge someone to give me a name in the top 20 that is beating 25nl. However when the beast is over most will be up money for the month. And most would win if there was no bbj takeout. Most would crush if it was regular rake. So it might even be like 15% there.
You cannot beat 25nl. I grind those tables 12 hours a day sometimes. I know every player. No one, according to my database, is beating the game. Any many players, even a few in the top 10 are down 2k plus, in which case they would not be up at the end of the month, but would barely break even.

No on synchronized breaks. Even though nearly every scheduled tournament starts at :00 on the hour, they still haven't managed to sync up breaks. There is also a super cool bug that lists the countdown to break incorrectly in the lobby: it counts down to 0 minutes, then adds another 5-8 minutes when it's done just to keep you guessing. Exciting stuff for tournament players waiting to go pee.

Yes they have auto-add on for R/A's now, although the first hand after the break is still played without add-on, and if you happen to bust on that hand it works as a type of extra rebuy that buys you back in with 3,000 chips. Pretty inexplicable.

ACR Rep:

Can I volunteer to be your pro bono tournament schedule/structure consultant?

As already mentioned, the complete lack of simple Freezeout tournaments without re-entry is a glaring omission. Also, certain parts of the day are just entirely devoid of non-turbo tournament options for no apparent reason. At 8 AM server time there is a $5 "regular" tournament, or at least as close as this site gets to a regular tournament. It's actually a re-entry of course. This tournament always gets a reasonable turnout (40+ entrants anyway, reasonably good for this site early in the morning) but then no other non-turbos start for THREE hours? There are literally no tournaments starting at 9 AM, no turbos, nothing. Then at 10 AM there's $5 rebuy turbo (puke? nobody plays this) and a $20 "regular" (i.e. re-entry) which is obviously too high buy-in for the majority of traffic since most days it goes without the 5 minimum registers, and doesn't even run. Turn this into a $10 FO with a GTD on it and everyone wins. For those of us playing at this time of day, you get on at 8 AM, register for the $5 tourney, and hope you can keep yourself entertained one tabling until 11 AM. There's no reason for that.

More small stakes FOs and a SNG leader board are needed. SNGs are dead it's tilting :-/

Is this due to the extra rake with bbj and feed the beast? What would you suggest then to play 50 nl?

There was actually a SNG race a few months ago, but traffic didn't pick up enough to continue it ... I am happy these days if I find someone for a Turbo HU SNG ...

What about just playing the regular tables for 25 nl? Not the bbj tables. Do those rarely get many players?

I'd be happy if there was a $500 race for sngs. I just need something to attract the 3rd player to join my tables because once I get a 3rd player it normally starts up shortly after.

PT4 works without any problems, you only need to make sure in the settings on ACR that your hand history is saved and select the correct folder in PT4 for the import and HUD to work.

The PT4 beta has just been finalized and the sale of the official PT4 started, the beta will revert into the usual 30 day free trial (available on the PT website) but once that time is up, it will only have limited options. If you had a previous version purchased, check your account on the website to see if you are eligible for a free upgrade or discount.

I just bought the micro version of PT4. It imported my hands and its working on the tables (quite simply). But it says that every tourny Ive played is $0.00 buy in. So graphs and everything make 0 sense since WIN and ROI is $0.. anyone know anything?

Thank you

We are currently developing Synchronized Breaks and anticipate launching this in the next 30 days. We are have scheduled fixing the two bugs outlined above.

How are you going to know which person playing on GiftofGab's account you should send that car too? Or you can send it to his buddy Johnwallin who he's also colluding with. I guess you really can't go wrong either way
