what's your opinion if I keep 11k on this site for two months, what % of that do you think I'll be able to cash out come September? My account is frozen till I'm back in the US

When folks start trotting out their doom and gloom forecasts and projections, comparing situations is not "******ed." Since they have always paid out, despite some past troubled patches, previous doom and gloom, the sky is falling, or the Titanic going under prognostications, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. They've earned that from me. Maybe not from you. So knowing Merge is gonna Merge, I'm taking a wait and see attitude.

Is something ever going to be done about the bots and collusion? It's getting sickening. They're on 24/7.

What response have you received from customer support?

Doubt he will get one, always thought Bullet was a bot, always plays 100nl nothing more or nothing less, guess haven't played cash lately until recently. It seems like we have even more German players now. For the most part they all play pretty similar.

lol I know right I think all on that list are bots except maybe wannaplaybananas but I might be wrong. It's crazy because they are just so robotic and so obvious.

I was playing with one of the bots I believe it was Backham and we were 3 handed and he didn't autopost blinds. He kept timing out to the last second and the blinds would post for him. So obvious that he has some program clicking the post blind probably because it's 3 handed or something I don't know? But it only happens when It is shorthanded.

unless Merge is ok with having the bots around or they get a cut or something I don't know why they keep them around it's so obvious.

FWIW I don't think the bots are any good. They are very annoying to play vs I'd even say tough at times. But they still suck.

Anyone else getting a Java script error that happens randomly and shuts you down?

Yea I've been getting the jet runtime error that crashes the client since the recent windows 10 update =/

I get this once every 3-4 months when I have several different browsers open.

Just happened to me. One browser open.

They told me to update java and adobe, both of which are updated to latest version, I guess it has yet to happen on my laptop at least.

Certainly nothing strange going on here. Move along nothing to see.

It was a fish who believed you had overcards, I've seen much worse play.

lol he spiked his 2 outer, love it

Getting error on laptop too, pretty damn annoying.

Merge with last post please. They told me I was the only one who has messaged them with this error, they told me to update java/adobe and install quicktime 7.76, so people with this problem please message support.

I see you are using PT4. How long have you been using it on Merge and which skin(s) do you play on?

Asking because I had a huge issue with them while trying to find out if HUD's are allowed (posted about ITT). Finally found out from Sportsbook Live Help that they aren't, and I could be banned and have my funds confiscated for using one. Because of that and some other issues with them, I have stopped playing there. I have accounts on both Sportsbook and Carbon.

I guess the nightly $5k guarantee is now $15 entry instead of $11? Guess those overages aren't good for business (even though the rake is fairly high in the cash games).

Also, I suspect there are a couple different bots at 25-100nl... hometiger(some number) and one other I can't recall the name of right now. Both have Germany locations. Anyone else see them around/notice they're kind of fishy?

I played on Carbon. Only played for a few weeks, probably wont be playing there much in the future. Really like the site but just simply doesnt haven enough traffic to continue playing as of right now.

Must be a cash player. Tournament overlays are being addressed by raising entry fees or lowering guarantees. As an aside, these new/returning folks are making for even tougher fields.

Tournament fields are definitely tougher than they have ever been, wish I would of played more of them prior. I will say traffic seems lower than it has ever been. On cash tables, their are more foreign players than ever before, with mainly a German invasion. The amount of hours some of them seem to put in and staying at the same stakes makes me question whether or not they are bots.

As far as I can tell HUDs are okay? At least on Carbon.

From their website:

Or is this saying it’s okay to track hands only, and HUD must be turned off? I’ve seen people stream on Twitch with a HUD.

So far I only see the nightly $11 bumped to $15. Was there something else?

Yeah this is totally accurate I think. Maybe we should compile a list? I e-mailed support about one of them and haven't seen them since.
Also, goonewsjimcom saying "God is real. Jesus loves you. How goes it?" every time he's seated at a new table is really funny.
I'm 19millionac on there by the way.

its not saying you cant use hud, its saying you can only use your personal hh's instead of imported hh's from other peoples hands

Yea traffic has been Meh lately, same bots on pretty much every time I play though.
