How often do you request cashouts? How many tables do you usually play?

Lol. I still like pretty much everything about WPN better, except the full ring traffic. Which is number one priority to me. Sick pun though.

WPN thought they were onto something and then overnight Merge made them realize they aren't even close. The ring games there are still pretty unplayable overall. Merge pot sizes are usually at least 2-3x larger and even with higher rake and no rakeback the games are more profitable. Though, you can find some amaaaaazing games on WPN now and then.

If only Merge HU rake wasn't capped at a ridiculous $1.... Though I assume they do so to discourage regs from playing. Nothing but bum hunting to the extreme from 25HUNL-$400HUNL because of it.

Merge software > WPN

And its not even close, even w/ out the color coding. So much easier to multi table at Merge compared to WPN

Now if they can get a debit card outta Costa Rica to cash out with we would be in business

I've said it before, but I think Merge has the 2nd-3rd best software in the industry, which is a huge advantage. If they continue to pay in a reasonable amount of time I wouldn't be surprised to see Bovada type numbers barring they don't do something completely ******ed to stunt growth again. I'm thinking (and hoping) those days are behind now that the new management has finally gotten the network the way they want it.

You can still color code on some skins, fyi.

It's gross and hurts the stakes all the way up the ladder. I wish they would go to a random seat draw cash lobby to help curb the disgusting amount of bum hunting that goes on. I'm not sure what's worse though, the BH's or the bots.

Who would you give #1 and #2 to? Just curious. I always thought Merge software was about as good as it can get.

Poker Stars is far and away the best in the world without question and I'd probably rank FTP 2nd.

PokerStars is definitely the best but I think that Merge's animated smileys are the most ingenious method of bringing in rec players that I've seen in any software.

The smileys are pretty awesome!

I love seeing guarantees still getting smashed after they raised them the other day. Hopefully they stay aggressive with raising them. If they go to a $30K GTD $215 HR I could see it eclipsing $40K very quickly. It's been $35K the last few nights and has been over $30K every night (or almost) since desegregation.

WP, Merge!

What exactly is the reason for the increase in traffic over the past two weeks. I know that PokerHost split from the network, and some games/players were segregated? Idk... would like to know I am curious. I definitely am encouraged by the surge in the player pool, and I have noticed the games are playing quite a bit softer.
