This.

While these guys are very exploitable and easy to play against, it's just not worth the problems they create. Fish don't want to play with people timing out to the fullest every hand and it costs everyone money. Everytime I try to play cash on WPN it makes me want to kill myself because all of the people limp folding their way to The Beast.

Goninjagoninjago is the nut low. Dude is playing like 3 tables sometimes and still manages to use almost his entire time allotment on 80% of hands.

Great attitude you've got there, is this how you react to situations in the real world?

THIS SO MUCH! Some people can't handle 20+ tables, but I can handle 30 tables like a rec player handles 4. PH has lost me as customer. This 10 table limit is still in effect and has completely killed any chance at the leaderboard I had.

Yes, I react logically in the real world as well.

WTF is this **** man? I was gna try to push for the lb playing dons...but obviously you know that cant happen unless i can 20+ table ALL day. This really has screwed up my month! The only answers I got were to wait patiently and not contact support...then once I contacted support they told me the 10 table limit is a new rule! It would be nice if someone had some correct information instead of hearsay!

If this 10 table limit didn't exsist I'd put my $ where my mouth is!

If I [were able to] reg every 1-11$ don I should be able to keep 25-30 tables going for most of the day and when volume died/as needed I'd add in hyper's. With a little luck (hyper guys need to slack off) it wouldn't be too bad and I'd be up pre-rb.

Dr0n3 I would bet you any amount of money that you playing only DoN can not pass me on the lb. if this table limit gets fixed I would be happy to book a prop with you

Wait, what? Of course he should have to pay a fee, but hopefully it isn't $250.

How are you envisioning this is going to work? Merge have sent the money to the processor, and the processor has issued the check - there's no way they can just "cancel the check" at Merge without having to involve the processor. Not only that, but they'd have to put a stop payment on the check with the bank, unless they are just going to take his word that the check was lost and hope he doesn't cash it later.

I agree that if I were to 100% play dons I could not play more than someone knowingly trying play more hypers than me. I was hoping for some slackers. (last month seemed to only have 1 guy going really hard) Given that a don lasts >40min and a hyper lasts ~10 min it's not that surprising lol. I was counting on being able to play longer sessions of more tables than my opponents and give them a run for the $.

I had computer problems for the first week of last period and was not able to play. I have noticed that games are running a lot slower this month than in previous months though. Not sure if this is good (making it less games to win) or bad (harder to get lots of games).

I wonder if any of you have any experience of how long it will take to earn that VIP points.

I have 90 days to achieve the points and I'm going to play 9 tables maybe more on nl 25 or 50.

Is it doable?

EDIT: ofc its doable but what I wonder is if you can give me a hint of how many hands nl 25 I need to play before I earn example 1k VIP points.

Thx in advance

There appear to now be 3 different table # schemes active on Merge depending on what skin you're on. 18 tables or 10 depending. And different for cash, sngs and mtts.

Exactly this. For 99% of players it is basically an extra 6.7% for a few months.

From my experiences with this, the fee has always been $250.

Their software team is such a joke.One of the Carbon reps told me that they have two software developers. Seems like a company that relies so heavily on software would have more.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to make a clear and concise, non-ranting post about MTT feedback. Those posts have been gathered and with those suggestions in mind, a pretty extensive look at the numbers (old and new) is going to take place. Within a week or two we should see some more changes to the MTT schedule
