You don't click on the coupon. You go to the lobby of the tournament you want to play. Under Buy-In Options you click the arrow to drop down the options. Then you click on the coupon option. Ah. Is this what you meant by you couldn't click on the coupon?

I asked this about a month ago and didn't get an answer, so I'll try again.

Can I use Poker Tracker 4 when playing on Merge?

Their "Prohibited Software Policy" says 'betting assistors that suggest actions based on hand ranges' and 'software that advises play based on equity or ICM' aren't allowed during play. I believe PTR4 does both those things, so NOT allowed, right? Another player and I debated this in the chatbox, and he said it doesn't do those things, but I think he's wrong. I know the PTR website says it calculates equity and ICM. Don't want to get kicked from the only site I play on these days.

I did the PTR4 30 day free trial, but only used it offline to analyze my hand histories. I'm thinking of buying it, but I don't want to if I can't also use it online.

Have you asked the site you play on if you can?

I figured it out was always registering from tourney lobby instead of main lobby which is the only place you can use coupon. Still sucks the cs doesnt answer though.

Sounds like they're talking about programs that actually calculate equity in-game, neither PT or HM do either of the things you quoted

Auto-rebuy at tables? Since the last update (I haven't been on for awhile), I cannot get autorebuy to work. Anyone else having this issue?

Yep had the same problem. The update today seems to fix it.

carbon poker has a 5% charge for bitcoin cash outs? That is ridiculous. I am cashing out. 2 players said they would collude against me and I reported it to carbon and they said their ip addresses are different so they aren't colluding even thought they both called just about all of my raises pre. Is that appropriate for players to say we will collude against u in chat and be allowed to play?

The Merge Gaming Network is licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission and offers a digital gaming platform built from the ground up by a team with years of experience operating many of the traditional software provider offerings.

So i contact the gaming commission to see how this rule works with them. I know at casino they are banned off the casino property. This is what the gaming commission said.

Thank you for contacting the Kahnawake Gaming Commission (KGC). Carbongaming is not a KGC licensed Permit Holder. Additionally we are not able to access the site to check where the company is licensed. I am sorry we are not able to assist you. I recommend you contact the site directly and ask where they are licensed.

This is merge response to who their gaming commission is...

We as a gaming and entertainment company are committed in delivering a top gaming experience to all of our players by directly supervising all of our game offers with our RNG solution, which ensures a fair and safe environment in all instances to our loyal customers.
Our site uses the cryptographically-secure RNG (Random Number Generator) system found in Microsoft's CryptoAPI. "Cryptographically secure" means that the RNG is so completely random that even a large amount of computer analysis cannot predict or detect patterns in the output, a fact that has been validated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

I've only been charged a 3% fee on my last 4 cash outs.

If you have some reason to believe they were colluding against you, you should let Merge know. Players saying they will collude against you doesn't mean anything.

Today I was playing on a 25 cent cash table. I was involved in a hand with another player that I play with fairly often, although we have never spoken and don't know each other. A third player at the table, who I've never seen before (I'm a regular here), said he was going to report us to Merge for collusion because we had both checked the river on a hand, which he thought was "sketchy". He said he was going to ask them to check to see whether we had ever done anything like this before, or if maybe we were husband and wife or something.

I don't know how to convert hand histories, but will try to detail the hand below.

Villain: $26.77
Hero : $48.14

Pre-Flop
Villiain is UTG with Ah, Ac - Bets $0.85
Folded around
Hero is Button with Kc, 10h - Calls $0.85
SB, BB fold

Flop (Pot - $2.05)
Kd, 6s, Ks

Villain - Bets $1.11
Hero - Raises to $2.22
Villain - Calls

Turn (Pot - $6.49)
8d

Villiain - Checks
Hero - Checks

River (Pot - $6.49)
4c

Villiain - Checks
Hero - Checks

Hero wins pot with trip K's.

This guy said he thought it was "sketchy" because we both checked the river and that he thought the Villain should have bet. Villain replied that he was used to having his aces cracked which is why he didn't bet. I said I thought Villain had a K and possibly a better kicker, and might be trying to trap me, so I didn't bet (I've had that happen to me before). The Villain is usually a pretty aggro player, and tends to beat me more often than I beat him, so I was being cautious.

Do you guys think this looks "sketchy" or was this person just trying to mess with us? Could we really get in trouble for just playing the hand the way we thought we should? It's not like the pot was that big or anything, and it didn't seem to make any sense to either of us about what he was saying.

Maybe the guy who made the comment was just mad because I had won $22 from him in an earlier hand, when he bluff bet AI his A, J, and I won with A, K - had a pair of K's with A kicker at the time of the AI.

His user name is OMGdrewgrimes. I've don't know who Drew Grimes is, i.e. OMGclayakin, who pretty much everyone in poker knows. Anyone else had any run ins with this person?

Alot of info missing but the hand is played terrible all around, and when checked to in the river im prob overbetting this river for like 9-10 bucks.

I'm not really interested in your opinion or anyone else's about how the hand was played in terms of strategy. I didn't ask for a critique of it and that's not why I posted it. I only described the action for reference, so that I could get feedback on whether or not anyone thought this third player's comment about the two of colluding was at all valid. Please confine your replies to that subject.

Also, I can't see where there's "a lot of info missing"about the action. Please enlighten me as to what's not there.

LOL @ the strat advice ITT. So what if the hand was/wasn't botched.

@PokerAnnie32 I wouldn't worry about it. Losers typically cry fowl when things don't go the way they expect. Winners win and losers piss and moan and blame everything but their own play. At any rate, this ain't colluding. Move up to 2/5 if you want to see evidence of collusion... SSNL regs know who I'm talking about

Anyone else getting an error message when trying to log in?

Haven't been able to log onto their website all day, tried 3 computers and 3 different browsers, they all time out.

I checked isitup.com and it says everything is fine, anybody else having issues?

Was able to log in, but had a small issue accessing cashier that seems to be resolved.

No issues on my end.

No issues here for the past 2 days at least.

Just noticed that notes and tags are finally back.

Nice. Hopefully not a bug.

Played earlier on 1/9. Attempted log-in after update moments ago and informed short- cut no longer existed. Unknown if Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool installed on 1/9 is a factor. Able to log-in to ACR without problem. Slightly computer illiterate me unable to locate Carbon file to uninstall. So will attempt Carbon download and inform of results.

*

OK. So attempted new download. Don't think it took as C/Program file already in place. However, Carbon lobby popped up and I'm now in. What a genius I am. I am, I am. LOL. We'll see what happens when I sign off and attempt next sign-in. Peace out!

Will merge even care that someone is multi accounting?

Have pretty definitive evidence and would like to know if it's worth the time to build a case.

in mtts or cash?

seems unlikely given the long history of german/austrian/italian open collusion and multi-accounting without consequence
