Not sure if there is an option but please add one to keep the "auto post blinds" checked after sitting back in on cash games. Having some terrible timing out issues in ring games..

Something seriously needs to be done about your software disconnecting.... FFS, I have 8 tables up and 1 disconnects and support tries to say it's my internet. The other 7 tables, lobby, web browser, and 2 other sites wouldn't be working fine.... If your software is going to screw me out of money you can at least refund the money it's costing me. Can an ACR rep explain why you go above and beyond to claim it's not your terrible software? I'm starting to get fed up.

Yeah, I had trouble connecting at 2 of my 6 tables last night. Really random/strange that some tables were affected but not others.

Btw, I assume the BCP login problems are now resolved? Because it's almost midnight here on the East coast and the tables are packed.

If they wouldn't deny it's their terrible software and tell me I can't get refunded for games I watch myself blind out of and rivers I can't call with the nuts I wouldn't be so frustrated.

I've been refunded for it happening 1 time, but it took many shi**y emails and a phone call from a room manager before anything was done about it. I still didn't get the cash back, just tournament bucks. After live chat and the email reps basically called me a moron and said "sorry, it's your internet's fault, not ours"

I really enjoy your site but when it costs me money and no one does anything about it, it becomes unplayable.

Damn, that's harsh. In retrospect I should have taken note of the hands that were affected by the connection, I definitely lost money too because of it. And you're right, it is 100% on their end, what else could explain MOST of my tables working fine? Plus, other people at the same tables were disconnecting; what are the chances that 3-4 people at the same table would have internet problems simultaneously?

That is not encouraging to hear that it's hard to get a refund for something like that, too...

Yeah, it's pretty sad. I got f'd out of a $600 last Saturday and didn't say a word. Assumed it was on my end (things happen), I was only on that table, so I couldn't really say for sure it was their fault. I let it go and chalked it up as a loss. After it happening many times over it is pretty clear it is their fault though.

I understand you can't refund everyone who claims "I got disconnected", but it comes to a point where they need to own up.

Yeah, I mean, they would obviously have to look at it on a case by case basis. But if they checked out a hand where you were disconnected and see that you flopped the nut flush and timed out after facing a huge raise/shove, they should give a refund SOME consideration. Wow, really sorry to hear you got screwed out of such a large amount.

Meh, it is what it is. Hopefully this new software gets here sooner than later. BCP rep seems to think within a month so we shall see. End rant.

Meh? you lost $600. I get disconnected from random tables at least every 500 hands. I've lost at least $100 due to disconects, which never happened on Fulltilt. I have not complained to ACR, because it's only a few dollars at a time, but it is tilting as hell.

One time I bet the nuts, full pot all the way to the river and the guy raised me. I thought sweet then it wouldn't let me reraise or even call. I was playing other tables that were working and streaming music which never skipped a beat.

Meh, oh well, at least we can play right?

PS: my BB/100 are way better than FT so I don't mean to whine too much

Total pot, had the nut boat though. Didn't bother with it because things happen, but for now on I'll be sure to. Just told the story so people are aware it's NOT their fault, it's the sites. It just makes me angry they try to say it's my internet when everything else is working fine, including other tables on their site lol.

Disclaimer: It still could be your internet, but if all the other tables are fine it certainly isn't no matter what they try to say.

I have been playing online as my primary source of income. Most of my withdrawals are p2p.
How do I report taxes. I have probably withdrawn over 10k this year but not all at once. Would I report under other income or maybe 1099?

Wrong thread bro. I'd suggest a thread about taxes.

Which will be more profitable when depositing on ACR, rakeback or VIP program?
I actually want to see if anyone can give me an idea of what the actual equivalent of RakeBack(27%) would the VIP program come out to if I play these set parameters?

100,000 hands/month @NL25

At the moment, I can get right at 100% RB with Lock through Black level VIP but want to switch over to ACR because of cashout problems with Lock.(taking away the WU option). Will still obv split time between both sites when WU becomes available again.

Cant someone help me come to a guesstimate of an actual rakeback% the VIP program would come out to with the set parameters?

Thanks in advance...
It really depends on how much you play on the site, in the course of the year. If you are going to exclusively play on the site for the year at 100k hands at 25nl. You'll probably clear all the bonuses and one milestone. So with point value (provided you buy the cash that are the good deals and not the lower amounts) You could be looking at close to 13k for the VIP program.

Once the multiple of 3.5 hits for your points you keep that status for that year and the next so then it comes out to more than RB but if your gonna jump around site to site rakeback might be better. I'll try give you some better numbers when I have a chance to look.

The best way to do it is to start on RB and then see how many points your earning (with RB you still earn points with not multpliers). Then kinda look at the structure of the VIP program and see what looks more profitable. Based on how much you think you'll play on the site. I've done the math on this a few times so feel free to PM me.

Anybody have a rough idea of how long it takes to get verified for withdrawals and what exactly they are looking for in order to get you verified? I'm hoping to put in a withdrawal next week and just was curious if I should start the verification process now?

Day or two at most typically. Keep in mind however that BCP just moved over to the Winning Poker Network and that support is likely a bit overwhelmed dealing with issues/new customers.

I highly recommend you begin the process now.

Just like any other poker site, they want a photo ID and a bill with your name and registered address on it that was physically mailed to said address within the last 60 days.

I highly suggest you seek professional advice from a qualified CPA and/or tax attorney within the jurisdiction you reside. Ask around, many are unfamiliar with how to deal with professional poker players and will butcher your taxes.

I also highly recommend forming a corporation as a professional poker player.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had problems registering for tournaments sometimes. I opened and played in 2 fine but a third tournament wont let me register or even open the lobby. This is not the first time its happened either. I tried restarting and it still won't let me go to that tournament.

Are there any plans to implement P2P transfers now that Black Chip has come over? Also is it possible for new Black Chip members to transfer to old ACR accounts?

They need to hurry up and get some new tournaments including omaha hi low and bigger omaha tournament gurantees to spice it up. If they dont they wont be maximing their traffic because as of right now merge is messed up and bovada sucks so people are looking at this place as an alternative but the tournament schedule sux.

Thanks clutch, I believe this is what I'm going to do. Will PM you with some further questions though, thanks for the help.

As a rakeback player the store now works but there is no 20% discount on the bonuses and the smallest bonus avalaible for purchase is the $300 bonus. Acr Rep please address this. thanks
