Very nice very nice.

Any idea why I can't see a called hand at showdown when playing Omaha? Even in the replayer it won't show it. I don't have the same issue w/ Hold 'em and the replayer shows the hand at the end of replaying. If a player calls and loses to me I can't see what they had

This has happened to me a few times as well. Its a bit buggy, but if you toggle back a few hands in the replayer then go to the hand you want to view it should be there.

Have these merger tournament events been advertised in MI or NJ at all? I haven't seen ****.

Twitter posts / emails sent out and a special tab directly in the software.

Was hoping they'd advertise to the masses on TV/radio and not people who are already likely locked in.

Don't watch much live tv and def don't listen to regular radio anymore. I couldn't say if they have or not.

Thanks. That did the trick.

ive seen a lot of pokerstars poker/ casino ads on youtube lately ( the only place i come across adverts) no mention on mi nj pools joining though

Happy merge day! Maybe it's just me, but the new MTT schedule/guarantees seem underwhelming.

View from a MI resident:

1. First MTT doesn't start until 10am, whereby 1st tournament used to start at 6am.

2. The Big 5 (4pm) got reduced from $500 gtd to $400gtd. Umm, why?

3. The Nightly Stars was 10k gtd for a long time, and recently got reduced to 8k (10k gtd rarely overlayed), and now it's back to 10k. Thanks?

4. $1, $2, and $3 MTT's are gone

5. Time tournaments are gone

There's more examples...

Why are they reducing the amount of games being offered? I was under the impression merge = more games, not less.

While my excitement is diminished, again, Happy merge day!

I know it's only Jan 1st but does anyone know when the W2-Gs get populated? Specifically for the Casino side?

I wouldn't worry about missing tourney's etc. Why ? Well I'm sure their first priority is bigger tourneys and they will have to balance all the guarantees with traffic over the next month. Also, I'm sure people are on vacation so I expect an software update and more alignment this week. I like the $50 Bounty 10K at 7pm but like I said I'm sure things will be in flex for a couple weeks.

Just a thought on the missing tourneys...the merge date isn't until 1/2/23. The tourneys showing today are for 1/1/23 only. Maybe the usual list of tourneys comes back tomorrow?

The merge happened today, at least for cash games. If you have both clients you can see the same games are running in each state.

4.2k users are online at the moment

ha, just came here to post a similar number (about 4400 right now). Did not expect it that high. Impressive!

Ya, me neither. I was expecting it to hover around 2k which it was for awhile, then suddenly it jumped to over 4k when the New Year tourney's started.

Wondering what the breakdown is since MI usually peaked at around 1k.

Wow, that seems like a lot. Where did we used to be before the merge? I rarely saw more than 500 online, but I haven't played during primetime lately.

Quick Q,

Is there any way to check the lobby and railbird games if I'm not in NJ?

Trying to figure out if it's worth my time to drive across the bridge to the great state of New Jersey to play.

Thanks a ton
BS

I imagine the New Year's tournaments are bringing in a lot of traffic. $10 for a 50K GTD and $100 for a 100K GTD. There is also a High Roller. All 3 have passed the GTD and the 100K & High Roller are well past.

Hey PA get up in here.....

$10 I assume only got so many runners because they gave away free tickets
