hey jus wondering? What is the mtt traffic like on ACR right now? And congrats on your finish in the 10k! I play at Bovada right now but am looking to play elsewhere as well and ACR I heard has the best cashout option for U.S. players. Please let me know if you can. Thanks

Currently play on Carbon at the moment, but plan on making the switch to Lock. In your guy's opinion, would I be better of keeping my money on Carbon and continue playing there or make the move to Lock? Appreciate it.

I think we should all play on ACR,spread the word lets get more traffic.Was gonna deposit on Lock but really don't like the idea of waiting two months to get paid,just wish ACR had more traffic/bigger tourneys etc sigh but it seems like a lot of ppl are saying the withdraws are the best so why so little player base

DO NOT PLAY ON LOCK... ppl have not received their money in two months.. checks/wu withdrawals... stick to carbon (ppl have received checks in weeks and have cleared alrdy.. even though u havent received mine sand requested it 11/7) and play on acr... very fast cashouts, merge and acr imo

bovada has checks bouncing... rpm. carbon, and acr imo

I've heard a lot of good things about Winning Poker Network, but I am currently using a MAC and not familiar with Parallels. When are they gonna run a MAC compatible software??

Nah. The ratio of BBJ tables to reg tables is ridiculous.

yea I agree its pretty much all BBJ which kinda sucks,just wish the MTTs were bigger and more choices etc

so u guys think Carbons ok? fast cashouts,good tournaments,good or ok amount of traffic etc?

I think it takes about 3 weeks to cash out and it cost $20. I stopped playing a couple of months ago so this could outdated.

So i know of the site pokerscout.com that tracks the online traffic, but i was wondering where the best games were for SNG and cashing out. I used to play on cake, and wasnt too happy about the month long wait to receive my money

when will ps be open to us

[ ] soon

Month for cake?? Some ppl wait half year. One month is standard right now on many networks. Winning poker network has fastest withdraws but software blows ass.

I'd play on a legit merge skin. Sng traffic there has to Be the best for USA players and best software haaaaands down. Everyone is gonna say this and that, all depends how many tables u play/stakes etc.

I am A fan of merge though, been my home since Black Friday and honestly can't really complain at all.

which skins on merge would you recommend?

So, quick question, is there a specific prepaid card I could use? How is NetSpend, Carbon recommended this to me but I haven't picked one up yet.

I just checked out ACR for the first time. Seems like false advertising, rake rape, and illogical MTT design:
The Bad Beat Jackpot is at $100k. I sat in at a small stakes table and tiny pots got 42-to-50 cent rake taken out. So difficult to make money by playing well there....and difficult to make money off the bad beat: 10% of the $100k goes to the HOUSE, 30% goes to the next BBJ seeding, so the BBJ is really $60K right now (false advertising) to be shared by the 2 guys in the hand and the players at the table. And, I always thought I preferred the casinos where they say the loser can have a nice Full House Beaten by Quads or a Straight Flush, since it is so much more unlikely 2 people get at least quad dueces or better on the same hand...but many casino poker rooms say you gotta have at least Quad dueces. But ACR says you need to have at least Quad 8's. Ouch.
And the MTTs...there seems to be almost no choices of $1-$2-$3-$5-$10 buyins, for which I always thought many players would be available to buy into on any site. Why would they focus on $25 buyins and not sub-$10 ones to increase traffic and build customer loyalty? I just counted a grand total of NINE MTTs all day that have buyins under $10, other than satellites.
It seems they really want to cater to cash game players who will [pay to] chase their tiny chance at a BBJ.

I have a general few questions about these poker rooms. I want to get back into the online poker scene.

1 - I was player that played on mintedpoker and I have a $3,000 bankroll locked on there. Any chance of that happening on these rooms?

2 - Through raketherake.com I see that black chip poker has 27% rake back and lock has a 36%. They both have merchandise stores so if any one has played both of these rooms, could you tell me which one is better?

Edit - Can i use HM2 on any of these sites?

As of right now, i'm leaning towards black chip poker because surfing around these forms I see lock poker is not paying out in a timely manner. This is the same thing that started happening on minted poker. So if any one could give me a heads up of which one they would choose, it would be helpful.

I for one play on both. Question... Are you a ring game grinder or a MTT grinder?

Currently Lock wins for better rake back.

Lock gets more action and have a bigger player pool now that BCP moved away from merge.

Lock has better tournaments than BCP. Bigger GTDs and more runners.

Lock is HEM2 compatible

BCP has better customer service.

BCP has faster payouts.

BCP through the skin is receiving a new major software update which is supposed to be the nuts!

BCP business model seems to be player focused



BCP ha

i generally 6 table 6max tables. I want HM2 to work though

Month is normal now. Some sites can pay through Dwolla now which is way faster.

Ok thanks for your replies.

What are your guys' opinions for 6-max micro stakes cash games? and my second question is, which site has the best cash-out system?

What site has the best sit and go traffic? $20 on down.

Probably Merge.

You should try out skillbet (here's a free $10 challenge https://www.skillbet.com/vs/Headsupstud)

The games there are pretty low limit, I play the mid stake games and never win/lose more than $10 at once. All the games are 6 handed. You play the same card as your opponent against AI players and win/lose the difference.

Anyways because of the unique concept I guess they don't have the payment issues so you can withdraw with Dwolla which only takes a couple of days to transfer money (its like paypal).

Just what I didn't want to read. I play on Merge and the SNG traffic seems dead. Rarely do the $5, 45 man games run and I'm lucky if an 18 man fills during a session. I was wondering if the multi table SNGs run more often on other sites. Guess not.
