man thats pretty tempting, winning the bet on the carbon side might be too much pain for me tho

Ok. Shill on.

shills gonna shill

Pointing out the lie about ALL not being paid is not shilling. It's pointing out a lie.

Check pending from 02/23/15. Has anyone had a check processed within last couple days?

Again, I said people not being paid, not all. The majority of players I know are waiting unpaid. I hope to be paid eventually, but that still doesn't make this acceptable. The only thing that really matters in that discussion is if you look back in the history of this thread, you are in it making over the top positive comments in favor of carbon. The day I asked what the point of winning the big ticket if you can't cash it out for over a year and you went on to tell me how enjoyable it would be to have that money paid slowly over a year, pretty much summed up for me that you have a vested interest in making them look good.

Sure seems like you said "with ALL of us not getting paid". Guess I could be misreading it. Then again guess not.

I meant "all of us" as in a group of players.

Trying to find where I said "How enjoyable it would be to have that money paid slowly over a year".

.

seems if you did win that sunday major, it would be a very unsteady check for the next 4 years, hm that doesnt sound as attractive

baahahha +1

And?

And its hard to tell your posts apart from tweets directly from the carbon twitter account.

Well, it's not hard calling you out on your misrepresentations. You post one thing, then claim you meant something else. Then follow with false statements you attribute to me- enjoy having money paid slowly over a year. Nope, it's not hard calling you out.

Good deflection. I'm done discussing this with you. Everyone that comes in this thread knows you have something to do with the site. Looking back several people have called you out on it. Enjoy playing on carbon

You're so smart Joey. You're right. I do have something to do with the site. I've played on it 4 years this month. Damn you're smart. See you at the tables. Oh, by the way. I'm still doing my due diligence on affiliates, WPN, and rakeback. Don't know why, as you think I am an affiliate. But I'm not, so I'm reading the affiliate/rakeback threads to see if I'll need one. Also trying to get a handle on bitcoins. Gotta have my eyes wide open as I enter the next phase of my poker experience. C'est la vie Joey. C'est la vie.

I encourage more people to do this. Book some bets on sure things and offload Carbon's debt to another site, should help with cashouts

I havent really noticed that to be honest, at least not to a very large degree. I logged on yesterday and there was lots of 100NL and 200NL going. It did seem like maybe higher stakes had less traffic than normal though.

Huuh? How does this work. Im confused

Five dimes and Carbon have the same sportsbook? u can transfer sportsbook money to 5 dimes if u win? Is 5 dimes a diff cashier

No, he's talking about hedging bets. Say you've got 1k on Carbon .. find a game with a team with a heavy favorite.. bet the 1k on the underdog on Carbon and bet 1k on 5dimes (or some other sportsbook). You're likely to lose the Carbon bet but win the 5dimes bet.. so you've effectively moved the money off Carbon and on to 5dimes.

Merge's traffic dropped to 3rd place and the WPN CEO made note of that in his twitch stream just before PokerScout stopped tracking Merge. Merge's traffic had been dropping for weeks prior to that.

Different networks completely. Of course as others noted if you win the Carbon bet you've possibly screwed yourself for even more money/longer wait.

Won me some freeroll money yesterday and got to play on the mighty merge

DAMNIT IF THEY CHECKRAISE OTT THEY DONT CARE ABOUT TPTK

Its such a shame cause it is the best software that americans have access to, and so many players on the site (as a lot of those mtts had a lot of people) and HOW CAN MERGE BE SO FAR BEHIND

Just to be clear and upfront with everyone and not be accused as a shill for Merge as some posters proclaim:

1. I do not support any of Merge's recent changes (i.e. Dropping games, MTT's, limits from the site)
2. Understand that the recent wait times are ridiculous.
3. Acknowledge that they potentially could have serious money problems, however admit I have no knowledge so conceivably could be way off base.
4. Admit I only play on Merge due to playing on a Mac and I hate anonymous play so yes, I would like to see this site improve and attract more players so that I can benefit.
5. Think that comparing Merge to Lock is ridiculous at this time. Slow payouts does not equal NO payouts. If it turns out I'm wrong, I'll acknowledge so.
6. I openly warn players and encourage them to do research before depositing. Do I think their money is safe? AT THIS TIME I believe it's as safe as any other U.S. Serving site, however understand there is always going to be uncertainty having money online. Deposit only what you can handle to lose and if you're dependent on poker funds to help with real life expenses, there are plenty of better sites out there for you.

That's it, if this stuff makes me a shill, I'm okay with that. The only thing I have said in "support" of Merge is they aren't Lock.
