Was table restricted to 2 tables for a while now. Log in and I'm now table restricted to 1 table.

Keep on merging merge. Wasn't one of the merge reps/shills claiming they no longer table restrict?

They will never tell you a reason no matter how many emails you send asking why. They just do it and refuse to explain why.

I could never quite figure out why. My original assumption was that you were table restricted after winning $X amount of dollars but there are some regs up HUGE over a long period of time that continue to play as many tables as they please.

No matter how shady it looks on Merge's behalf, they won't stop doing what they want to do and customer communication likely won't ever improve (or even exist for that matter).

Remember, this is the same company that literally erased their VIP point bonus program overnight without any forewarning, explanation, or apology.

It doesnt even make sense, it will cripple MTT play. and frankly i wont bother grinding 1 MTT lol! thats, not even a reality. And ya im up over 10k recently and am def a reg...Is this a ploy to force people to cash out or simply quit??? Seems like they're creating their own downfall....

I received their generic response about not disclosing why I'm table restricted.

They're either very stubborn or believe the overall effect of table restricting regs is better for the business, I'm in no position to guess.

Restricted down to 4 tables

Just when there was some good news (bitcoins being offered to some) they ruin it with this. I was regularly 10-16 tabling cash games.

The ironic part is that I get so many tables going sitting at empties and playing HU til they fill. Some days there are 4 full ring tables going from 50-200nl and after my session there are 12+ from me starting so many.

Brutal, at least I'm only down to 4. 1 isn't even worth having money on the site.

Don't give him any attention, that's simply not true. I'm an affiliate and almost all of my players got restricted.

Ok, good to know.

Are there any breakeven - winning regs over a reasonable amount of time on Merge that *didn't* get table restricted yesterday?

I didn't. I'm around a 6bb/100 winner over roughly 200k hands. No affiliate.
