Seeing as Carbon is the face of Merge it would make sense in a way I guess. Figured I'd pass the info along, that's all.

Edit: I'm aware PH does it's own processing separate from the network etc, more or less just passing the info along as I reside in Nj.
im banned on sportsbook, but thanks for this info!

Could you tell if he was saying that NJ and DE players could still sign on to PokerHost or was he saying that those players are grandfathered on their skin?

55 buyins standard. See people, this is why we need 5/10 games, he would have lost 55k (though I doubt anyone on the whole network has that much sitting in their account)

Anyone else have this happen? I was able to reconnect once after I posted this but I ended up logging back off. Now, 3 1/2 hrs later I'm not able to log on. The client switches back and forth between "(Disconnected) - Not Logged In" to "(Connected) - Not Logged In". It repeats this over and over.

I've been having this happen quite a bit since the last update. Usually after I log off after it happens it's good for awhile.

happens 35% of the time I play. lasts anywhere from 3 minutes to 15 minutes. it's great when you're at the final table.

I thought he was hacked at first, but Im not so sure. Whoever was playing had at least some sort of care of what was going on, albeit probably not much. Preflop was just 3 bet calling almost always but when it was post flop if he didnt have some garbage top pair, mid pair, or goofball draw he would fold. Guess it could have been a hacker who was just wanting to play super super aggro

I think their trying to set everything up so people can join in after they get off work. West coasters can late reg and east coasters can start around 6 pm. The
5k is set up towards the late night schedule... i think it's pretty good. If they move anything an hour earlier then the west coast people can't late reg +ev anymore.

I think moving the Night Owls back an hour or even 30 minutes would help them a lot. If they aren't moved back an hour it'd be nice to see the $5K $11RB that started at 12 AM EST brought back. This tournament crushed the guarantee almost every night and is a good filler between the 22:00's and 1:00's. Maybe bring it back as a $3K and put it at 23:30 EST or the original 00:00.

So you think 6pm with 3 hours late reg or w.e is too late for west coasters? seems like that would be optimal. 9pm is still late for east coasters considering the late reg last so long. Midnight turbo madness for the turbos would def get a better turnout network wide imo.

classic eastcoast vs westcoast on start times tho

12 AM/ 9 PM for the turbo's would definitely get a lot more traffic.

last summer i got home pretty buzzed in the mood to get my gambol on. so im potting almost every street playing micro stakes triple draw and it takes about 5 hands for some1 i play with a lot to say in the chat "something's wrong, this isnt him."

after two buy-ins the 2 ppl people playing (who i play with a lot) are having a discussion about how weird it is, and even though im saying it's me they dont believe me. they both decided to quit the game because it didn't seem right, and that is after i lost only $50.

kind of interesting that at stakes 10x higher people just lined up to take his money thinking his account was hacked (and if it was hacked knowing the site would say "account security is your responsibility the money is gone).

$23,000 later he finds out there's no friends at the table.

You can only register by doing tasks during the month of February. Wait till Feb 1st and I'm sure you'll be able to qualify.

VRFour is the opposite of someone I would ever stop playing while he spewed. Why should people who have no real life interactions w/ this guy not line up to take his money? Poker is a predatory game where you make money from other peoples flaws, whatever they may be. If some spewy reg goes overboard 1 night that's his fault.
