Uber annoying.

I wondered what was going on with that. So if I join the waiting list and then join a table, it's taking me off. That would make sense in hindsight. I think that could be contributing to why table numbers are down.

So you'd think it would be in their best interest to fix it right? Less tables equals less rake.

The waitlist system is actually less crappy than it was before.

I would join a waitlist, get a popup that a seat is open, a minute later have a chance to accept and sit, only to find that someone else had taken the seat.

But that's ok, another popup is behind that, I join, nope, that one is full too.

Bugs seem to be fixed after latest update

I just restarted and it still has a playerbox color in player details but doesn't let me select it.

When I lost all the icons that I had put so much time into, it was pretty apparent to me that I shouldn't bother using their color coding or player notes since those could disappear overnight too. For me whether the color coding returns or not is a completely moot point. I would suggest only using HM/PT for using those types of functions.

The player box color thing seems intentional. I don't have it on carbon or aced, but I do have it on players only. Seems like they turned it off for some brands.

The waitlist change is ok. I don't mind joining the waitlist again when I get seated. It helps me manage how many tables I have open at any given time. And at least it actually works unlike the old one. So many times I'd be at the top of the list and then never get seated.

Can you change the background color of the huds stats individually to tag fish? If so, how do you do it? Not currently sitting in front of my computer.

Edit: for hold em manager
Edit2: not for individual stats I'm talking the box itself
Edit3: wrong section?

Not sure if this was posted before, but here's Carbon's rationale behind anonymous sng registration:

I don't have any issues with the change, but I did find this post to be ridiculous. It's always nice to get some insight on the way Merge thinks though.

Their reasoning more or less makes sense to me... and it's been working out for Bovada. If successful, there could be a benefit to good players, too.

Hope the "yet" wasn't a Freudian slip.

Logically it might sound like it makes sense but I think that the blog makes it apparent how out of touch they are with their own games. First of all, there simply aren't enough 6, 9 and 10 max sitngo tables on the Merge Network for players to bumhunt sitngos. Anonymous HU sitngos actually gives an advantage to bumhunters since fish can no longer avoid them. Some people say that fish aren't aware enough of who they are playing against to avoid them anyway but, truth be known, even a pigeon in a box knows enough to avoid negative reinforcement pretty quickly.

Also sitngos are not the easiest game, by any means, for players to bumhunt. Unless the bumhunter is the last to be seated at each table he plays, he isn't going to know who all of the players are who will be playing that table especially because of the slow updates in the lobby. Furthermore sitngos don't provide the ability to seat select which is crucial for bumhunting.

Is traffic way down on the tourney side? There's exactly two 50NL FR tables going right now. Usually at least 6 if not 8 or more on a Friday night. Where'd everybody go?

Completely agree with everything you said and that's why I found it ridiculous.

MTTs seem about normal.

Glad to see Merge issued a statement about the lobby and I support it. Please do something with the cash lobby like Party Poker.NJ has.

With the mobile app coming a long nicely (becoming 1 of the most popular ways to play across all poker sites) the MTT side of things improved, and Poker Host finally gone (which has a bright side because when Merge kicked them off the MTT schedule it left a lot of people in the cold because they couldn't get funds on other Merge skins and now won't have that worry), things will get better.

Hopefully they make some roll back some other mistakes they've recently made in the form of cash game rake, promotions, and Sportsbook segregation. They've shown to be listening, if only a little, and seem to be trying again.

Does anyone know if I can still use the "MARCHPK" bonus code? I went to check the details but they have the April code up now. As I recall it was 100% using that code good through the end of this month.

there is so little bumhunting in merge SNGs

LOL bumhunting. Like the end game isn't to take another player's money however possible. Poker is a ruthless game to the core. If someone feels like they're being bumhunted, quit depositing or get better at poker and stop relying on the site to protect you. End of story.

Disclaimer: I'm always the first to reg for HU SNGs.

They basically deleted the post about anonymous sngs.

lol wow

While I agree trying to fight bumhunting in the current Merge SNG environment is probably a wasted effort, it should be clear that having weaker players "quit depositing or get better at poker" is NOT what anyone wants.
