[Merge Gaming Network] Discussion Thread - Page 196 - Online Poker Sites -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Basically and only aren't the same, now are they? When you spend 15 hours on Merge on a Sunday it doesn't take much to get to 40 without playing every day. Point being, I don't play a full schedule here because it's the pits. For every good thing they do they do another 10 bad.

I find it hard to understand that in a business where more hands played = more money raked, why on earth would they limit the amount of tables we can play? It's like they're telling us, "Yeah, we've made enough money, we're happy being mediocre, and we hope you all go down with the ship". WTF LOLWUT

I've been on vacation and don't know if I'm maxed out on tables but I'm a winning player and start tables, too, so my guess is that I am. I'm going to look into BCP regardless though as a supplement it in case they continue bad decisions like this. Plus I'm going to up my live play frequency.

Are you on Bovada, Phatty?

Yeah it seems like they just started shutting games down. I also couldn't buy in at any of the tables due to my buy in unable to be processed or something

So everything just went berserk all of a sudden with no explanation eh? Amazing. Time to cashout I suppose.

I was seconds away from binking $45.00 in an $11.00 sng and in the $ in another. damn, I could've used those wins, too, just coming off a downswing...

why on earth do they cancel tournaments prior to a shutdown if they are going to pull crap like this. you should get 1st place money.

i hope so. i had 590k, 2nd place had 230k or so... i better get something. of course now i have to sit here at 1:30am and wait for it to come back so i can see. i've been playing on carbon for over a year but have never encountered this. i don't know if its just done, if the tourney will continue like its been paused for an hour, or what.

I don't remember exactly but it was ITM and earlier in the tournament than you were. They may have just divided the remaining prize pool equally. I remember being pretty pissed because I had a big stack. Of course there was no email sent with an explanation...
