There are probably a handful of cash players making that but there is no rakebake or bonus system so I don't think there is much cash traffic over say $5/$10 which is what most regs play

They don't even offer $5-$10 lol. Me thinks maybe you are the one lacking knowledge on the subject.

I already stated that none of the MTT player profit is correct. I would say given re-entry it's probably closer to half of that actual profit. But that leaderboard reiterates my point that the HR is won by regs for a large majority and does nothing to give back to the general player pool. For the cash players there are only 8-10 that are on track to make $50K so again, so I still don't think close to any Merge grinders are carrying $10K+ BR's.

I'm not going to derail the thread though so it's just difference of opinion I guess.

It's all correct, or close to it lol. My cash listing however is not entirely, because it excludes PLO. You're delusional if you think there isn't a ton of people with 10K+ BR's on a site you and everyone else claims is dominated by regs. Don't project what you think is a large sum on everyone else.

I don't think that the whole online bankroll thing really matters that much. After BlackFriday a lot of players don't like leaving a lot of money on the sites and would rather, if need be, just deposit as they go.

Others might only have 1k online but may earn well over 100k/yr at a job and simply wont get too excited to play anything less than a $60+ MTT.

My apologies is if it was incorrectly worded. I do believe however that I answered his question both sufficiently and accurately for all intent and purpose.

Now they are not.

For example: If you played cashed on Aced you may as well have been playing on an entirely different network if you were playing cash on Players Only. Not 1 game crossed over.

Not sure where you're going with this..It's ok to be wrong sometimes, it happens.

The question is where are you going with this?

Im not sure why you are so worried with the way I answered his question when it was in effect the correct answer. I apologized to you for incorrectly using the word some what more do you want? Public lashings?

Again, I apologize. I stand corrected.

Didn't mean to spark a debate, 5thStreetHog answered my question just fine. Thanks for all the information guys.

The correct answer was originally given by 5thStreetHog. That other garbage you quoted is pure nonsense espoused by someone who always does a good job of yelling the loudest, but not much else.

Kahn/Anyone,

Is there a point to signing up with Carbons 200% bonus up to 5k? Is that on top of the VIP 10%? Or do you clear that first and then collect the VIP rakeback?

Thanks

I was kinda thinking the same thing. Sometimes this thread becomes too much of a pissing contest and not enough useful information.

they roll together. the deposit bonus equates to ~6.7% rake back ($10 is released for $150 in rake generated) Only deposit what u will accrue with your bonus, the bonus is forfeited upon a withdrawal. merge is laxxed about this though. This month i had a check process (sick brag), deposited to take advantage of reload bonus and then withdrew a minute after depositing(sick brag), the bonus is still rolling. this is pretty routine, i have had bonuses roll 45 days after i have withdrawn, so im not sure how they regulate that.

Just make sure ur not over-depositing because its hard to clear the bonus.

they give you 90 days, and you clear at $1 per $15 rake generated, and you void the balance of the bonus if you withdraw. So just get enough deposit bonus that you can reasonably clear. And unless they are unbelievably cheap, you should get the VIP on top of that.

NP.

I could have dropped it myself but instead chose to be petty and keep it going for no reason.

Water under the bridge.

Agreed.

There's enough squabbling in these forums. There is no good reason for anyone to go out of their way to pick a fight.
