Supposedly the new bill has some compromise to allow Pokerstars in.. but with some sort of penalty or wait time

Cali looks like they will be much more aggressive @ going after non licensed sites

Bovada seems to be the most likely big 3 site to buck the system and continue to offer poker.

I would guess nothing would happen until the sites went live just like Nevada and NJ. Whenever it does happen (and it's going to at this point) it's going to be a HUGE blow to Merge. Losing a small state like NV isn't a big deal, but CA is huge.

According to the meeting tonight any legislation passed banning Stars will be met will legal action. A temp ban seems pretty likely, though I think short sighted. Stars brings instant credibility.

Bonus page froze on loading here also for a few days. And the new Player Admin page got rid of a lot of things. It mentions happy hour, but not VIP points. So confused.

Hopefully the administration page is a work in progress. There's no mention of a lot of things including VIP points. Might be a good time to use points just in case. We've had too many surprises in the past, so better safe than sorry.

It still makes no sense to me why the PO side has a different filter, different table restrictions, and different note taking abilities than the Carbon/Aced side.

No way it would make more sense to just make everything exactly the same for everyone across every skin.

They are aware of the bug and working to fix it.. Apparently they can see the bonus but it's not displaying properly. I have been contacting them every couple days to see where I'm at and can confirm that my points have been going up and that it just seems to be a glitch

Anyone else having problems getting on cash game wait lists? I don't think I'm restricted (knock on wood) since I can still join tables, but the client's not letting join wait lists.

Is there any way to get on a wait list for a specific table instead of any table at that limit?

Last week I was having a problem where I could join a table that wasn't full but on full tables the waitlist was simply ignoring me. I would sign up on the wait list, but when a seat opened I wasn't seated then I was taken off the wait list. This week I haven't had that problem though, so maybe what you are experiencing is a similar glitch.

Registered for the HU MTT tonight....has 16 player minimum....16 were regged prior to the start time, but they cancelled it anyway. Why have a minimum, if you are not going to honor it? Is it because it had overlay and they don't wanna pay it?

Tables and lobby keeps freezing, have had to close it and reopen ~10 times already today in a short time period. Have tried uninstalling and downloading again as well. Should make for another fun day on merge..
