Did Carbon eliminate heads up cash games?

so, what about my Aced balance??

No you have to go to lobby settings and check "show heads up tables".

In before the slim few who seem to have taken over this thread blame people for trying to help. If you actually care to read informative posts and see beyond your tinfoil sunglasses, you'd see this to be true a lot more than you assume.

Or you could just troll. Guess there's that.

Oh, rah rah Merge /filling shill quota

My best guess is he sends in his paid shills.

u hate Merge, i get it. every1 gets it.

what i dont get: u barley post on 2p2 for 3 months, then post a variation of "i hate Merge" 30 times in June. you dont post for 3 months, then 30/30 of your posts are in this Merge thread. and you don't play on Merge.

maybe post in a thread dedicated to the network you do play on? or in one of the other 90 sub-forums on 2p2? they cover a pretty wide range of topics and a lot are very interesting and entertaining.

please stop infecting this thread.

Can we spoon?

What is everyone's problem with Kahn exactly? Seems reasonable and informative. Has anyone ever caught him lying about anything?

I don't think anyone really LIKES merge, but just settles for it because we are playing online poker in an unregulated market. Of course its crap. Any option is crap right now.

Let's please stop acting like Merge is some super villain and Bovada is a white knight riding to the rescue. They dont give a **** about you either. They just have the balls to screw you over to your face and you say thank you.

Has Merge ever NOT paid anyone? Yeah, checks have bounced. They do that sometimes. But everyone has gotten paid, right? Cashout times have gotten objectively better and are getting competitive with Bovada at least.

Table restrictions? Yup, that's BS. Bovada automatically restricts EVERYONE to 4 tables for cash. Yeah, Merge is being sneaky and weird about it but Bovada just says screw everyone.

Merge doesnt even have RB! Damn jerks just yanked away their VIP system! Bovada has no rb, either. Their promos are random and useless.

I'm as upset with the situation as many of you are, but pretending Bovada is some paradise with streets paved with gold is really silly. Let's be realistic because being this combatative about which poker site is better is just counterproductive because we're voting between a turd sandwhich and a douche.

The problem with Merge is that the rules aren't same for everyone.
For example if you have a big affiliate/affiliate that Merge like you won't get ristricted (or you won't get restricted that heavily).

You see I have been playing probably on any shaddy site that there exist.
Even the weirdest rules aren't an issue if they are stated clearly so all of us can make an informative decision.
If that was the case no one would have an issue with them.
People get frustrated when they got banned themselves at the same time seeing equally skilled regs making a ton of money or even worst regs doing it because their aff is better than yours (or you created your account directly which makes you even more screwed).

So thats probably the reason why Khan get all the hate (even saw whim on Skype offering people help with lifting the ban on Merge so would assume that his players aren't hit equaly hard with banhammer as most of us) and I don't intend to suggest that it is something bad because it is not. Just people feel frustrated about the whole shaddinest of the situation

Every US site is shaddy ( BTW I am an EU player but given that I live in Thaialnd playing on Us friendly sites is really time zone friendly for me).
However any other Us friendly site is more transparent than Merge and thats the issue.

I think for the most part people hate merge and like Bovada because of Bovada's relative transparency. No one is pretending Bovada is great.

Yes, I think you nailed it.
I also think that there will be some positive changes in that regard moving forward.

Kahn

*golf clap

One of my, and I think others, problem with Khan is that he tries to repress opinions that are different than his own, which are clearly sometimes influenced by his business interests. I know that until recently he'd send nasty pm's to people for expressing their opinions. He can be really condescending to members here who are in possession of facts that are different from his own. He initiates a lot of the name calling in this thread.

He also often doesn't distinguish between things that are his opinions and are things that he has insider info on. Often the statements that he does make are so vague that they sound like a post from Nostradamus.

And yes he has lied. Several months ago he posted that I and 2 other members were just trolls because, as he asserted, we don't play on Merge. He posted that statement so our opinions would be dismissed by other posters. The fact of the matter is that all 3 of us do play on Merge, and I know that he was certainly aware that I played on Merge from personal messages. I've never written any post where I've even vaguely implied that I didn't play on Merge or that I intended to leave. I've always stated that my criticisms are intended to make Merge a better site by bringing their foibles to light. Just last week he posted that the members, in this thread, who disagreed with him were players who had a grudge against him because he had taken all of our money at the tables. Again, that was simply untrue.

For a number of months he plastered these threads with the notion that the Merge skins and the Jazette skins were separate entities with each having equal autonomy. I argued that this simply wasn't true because CarbonRyan, Calvin Ayre and the fact that our deposits are handled by Jazette all indicated that Jazette was essentially running the entire show.

Jazette is really the problem on the Merge Network. They've had a long history of being a faceless entity that steals from their sports betters for the flimsiest of reasons. It's not that they shouldn't be able cancel promotions on the Merge Network, it's just the way that they've implemented changes amounts to what a lot of us see as outright theft and isn't how most poker sites do business.

I think that Merge is still a viable site but only because Jazette has yet to create enough damage to kill it. The bottom line is that I think that Jazette has absolutely no respect for its customers and hasn't a clue as to how to run a poker site.

Pretty sick I'm restricted and players like MattDaBeast isn't. How is that possible?

How are you guys sending $ through Western Union? Carbon told me to send it to a name in Nicaragua, but Western Union won't let me get the deposit through online. Thanks

go to a physical western union locatin, Walmart, local store should give u the option

are you a winning player? do you have multiple merge accounts? do you use sportsbook or casino? a neg account at my table the other night claimed he was restricted... im +5digs this year and not atm seems almost random who gets restricted among regs... whatever the reason it is shady as f***

I predict its something weird that they aren't telling us. Still shady as hell not to know.

If you donk monies in the casino or sportsbook, you are prob less likely to get restricted.

Just noticed the $1 $25k on July 27th. Is such a thing even possible? Is Merge just counting this as a promo and planning to add ~$23.5k?

Confirmed with Aced 'live chat' support tonight.

Players with accounts on both sites will have their accounts merged into their Carbon account.

Very good players have went on break even stretches of a 100k+ hands, so what does your small 10-20k tops hand sample mean? Probably less than you thought.

I completely agree with the transparency thing. I'm not saying people shouldn't be cautious or upset with the unfair management, but am directing what I said toward an unreasonably combatative minority. There are some people who just kinda rage on and on about Carbon but seem to forget all the flaws with Bovada and tout all the good things about it. I'm just asking for some realism and not a pissing contest where imvho half the people who come in here complaining are more concerned with trying to brag about being so good that they got banned as opposed to simply informing and working toward meaningful solutions.

I understand your points. To be honest I haven't followed this thread or Kahn's history for long so that's why I asked. I think the whole "taking all their money" thing is an exaggeration though because I did read that. And to be completely honest, if someone talks **** on the internet I wouldn't get upset/surprised when someone defends themselves. I see where you're coming from honestly, but I'm also trying to point out that the other side of the aisle is painfully useless and just make things harder for everyone.

Why is it sick?

Is there a way to take off the auto register after you win tickets?
