Any promotions geared towards not banning people?

Sorry I'd like to be able to play cash games and more than 2 tables(on my own account) on my favorite US serving poker network. I guess a $25K freeroll should make me forget about that..

just to be clear, in your opinion the ppl running Merge are irredeemable scumbags who have stolen money from players, but you post here b/ you're ready to give them back your business if they increase your table cap?

if Merge is your favorite US poker site then wtf do you post about your 2nd favorite lol?

Just because Merge is ran by scum bags doesn't mean I don't like the software and the games they offer. I never quit giving them my business, I just have to do so in a way I prefer not to now. I don't come here bitching about promotions or points (besides when they steal them) I come here bitching about being banned from cash games and restricted to 2 tables for everything else. Is that not a legitimate reason to be mad?

And I hate Bovada, actually, but they don't **** me over, have the best games, and pay me the fastest.

iPlayPLOhigh: you can't really get on your high horse and call anyone anything when you are multi-accounting on Merge. Even if you don't consider that cheating, which many of us do, you're still breaking the network's TOS. The ends don't justify the means.

But Merge forced people to do that so it's okay......

And also, since Merge decided to ban me and "screw me over" that's even more reason as to why I'm allowed to multi account. It's only fair.

Good thing your opinions pay my bills. Go bitch to Merge about it, not me. It's no different than the people playing 3 different skins.

It'd be awfully interesting if I sat myself HU and played VS myself.

I post everywhere I mainly play HU and PLO. That doesn't mean I don't play anything else. If I were openly cheating I'm pretty sure I wouldn't come to the Merge thread saying I play on a different account considering many people ITT know what my main SN is on Merge.I haven't played a hand on my only account on Merge (all other skins were closed) since May. Get over yourself.

In his defense he can't play 6max as a result as he is limited to 2 tables.

I'm not sure why one of his accounts being limited would prevent him from being seated against himself on a 6 max table. Also there are other types of games. Having 2 seats on a tournament final table would be a huge advantage.

The fact that others know your main account is no defense. If you have one unknown non-legit account, you could certainly have more.

btw, what is your main?

My point was obviously that it is no defense.

And neither is that.

It might come as a surprise but everyone else isn't multi-accounting. StoxPoker had to close its doors when it became known that Nick Grudzien had multiple accounts. Having multiple accounts these days is considered a lot more serious infraction than you seem to realize.

Two wrongs don't make a right. If a store has overcharged me, that doesn't allow me to go back to the store and shoplift.

Yes, Cruz, lots and lots of people who were banned from cash and restricted are playing on new accounts now. A few have cryptically posted ITT about it. I couldn't careless what people on an internet forum think so I openly say I do. I'm not disagreeing with you about it, I'd rather not do it personally, but there isn't much other choice, now is there?

If you don't like it take it up with Merge (1 of the reasons I post about it is so people will do just that). Don't fault players for doing it who have very limited options, fault the network banning people for no reason from a particular game type.

You are using "they're wrong therefore I'm right" logic. What Merge does or doesn't do has absolutely no effect on how much fault should be placed on you for multi-accounting.
Ya, no way I'm in huge skype chats with people playing on Merge or other banned 2+2 posters send me PMs or talk to me on other forums. You're wasting your time posting to me about it because I don't care what your opinion is on it. Go complain to Merge about it if you don't want people to do it.

If they get in trouble for doing it that is their own fault for being dumb, not mine.

How stupid are you dude? FFS....... Hopefully you put this much effort into messaging Merge about the issue. You've tarded up the thread attacking me enough now, carry on. Nothing you say is going to change anything that anyone is going to do or not do.

I was banned from cash games entirely for winning (not even that much compared to some others still playing as many tables as they want).

I can play 2 SNGs or tournaments at a time.

wouldn't Merge security easily catch 2 identical players on different networks in same turny, table?

I ask because of that $25K freeroll next month, and was thinking of qualifying on 2 skins, but then wondered why? (since I should not be able to play twice)

This is a very bad idea. Could lead to network ban and funds confiscation.

We're not necessarily talking about someone playing on 2 different skins. Both accounts might be on Carbon. And we're talking about a second account that has been put in someone else's name in order to hide his identity.

Sportsbetting.ag is offering me 100% bonus on my deposit.

Carbon just gave me $10 in free casino play and $5 in my poker account.

Another Merge skin that I have an old account on just gave me a free bet of $10 AND put $10 in my casino account. Just for being a loyal customer.

This is all in the last two weeks

Yet somehow, they can't refund money to players in Nevada that have less $100 in their account? I love how this shill Kahn just fobs it off on the payment processor like there is nothing anyone can do about it.

It is not a matter of IF, its a matter of when this network goes dark and takes the punters money.

It gets old constantly defending kahn but kahn is far from a shill and answers questions honestly. For regs who actually play on Carbon(none of the ppl who bitch about him are) he is a super dependable and trustworthy person and a great source for information.

What do you mean "love how this shill Kahn just fobs it off"? He's trying to help you out by giving you the site's reasons for doing things. They arent HIS policies and he doesnt work for the site.

I'm glad you think the network will go dark. Take your opinion and your pennies and move along/stop crowding this thread with BS. There are professionals here who try to keep this thread useful.
