No he actually plays quite decent and like 29/22 but will instantly switch to the jesus seat on fish all the time, sit out when they do, leave when they do, and basically anything else that makes it blatantly obvious to the fish that he's there for them and only them.

If you're lucky. I have managed just 1 check this entire year. Currently waiting 3+months for the latest one.

Ahh we are at the phase where the players start turning on each other and clawing and gnashing. This isn't the place to "call out" regs who do things you don't like. If they aren't breaking the rules, deal with it. It's not their fault you aren't getting paid. Trying to get them banned is ridiculous.

It has nothing to do with me waiting on my funds. The guy's I called out are treating rec players like **** and what they are doing goes against the spirit of the game, not to mention the stuff they are doing is def helping to destroy online poker.

Anyone else's Carbon livechat feature no longer available on their site? Probably because so many people are inquiring about withdrawals?

mine is gone.

....this isn't the Merge discussion thread?

It sure is the Merge Gaming NETWORK discussion thread, not the reg bashing thread, not the reg character assassination thread, or the let's try to get this reg banned thread. If you have a serious issue with a certain player, contact support (though nothing you guys have whined about is against the rules).

[QUOTE=goodsaint;47166058]Playing the waiting game of another kind. Waiting for backlog to lessen and timeframes to improve. Then I can and will request a cashout. QUOTE]

Maybe I'll take a shot @ these big boys on the cash tables. See who wants to throw me a little bait. Get me a double up or go slinking to the rail with my tail between my legs. 200 nl 2 steep 4 me. Sat 100 nl, got my 2 buyins @ 10 nl back and hit the road. Tourney time.

Thanks for letting us know what to and what not to discuss in a general discussion thread.

And lol about contacting support about bad etiquette regs. The trolling is real.

yes, true, but the more people who complain the better. What part of seat hopping, sitting out while rec sits out, predatory bum hunting, is bad for merge and online poker in general don't you understand? I do this for a living, but besides that I like poker as do a lot of rec players, do you think guy's pulling these scumbag moves adds to there enjoyment and playing experience? They are playing for enjoyment and competition + the hope of making money, how about we think about there feelings instead of some scumbag who seat hops them.I will continue to out guys itt and will continue to report them to merge gaming and whatever other site where I see guy's pulling this low class garbage.If I could do something besides report them to the site trust me I would, but sadly that's all I can do.

Yeah, bashing them on a forum is so much more productive. What are you hoping will happen exactly? Bear in mind, they are breaking no rules, they are just using tactics that you happen to find "not in the spirit of the game" or whatever. This issue reminds me of the people who go crazy when their opponent constantly goes for it on 4th and 1 in Madden video games. You may not like it, but it's within the rules of the game.

The networks dictate what actions/tactics are or are not possible in their software. If anyone you should be upset with them. They create the playing field and rules, the players simply use the software to their best advantage.

Well by the looks of peoples posts in the cashout thread it seems like a lot of checks were processed today which is positive. Wires/skrill have been going out. Was good to see them clear a lot of the sub 1k checks through cash transfers as well the past few weeks.

My prediction is by mid to late August things will be back to "normal". At least the last time I remember there being a delay (which wasn't as big as the delay now) they caught up by August and speeds were vastly improved

If you don't see the problem with what these guy's are doing im probably wasting my time talking to you about it. Gl

Coin flips anyone?

Good. I'm gonna fish & donk this $2 tourney I'm in with glee now. Have mercy!

But bashing the people bashing them is super productive.


This analogy would make a little more sense if going for it on 4th and 1 might make the Madden opponent embarassed, angry, and less likely to ever play again.

It's obviously against table etiquette and the spirit of the game to do many of these actions to make the fish feel less comfortable but also obvious that this site will never take any action towards it. Ridicule on a public forum is basically the worst thing that can happen to these types of players and if you don't like it, then don't do it and you should be all set.

So who was the guy that shared that we would see checks coming through today....Oh wait...it was me

Again everyone it is not a cash flow problem it is a processor problem.

So far everything Carbon has shared with me has been accurate.

My guess is we are stuck with this terrible scenario for another month or so and then they will add giftcards back and then hopefully the processor is fixed and we go back to 3-5 weeks.

Happy for everyone that got theirs today....FWIW I suspect more will get theirs processed on Wednesday adn receive notification on Thursday!

So, how is this strategy working out for them??

It was copy and paste, got the same last night. also from Cory

Same here. Was told last night my withdrawal would be processed today. It wasn't. Today chat doesnt work.

They've locked their Sunday Major at 100k for a few years now despite the fact that at one point it was averaging over 175k a week. The tournament hasn't missed it's guarantee in years and always exceeds it by a large double digit margin. They don't want to grow their poker business. So you may use this as an example, but it really isn't a valid one.

Kahn

lol when I see someone leave the table and rejoin the table right in the seat in front of me, I usually call them out on it right away "You following me now?"

Have a friend who signed up a month ago and after he won some money he was immediately limited to 1 table. Also he wasn't a bum hunter just another mtt player. Clearly they are worried about people winning money on their site and withdrawing.

Haven't people been saying things will get back to "normal" for 4-5 months. People really need to open their eyes and finally give up this false hope. Or stop listening to these shills like kahn that keep feeding them garbage so he can make a few extra dollars each month.

Amazing how so many people have come to the conclusion that what carbon is doing to their players is acceptable. No other US sites have these "problems" But I'm sure there's 100 reasons why Carbon can't pay out players but every other site can (facepalm)

1. Haven't heard anyone give a concrete time frame on when things are back to normal. I am just making a prediction

2. False Hope??? Payments are going out, a bunch went out today. I have been paid all my winnings since 2009

3. Slow payments suck and your join date says 2008 but you must be living in a bubble or don't play online poker much because every network that currently services US players has gone thru similar problems cashing out U.S. players at some point in time. Pokerstars even had long waits for checks pre black friday at times

lol @ all of this. please just stop posting if you really believe that
