I did one rebuy to see if it really was $10, and it was. I won't be playing it again until it gets fixed. I emailed support, but haven't gotten a response yet.

as long as the $10 from the rebuys went into the prizepool i dont think there will be any refunds or anything.

Yeah but they should fix it. It's misleading to advertise a tourney as a $5r and make no mention anywhere that the addon is 10.

OK, i know this is as stupid as it sounds, but i never really noticed the rake. i usually play MTTs so the rake there is just in my mind as part of the buy-in, and when i play cash its usually micro stakes full ring so the pennies of rake seem insignificant.

but WOW. i just played with a fish at .25 .50. he bought in short so there was only $50 on the table total. after 42 hands a total of $8 was raked off the table. that's 16% of the money on the table, so if u look at it like that its comparable to the MTT buy-in fee.

but the guy lost $20 and i got $12 of it. 40% of his stack raked off the table in 42 hands? that seems crazy.

in general 50nl hu cash and lower is basically a rake trap

Carbon hand history replayer is not working for me on Mac. I couldn't even see one previous hand and the entire window was whited out. Pretty tilting when I'm deep in stuff and can't see when people muck at showdown.

Rake trap for sure. It's really tough to beat the rake until about .50 1 even for really good players.

When this has happens to my mac, sometimes (but not always)
shutdown and restart fixes it. Routinely in the early morning I'd
aways loose the replayer. I think every 24 hours you just need to restart your mac. There must be a odd quirk in the software that occurs around midnight (or so).


BUT you should learn to not need the replayer. You won't have it live!

Merge stopped offering rakeback several months ago. None of the skins are allowed to offer it.

Soon after BlackFriday they stopped offering rakeback. At that point in time they did grandfather players that had rakeback. A year later, when Lock left Merge, they offered rakeback again. But when they ended it again, no one was grandfathered; so no one now has rakeback. Not long after that, during a full moon, Schupick was bitten by a crazed Merge CEO running through the woods.

I don't get why everyone is complaining about SS not working. I think it's really a good thing overall.

I kind of done with Merge overall. Just not enough to grind on a daily basis outside the nightlies which take too long. The late late reg is just odd can't say it gives anyone an advantage or disadvantage just sits with me the wrong way. Right now merge just doesn't have the player experience I'm looking for.
