I laughed at this too. I was thinking the next step is to have all poker be all-in or fold freerolls, with a push-fold ICM calculator HUD built into the software.

lets all make sure we take advantage of the November 50% reload bonus as well....

yes, more drama is what's needed around here and what better way than with a stupid and ludicrous tournament format to stir up some excitement?

really though. who comes up with these constant -EV silly changes all the time? it's almost like they pull someone in from off the street or get a secretary who is temping for a few weeks and who is completely oblivious about the games and how they should be run to come up with these decisions...carry on.

Though I have to say I prefer pokerstars-style 100% luck auto-all-in tournaments to promotions that force cash game players to spend hours playing a MTT for like $20 in equity.

Haven't played on Merge in months after getting the rest of my $$$ (minus the day I tried spinning up that free $25 casino credit), but just received my email saying I have Bitcoin as an option!!! Nope, not falling for it.

When exactly did you receive this email?

Got offered BC 10\21 and asked to please cancel my check from 7\11 and request a new one threw BC. I made the assumption that would mean that it was going to be processed shortly. Might have received check by now if I didn't cancel it. I'm not stressing over it at this point. Just beware of carbons shenanigans.

Sent from my QMV7A using 2+2 Forums

Just this afternoon.

I've also received the BTC option via email today. I have no money on the site and have not played since I withdrew like 2 months ago.

i really hope this isnt like a bait and switch they are attempting here because im at 3 weeks myself waiting for a BTC withdraw when WPN was taking a few hours

It is mind blowing to me that now they are actually offering bitcoin to more people when they just took it away from most.

Whats even more mind blowing is that we really have no way to know at this point if Bitcoin is quicker than a check withdrawl for those of us that still have it as an option.

Does anyone have the option to deposit with Bitcoin yet?

***Also, it appears the info I received on withdrawls and how sports and casino betting impacts them is not valid given the responses.

Does the frustration and the completely being in the f'ing dark ever end with this site??? It feels like they piss everyone off for like 2-3 months at a time....make a change that makes everyone happy for like a week and than turn around and piss everyone off again.

10/11 bank wire moved to in progress today

Just emailed carbon again why its taking so long for my WD. Went ahead and added Antigua to the recipients. Gonna forward them their reply aswell if I'm not pleased with carbons response. Wish they would just pay me, I think I get their point their trying to make....

Got response that they will process as soon as possible whatever that means.

Are you saying as an option for deposit, withdrawal, or both? (Several people had bitcoin as a withdrawal option, but then merge cancelled/removed it for most of them.)

Most of the people that had btc taken away have wires or were given wires. So a player like myself for instance- they took my btc away and switched it to a wire and re-enabled my wires.

Sometimes it is about balance

had it taken away, was offered only check

That may be the case for many, but there also exists a handful of folks (myself included) who were stripped of BTC and not offered wire as an alternative. Some balance.

Am I the only person left who has never been offered Bitcoin?

Well hopefully you get a check soon if your waiting for a payout. Seems some of the BTC converted to checks went today. Best of luck to you

no

lol balance? what balance is there about people waiting 2-3 months for a check, then being told you can cashout via bitcoin, then 2-3 weeks later telling those same people that bitcoin is no longer an option. Few days after that claiming to different players they can cashout via bitcoin. I guess this is all coming from the guy that 90% of his posts on 2+2 in the past year are in the carbon threads justifying and defending them no matter what the circumstance is.

It's all about balance.

Correct-----> Balance is everything in life

FWIW I have never defended anyone. Just goes to show how misinformed the troll is that you quoted is. I just state my opinions and try and help people in the threads.

While I'm not a fan of those who jump on others far too quickly as "shills" when they don't share their outrage, and I've infracted people for calling you and others out in the cashout thread, some of your recent posts in this thread have been pretty awful.

Balance? What does that even mean here??
