[Merge Gaming Network] Discussion Thread - Page 728 - Online Poker Sites -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Sorta fishy occurence tonight on the 50nl cash tables. R4INMAN and R4NT4NP14N playing together on tables, both from Austria, both have near identical stats in my db. Like, really really similar.

Glad I'm not the only one that noticed. Similar usernames, same location, damn near identical stats. I have two additional usernames from other Merge skins but haven't used either since they dissolved into Carbon. I even contacted Carbon and made them aware of the situation and asked to have my other accounts closed. My guess would be it's the same dude using his Carbon name along with some combination of Sportsbook or past skins like Aced. Contacting support doesn't seem to do anything as those guys are clueless.

I mean I don't know who you are but I probably have played way more hands with him then you have. I remember playing him HU one time and he seemed to go on tilt,not really an indication of a bot. This is just my personal opinion, I personally think he's good and obviously rather not see him on the tables. But don't think he's a bot. And if he is then, man bots are getting really sophisticated.

One thing that I could say that will back up Bot accusations of him is that he is somewhat predictable on his turn play.

Anyone having any problems with the poker client running? I open sportsbook poker client and log in on my desktop computer, and then like 10-30 seconds later it just closes as if someone clicks on the X at the top and the whole client just closes on me. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program but nothing. I checked all my security settings on my computer. I just can't for the life of me figure it out.
Also, it should be noted that I can get it to work on my laptop just fine...
Any help would be aprreciated... Thanks!

So, the Fremiums appear to be missing. No more daily freerolls? Does anyone know if they are coming back to Carbon?

They were just for the month on Jan. The micro OPS was scheduled to start this week, but doesn't appear in the lobby. Message sent via 'Comments and Improvements' asking 'what happened?'.

From what I understood, the Mystery Freerolls were only for Jan. The freemiums are different from those, and have been running for months, those are the ones for getting a point during the month, and also ran during the last series they had. Its carbon so I wouldn't be surprised if they did stop them. Micro OPS starts on the 13th, so should be in the schedule soon.

Edit to say that support just got back to me and said they cancelled the promotion.

I'm a Merge noob. I keep reading that Merge no longer accepts US players, but it looks like they accept new players that use BitCoin. Do I have that correct.

I don't believe it has anything to do with payment processors. They stopped taking any new US players a while ago, but recent evidence seems to indicate they've quietly started allowing them again.

Both customer reps I chatted with said US players can register with any of the skins on their website, but could only use BitCoin

Right, US players can register with any of the skins - before, they couldn't.

Appdata is hidden by default on Windows.

Control Panel -> Appearance and Personalization -> Folder Options -> Show hidden files and folders then click the bubble in that menu

Based on the states listed in the signup form, it seems the same.

No more cash game leaderboard could be impacting player's volume.

Has Merge considered the possibility that limiting regs to 10 tables might actually increase their winrate to a point that defeats the purpose of the limit?

Previously I didn't have the self-control to play less than the 18 table max (a leak I know). I won at a decent clip but I have been absolutely cleaning up this year because of the 10 table limit (in b4 6 week sample size)

LOL Megre. Wish I had limited myself to 10 tables all along
