I can't tell if you are serious. But....really? You not married or in a relationship?

I am suppose to play in this thing, family makes different plans that don't include me, come home, I didn't play, I didn't go with them. What kid of message does that send them?

I"d say "sir you are more than and idiot" but I don't think you are a sir!

All the time on here, never seen such a stupid reply. Congrats you win the prize!!!!!

Why do a lot of sngs stay in the "Announced" state so long not allowing anyone to register? Doesn't ACR like money?

Hey wtf, I thought the 250K entry ticket was a bonus? I clicked something in my 'rewards details' tab and now 13,500cp is gone from my account. That's like $150 in bonus money. I don't even play mtt's. How do I get my points back?

contacting support might help

Honestly...? That you're a moron (lol, sorry, but I agree with Bob and your wife).

You should have gone with your family and not thought a second about a freeroll (10x if it's going to cause any of the family problems you've alluded to ITT). I've ditched the $1M supernova freeroll on Stars (paid $100K for first) for family before and can't ever recall playing in any of the the monthly supernova $100K freerolls because they always were on Saturdays.

When you ask, "What kind of message does that send them?" it should be painfully obvious that the ACR cancellation is not the problem - that message was always there; the cancellation just made you realize it, is all.

Sorry, but that's 2+2 tough love...

I said moron because that's the term Bob used, so it was a tongue-in-cheek comment (I thought the part in parentheses made that clear - guess not). However, I stand behind everything else I said. Blaming the site for his poor family decision is beyond ridiculous.

Fair enough Mitch, I see that now.

I wish my Sundays weren't so tied up also. Would love to go in one of the bigger buyins for a change.

Thanks for the reply Mitch.

Ok im a little confused. When you sign up through a rakeback affiliate you dont earn combat points or rank points? You just get the set percent back each week?

Correct, you can only pick one or the other but not both at the same time.

What MB was trying to say in a blunt way is the following:

If a small Freeroll is more important to you than your family, you should probably rethink about your priorities.

How do we determine which is better flat 27% rakeback or combat/rank system?

Personally I play like 4 hours a day 3-4 tables 10-25nl rakeback atm. Should I consider switching or am I not playing high enough stakes/volume for it to be worth it?

On a side note I deposited 500 on the site last night and im at 540 now after playing 10-25nl I was up pretty high but I tilted some off when I got a bad beat and then got tired. I think I was playing against almost entirely regs as it was like 12 am to 7 am when I was playing. Still wasnt that hard even playing the same guys on 3 tables. I think tonight during prime time should be pretty juicy in the 25nl 6 max rings.



Btw Im battleSmurf on there say hi to me if you see me!

I'm considering trying ACR out since merge only allows $2500 withdrawals roughly every six weeks...so if I'm making any more than that playing it's pointless unless I trade my $.

three questions:

1) How is the bonus clearing? Can I reasonably clear a full 1k deposit playing 25nl or 50nl? Is there a time limit for the bonus clearing?

2) Can I withdraw cash from the prepaid debit card from any major ATM like BOFA or Wells Fargo? Honestly... if I can do that, this cash out method seems so, so much better than just getting straight checks from merge. I'm currently a member of a credit union which I love, and I don't want to have any problems with them if they start seeing weird checks coming in. I'd rather just deposit straight cash and let them be none the wiser.

3) How is PLO traffic currently at the micros?

Another question: does ACR support HEM2 or pokertracker?

I'll go a little farther and suggest that we should be able to read about this somewhere on the site. I can't find a VIP section on the site, so I looked under "Rewards" and there was nothing there.

I have no clue what a Tourney Buck is, I don't have any TBs, and I have no idea what I have to do to get one. I figured out how many Combat Points I can earn by checking my cashier page before and after a tournament and doing the math, and it came out that I get a CP for every 18 cents in rake.

I'm also unclear on the rakeback vs. CP deal. After all, if we have the choice of either, why was I automatically switched from rakeback to CP?

If this was all laid out somewhere on the site where we could read it, we would know what was going on, and ACR wouldn't have to answer all these questions.

You should be able to clear it since there is no time limit.

PT works fine on WPN (Winning Poker Network)

Not sure about 2) since I am not from the US and can use eWallets.

Well the question is if ACR actually wants this info to be posted openly ...

HEM does not support ACR. From what I'm seen in the ACR forum, they plan to add that support, but it is not near the top of their priority list.

ACR Rep,

Can you look into my account and make sure i'm getting rakeback? I've contacted support but they weren't much help. I'm being tracked at RTR but when I go to rewards it shows I'm getting combat points. I was also able to unlock 2 achievement awards for $10 each but I was told by support they shouldn't be available if I have rakeback.

Not sure what the deal is. Thanks

My sn is zeeep014

No, but I can use the Combat points to buy into certain MTTs/SNGs, etc

I have been playing the 1r Sats to the 250 Seat 250K Satellite. I have won multiple seats. How long does it normally take to be credited with wins after you have won the initial seat?

Bonus clearing has no time limit and goes quick imho. Releases in 1 dollar incriments too which is cool. I played like 2 tables of 25 nl last night for 4 or 5 hours and cleared like 5 bucks already. Deposit as much as u can afford to your first time thats what I did.

Yes the debit card is sick and is used like any other debit card only you cant use it to put money back on the site you can only take it off from atms or banks or whatever or if u want to buy **** at stores it works. Cash outs are like 2.5k per tick I forget how often u can do it but its not got that long of a cool down and get put on your card in like 24 hours. You can have up to 10k on the card at any one time.

Pokertracker works atleast from like 9 different sources. I am about to get it myself today so I cant confirm but im 99% sure. HEM2 doesnt I know that much.

As for traffic in plo all I can say is that right now there are only 2 tables of 10cent/25cent and 1 table of 5/10cent running with no tables less then that showing up.

So I would say its not that great. Games seem way more oriented to 6 max nl holdem with a few sit and goes during reasonable hours. I didnt even see a single sit and go for nl holdem from 5-20 dollar buy ins running from like 1 am to 7 am last night eastern standard time. I sat at a table for a 10 and a 15 regular heads up sng for 2 hours and no one came.

Long story short site is awesome if you want a "safer" american site with probably the best support and cash outs I have ever seen anywhere. It also has some pretty bad players atleast at 25nl 6 max. Traffic is lower though and seems oriented around nl holdem ring games.

They do however offer some nice promotions and incentives to get people to play more tournaments and they reward tourney players pretty nicely the site has grown a bit in the short 2 weeks that I have been tracking it. I think they have commercials running in some states on espn now so I only expect things to get better.

This was discussed during a PokerStars tournament a couple years ago, and everyone at the table started typing things to see what would get censored. I typed "penis" and it was censored, but "vagina" got through.
