I just started playing the "Beast" in August, so I am not familiar with when the standard time frame is for money being credited into my account.

Can anyone with experience from previous months chime in?

Are there any HUDs/HEM/PT softwarez that work on this site?

Here's a new glitch...I had the "auto add on" clicked, and during 1st hand after the break, I got a "not enough money" pop up. I may be running bad the last two days, but I'm def not busto. Even worse, finished 2 out of the money w/o the add on. Anybody else have this happen?

The money you earned from the Beast in the previous month should be in your account within 5 business days from the end of the month

Does anyone have any numbers on approximately how many beast points by stake you get per hand on average?

You’ll have to make a first time deposit in order to get the bonus.

We are currently working on a new tournament schedule (scheduled to launch circa October 1st) and this is being taken into consideration for this creation.
Micro MTTs are definitely needed, but I urge you to take a look at your entire <$10 tournament situation before you make any more changes.

At one point I wrote to you and urged you to add some micro SNGs, and you have done that. However, in my mail I also urged you not to offer more levels, types and variants than your player pool will support. (This eventually became a problem on PokerStars when I played there, even with their huge player pool.)

I signed on to play on ACR about an hour ago. I realize that early afternoon (US eastern time) on Monday usually isn't prime time, but this is a US holday, with most federal employess having the day off. I expected at least a little SNG traffic.

I signed on a little after 1300 and set my filters for any tournament under $10. The first NLHE MTT with a buy-in under $10 was going off at 1600. (There were inexpensive satellites, but nearly all of those have rebuys, often unlmited, so I don't check those any more.)

I looked at all of the NLHE SNGs under $10, and none was more than half full. I choose a $3 9-max SNG that had 4 players registered, and I registered as the 5th player. 10 minutes later, no new SNGs had started play, and there were only 3 of us registered for my SNG.

Your small SNG player pool is divided into way too many pieces: $1, $3 and $5; regular, turbo, and hyper-turbo; 6- and 9-max; Final Table Experience SNGs (which with 6-minute blind levels and a starting M of 32 might as well be called turbos); and 6- and 10-man DONs. During the ten minutes I waited I kept scanning, and nothing filled up.

If you took out some of the options, for example, dropping the $3 level and all the hyperturbos, a few of the 1 or 2 players waiting to play in one of those might have tried something else, and I might have actually been able to play a SNG on a US holiday afternoon.

If you are going to add micro MTTs (and I agree that they are needed), that makes it even more important that you cull the SNG field, and knocking out a level plus the hyperturbos won't be enough. I just checked again, and traffic is increasing a bit, with 9 SNGs currently running, but there are still only 11 players registered for a SNG, and those players are scattered over different types and levels.

If the SNG player pool looks like that on a US holdiay, what's going to happen to micro SNGs if they have to compete wth $1 MTTs?

I know that this sounds drastic, but I believe that you need to consider cutting the SNG offerings way back, maybe just $1 and $5 9-man regular speed SNGs to start (all nine SNGs currently running are 9-max). You need to get people used to going to the SNG lobbly and being able to play a SNG without waiting for 10 minutes or more.

Once that's done, the micros become viable again. Consider this scenario:

Joe has four hours free to play online poker, and at 1242 he enters an ACR $1 MTT scheduled for 1300. After 90 minutes Joe busts out of the MTT, but he still has more than two free hours. He looks at the SNG lobby, finds a $1 SNG, 4 minutes later he's playing, and he cashes. Joe is happy, and he makes a mental note to sign on at the same time tomorrow.

Of course, this could work the other way around. If it's 1242 and Joe wants to play a micro MTT scheduled for 1500, he can play a SNG while he's waiting.

If someone has a better idea I would love to hear it, but IMO radically cutting back the number of SNG offerings is the only way that both micro SNGs and micro MTTs can be viable on ACR, given the current size of the player pool.

I am from the US, and every check I have gotten has been from the same bank, and it's in Canada.

LOL. Dropping N-bombs to berate players. Even if he thought it was in private, how lame is that? Not even about being "PC". Just shows a character flaw imo.

ACR rep,

+1, username is ScottyWhen. I already PM'ed you and sent multiple e-mails to support; nobody can provide a UPS tracking number for my package despite claiming it was sent 12 days ago.

Your site is losing the only edge they had on the competition if I cannot withdraw efficiently.

yeah but usually there is a US intermediary bank so it isn't a 'foreign' check.

This is just the first time this has happened but if it is a trend I will stop cashing out checks

I take it you are talking about 6max and full ring SNG, because it makes no sense to cut down HU SNG ...

I have my filter set for 6 players and above. I have no idea what happens in HUSNG, but it makes sense that they wouldn't be drawing many players from 6- or 9-max.

Ya guys my debit card showed up after two or three weeks. I never got any tracking number, nor did I get any emails. I even emailed them several times with no response. So, just wait and you'll get it in the mail. Hope this helps. I was worried too while waiting lol.
