Here are a few of my observations when i used to play cash on ACR (within the last year). Nowadays you need to get about 35,000 points to get the top prize tier. Most of these players are multitabling the majority of their time 100nl - 200nl with a few 50nl tables sprinkled in. I also think there is a style of play that is required to gain all those points resulting in break even play. My HUD has collected 20k+ hands with many of the usual players in the top tier each week and very few of them are what i would consider actual winners from table winnings (or even profitable). Winning the most pots is more important than not losing. To compete for the 2.5k top tier you have to sacrifice win rate for volume, there really is no other way around that. But you don't have to play 16 hours a day if you play all your tables at 100nl+. The players that really crush it (20+ bb/100) that I've observed rarely play more than a few tables and are nowhere near the top of the BEAST leader board. My assumption though is that with the BEAST rewards + rakeback these breakeven players are doing very very well each week. Of course this is all just based on my data set and its possible that these break even players are crushing it on other tables while i am absent. Anyway they should pray that ACR never gets rid of the BEAST-type rewards or reduces rakeback like pokerstars did.

None of the regular tournaments are showing up in my lobby. Is this happening for everyone?

You just described getting to Supernova Elite status on PokerStars.

Yes, if you're a good player there are two or three basic strategies to make a lot of money online:

1. Play a small number of games or tournaments, paying attention just like you would if you were playing live.

2. Play a bunch of tables, making a small profit per table that adds up to a lot of money.

3. If the rewards at the end of the the rainbow are large enough (loyalty points, bonuses, etc.) don't even worry about winning or losing, just play enough volume to get those rewards. When PokerStars had a Supernova Elite Level, you could lose money at the tables and still come out ahead because just making SNE was worth 100K.

lagging for me

Is it down again? or only me

Yeah everyone disconnecting at my cash game table weeeeee!

US online poker scene sucks.

Anyone else's just freeze? On the bubble at two of my sngs sitting with aces and I can't do a thing about it. Yay

down for me too

7:00pm - its about that time again!

I'm sure this has already been answered already but what is the refund policy for sngs?

no clue about if u are in the money but if not they just give you a refund

had a 4 to 1 chip lead in this $80 9max sng. he was still able to play and close the gap before the games got suspended lol

Fighting back ... maybe ACR should hire some black ops cyber types to fight back:

hacking back

Lost a lot of equity. Who am I kidding - I would have donked it off anyway.

back on

yeah... but for how long *sigh*

its just the On Demand Network now?

Does anyone know how to change the password on ACR? I don't see any option in the client. Tyvm

Is this site even solvent anymore? Are you giving us an excuse that it is a DDOS attack when really your guarantees aren't being met, so therefore you cancel tourneys midway? Where is the CEO, and why isn't he making any statements regarding the complete incompetence of the last two weeks this site has shown? It is one thing to be DDOS'd for 2 weeks straight, but when you completely change your schedule without any notice given it really makes you look bad. If you can't reach guarantees, it is simple. Lower them! Also, is there any merit to these people saying some of your affiliates aren't getting paid? If so, there are way too many red flags here for anyone to feel comfortable having any sum of money on your site. GET YOUR **** TOGETHER ACR otherwise you will lose every last customer you have. I truly hope you respond to this ACR rep, and please give a thorough and honest answer to my questions. If I get some half-assed response with no substance I will be taking every last penny of your site forever. Your rake paying customers at least deserve this.

Couldn't get on ACR so I went to Ignition last night.

And the lag/disconnects/timeouts begin.....

Just because they are incompetent doesn't mean they are cancelling tournaments for missing guarantees. If that was the case, this would have been happening every Sunday since January when the Million lost $250K+ every week, not during normal mtts that barely ever miss.

I get the frustration, but there is no reason to post nonsense.

^+1

Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. They have been going strong for over a week. It is very detrimental to the site's ability to function as of late.

I am certain they are pulling their hair out trying to deal with it. It sucks for everyone involved.
