It's honestly tough to say if it's BS or not. However, I wouldn't be surprised if this was true. The DOJ already indicted 1 or 2 merge skins in the last raid.

That said, it wouldn't be a bad idea to maybe find a non-US escrow for people who have a significant amount of money on there. Assuming the non-US person is trustworthy, it's a better decision than staying put or cashing out through a merge processor. Other than that, just keep on playing.

approval for my check took 4.5 weeks, it arrived at my parents house a few days ago (parents were out of town, but it's confirmed sitting in local fedex)

will let you know if it clears/bounces at bank

I had a period of 5 days in which I lost 6/7 KK aipf and 12/13 AA aipf, along with 2 flopped flushed getting cracked by boats AIOTF, one flopped boat losing to quads, and 8 set over sets. In about 15k hands.

every single reg at nl25 and nl50 is breakeven. I have only seen 2 regs so far who are barely managing to beat the rake.

Been good lately. New deposits certainly helped. Shoulda seen it a month ago, sucked. I was jizzing my pants last night with the games, and I still came out losing a half a BI over about 2K hands. Got AA in 4ways PF to QQ, AK, A10 and lost on a 10J9K board.

just do a search of merge top winners 4 2011 on PTR; u'll see plenty of names u recognize with solid winrates over decent samples. Guys I would expect to be there with ~2-3BBs/100 are there.
It's not been long since PTR has been tracking Merge, so hand counts will be low, but still should be convincing data to u.
unless ur on some weird level

I think there's a huge difference, just as many fish though. Im a marginal winner at 50, got curbstomped at 100. The bad beat tables dobring down your wr 2bb or so I hear. I think alot of it was me not adjusting to the aggression and getting to caught up in it
