Merge is just plain Shitty

Listen I am not going to sit here and say I am a poker maven. Not even close. But one thing I know for sure, when I get AA, AK, KK, AQ and I am on Carbon I should probably just fold because it is a virtual certainty that I am going to lose. No matter how I choose to play it, pre-flop push or through the river the numbers prove my cards do not hold up. According to hold em manager 2, the last 20 times I have been dealt AA i have won 8 times. Today I was sent to the rail when my AKsuited lost to A5suited and then again in the 3 pm when my AQ lost to AJ. And finally for good measure I busted in the 6 pm when my KK lost to A3 when a five hit on the river to give them a Straight.

Tough day on Carbon you say? No. That is everYDAY on Carbon for me.

But then there is....

Juicy and Lock. It is like night and day versus Merge. I have won with AA 22 out of the 26 times I have been dealt it. My AK rarely gets knocked off by AQ or AJ. In other words, I can play poker like I should and have a reasonable expectation of succeeding. Donk moves on Merge are rewarded with river after river suck out. On revolution it is rewarded with a loss of chips. You know like real poker.

not a bit fan of merge even tho i play on it some of the players and the betting style there plus im not a big fan on there algorithm for dishing out the cards either i last played a few hrs ago and i played maybe 3-4 hands outta 45-50 hands i swear lol i cant get nothing worth of playing there and when i do i play it like i would and i still end up loosing to what a flush or a dag gone straight

Merge is good they have Poker Maximus :) which is going to start sunday!

I think if you were to become a White Sox fan, things would get better........

thing is though a 20 hand sample on a site that plays out millions really doesnt mean anything, and i for one take beats on every site not just merge :/ remember its not the site that shitty its the players, if these idiots didnt value Arag and just well rag cards so damn much u would find u wont get beaten as much

Hard to prove such things, sample size has to be hufe I think.

Dude all I have to say is I have played thousands of hands on Merge. Tens of thousands. And you know what??? The site sucks. It has a fucked up client coded with fucked up software run by fucked up crooks. Who else is taking USA money right now?? Not many other business people willing to thumb their noses at the US justice department after Black Friday. But the folks behind Merge have not missed a beat. Never deposited a single dollar there and never will.

So if you never deposited there then you never really lost anything... so why complain??

oh well man, happens to the best of us. just gotta play poker!

yea, the same native american tribe that ran AP runs merge and most gaming type sites. They give no fuck about proper RNGs n such, they just want that money.

see this video from 2:00 on, or watch the whole thing.

this people running AP or "commissioning" it, is same ppl that commission merge

yes screw merge. never will deposit again. horrable customer service at carbon. I mean horable. they are cheap skates and i hope they get put out. Yeah PMaximus is coming up but hey good luck getting anything if u win.

i have played on merge since the beginning when it was poker.com only even before carbon not too many choices now but i agree after black friday i stopped depositting -

Once you have won something it is yours and if you lose it then yes u have lost something. Why complain? cause it gets really fkin old when you know its coming and can say it before it happens. And all sites dont use the same RNG programs. How can someone keep having bad runs for days, weeks and months but never get the same amount of good runs? Thought it all evened out(card wise)? Its a HUGE reason why a rarely play there anymore, too much BS, too many miracles happen consistently.

its all about dat long term variance man, all site have random generators and arent rigged... just long term varianaace :D

Advice about poker is like playing leapfrog with a unicorn.

dont know never played there
