Anyone else here play at PlayersOnly skin for the Merge Network? If so, have you noticed that the HU SNG turbo's above $114 have been removed for about 1 week now? I sent a few emails to their support but no response from the pitboss. Their website says 2hr response but seems false as I haven't received a reply in 5 days..I was able to chat with live person but they seemed to be part of the sportsbook cause they didn't have any clue and eventually told me the tables have been removed without explanation. Anyone know why they would remove these tables? I like this skin because of the sportsbook and they wire to US players.... but being an HU SNG player, this prevents the ability to move up limits...not to mention i enjoy watching the 1k or 2k ST's. If anyone else knows anything please respond..Thanks
I talked to somebody that confirmed that PlayersOnly removed those games.Couldn't get any reason why, timeframe or any other details, but we'll stay on top of this and find out.
Thanks...much appreciated!
Everything I've heard points to sports/casino players losing too much money at the $114+ heads up sng games as the reason for why they have removed those buyin levels.Another sign that heads up sngs are an extremely profitable form of poker, even despite all that has happened (BF, FTP, etc.).
Do you play on Merge? if so what skin? hmm...if perm, then prob should use carbon or lock. Maybe they don't have a lot of poker players and don't care if they jump and primary revenue stream is the sportsbook and casino...
I'm on Black Chip and Carbon.If the reason really is what I keep hearing (their players losing too much at higher buyin husngs) then it is probably permanent and probably on PlayersOnly and perhaps also Sportsbook skin as well (I believe PO and SB are owned by the same people).
Any Idea if PartyPoker is planning something similar? They are in a similar situation....somehow.
Hi.
I play on PlayersOnly but am going to have to switch cuz of this. I spoke with some people and the only reason I can come up with is the same as Ryan's. BTW, they don't offer wire's anymore. The nice thing is they allow multiple checks per month while I'm pretty sure the other skins don't. If you want to withdraw more than 2500 per month on other skins you gotta do trades or you can set up an offshore account and they may accommodate you but I'm not sure of this. Currently looking into it.
I received a wire from PlayersOnly a few weeks back for 1700 (I posted the dates on other thread...) and I just requested another wire for 4100. Wire option still available for me in the US. Maybe because I've had my account for a while? I do have a carbon and lock account. Since you're on Carbon Ryan u succesful at getting money out? I think I will move there...right now it's not really an issue for me because I play the 57's and 78's.
I traded somebody on Carbon for Black Chip, so I plan to stick there.Wires aside, it seems just about all the Merge skins (PO and SB might be an exception, I think somebody said so on this site before) are just using the Merge processing for their checks, so check timeframes should be about the same for each skin. It's really hard to tell, some of the larger skins or recent growth skins (Carbon/Lock primarily) seem to have some longer waits at times (Carbon earlier this summer, Lock now), but it's just really difficult to tell without a larger sample of users reporting more specific variables (what state they are in is the big missing variable from the posts you see on 2p2).It sounds like regs are going the wire route though when they can, and haven't heard any complaints on the forums or elseware about those.
That's weird. I've had my account for a while too but they just recently took the wire option away from me! Maybe it's because my last wire didn't go through and it took like two months for them to give me my money back.
looks like a record wire for me...took only 7 days...That is strange you lost the wire option... BTW I'm in Cali...Request Date:12/01/2011 (03:14 AM EST)Amount Requested (USD):$4,100.00 Action Taken:12/08/2011 (07:58 AM EST)Amount Sent(USD):$4,100.00Fee:$0.00 Method Used:Wire TransferComments: Tracking No.:NA Transaction Status:Sent
I'm in Cali too. What bank do you have?... That's so fast!I got all these checks pending, it sucks.
I use BofA, took 3 days to post after the "action taken"...money went into account this morning and looks like about 150 in fees...not sure why the fees but who cares at this point. I haven't heard anything on PartyPoker...No luv for US and PP........I do miss the PP days tho!
I am new on Black Chip. Is there anyone who can share his experiences playing? A friend told me that he had a hard time cashing out his money. Any same experience happened?
Love it
I've started to play on BCP and have had a good experience. Cashouts go through the Merge cashier and aren't the fastest, but you'll always get your money. Unlike Bovada/Bodog and FTP, I've never had a bounced check from them either (smaller sample though).
