Thanks!

If u dont like 5dimes u will hate lock or carbon even worse, they are part of Merge and that place is just pure garbage at any and all of the skins. Im a winning poker player and played at all the good sites but at Merge im a loser because of beat after beat, and not getting my share. Play with caution and if u do decide to play please come back here and tell me what u think. I have also seen graphs of players much larger than mine of about 200k hands way below there norm.
Its no fun when u try to tell yourself to play more and more which i did, that it will turn around it has to end but it never did. I even saw the graphs of others that pretty much looked the same as mine but they had a more bigger sample, numerous complaints about that place.
Oh i almost forgot the most important thing, if u manage to win at all it takes 2months to get your money from them and a solid 2months.

5dimes is on the truepoker network which is cool only thing is the network is not so big but alot of fish and u get paid fast on any skin on the network. Cake is cool but takes long to get your money as well. Bodog is i good place if u dont use tracking. But i have to say i have played on Tilt, Stars, and these others but i have never hated a place more than Merge. I have never felt so much like i try and try and nothing ever gives, no matter how many small pots or how much i tryed , it almost felt like i was being cheated for some reason. I never complain about sites like that but seriously I don't know how they have the amount of traffic they do there. But its your choice im saving u all the trouble, i put in over 30k hands there running 14/11 on poker tracker and i was put in so many stupid situations and it never stopped.
Im just trying to play where ever until they legalize poker in the states this way i have no problems, its kinda annoying with everything.

carbon and lock smoke any site online right now for usa players

A merge site is just that , a merge site, doesn't really make any difference

I would say if i had to choose 2 merge sites because of good private games and special tourneys

I would choose feltstars and then hero poker, carbon runner up

First off OP is taking beats at 5dimes, do u really think he wants to take beats at a Merge network because that will happen.
Second Merge has cheating going on there and they know it but don't wanna do anything about it, u don't believe me goo on 2+2 forum u can read numerous threads about it.
3rd they take 2 months to pay.
Yes your right they have a good amount of action there like 12k people at night but its reg infested and much more stuff going on there im sure OP would not want to deal with. I figured i just save him the trouble, if he wants to play there go ahead but i will never put another dime in any Merge skin.
Also it has been proven that at the Merge network that u run way -ev there, go check 2+2 u can find many graphs of solid winners complaining about why the hell that is, me 2 as well.

1 to 2 months to get checks from the usa on merge network. You can get money fast if you trade on 2+2 but the vig is like 15 percent....

**ttwarrior1** · 03-23-12, 10:56 PM

already read all the posts at 2 plus 2, not a single post i haven't read

Then your OK with collusion among players? Because Merge is cool with it. Theres so much more about that place. Honestly i wouldn't trust a crooked place like that, funny how a place like this is left for us.
Let me ask u what games do u play there? Have u been able to show a profit in any cash games? Because Merge is the only place ever i have not been able to show a profit.

I found the weirdest damn hands with betonline. For example, I'd see 3-4 four of a kinds/day. Or people with AA going All In would lose to someone with 5/6 almost everytime.

Stopped using betonline. Started using Carbon. Happy so far, but I'm only 2 days into it, and haven't asked for a withdrawal yet.

**Hankwins** · 03-24-12, 11:16 PM

interesting kenel, i have found that sorta outcome on every poker site i've ever played even the big heavy hitters that got shutdown by the scumbag us government! I like bet online becuase i enoy sportsbetting most with poker and blackjack a close second. and i wanna be paid within one week tops.

**SBRMAN23** · 03-24-12, 11:55 PM

Intertops is good u won't have to wait to get paid since its there own skin but on cake I believe or bodog

**vicvegas007** · 03-25-12, 10:17 AM

If you want fast cashouts then Bovada(bodog) is your best bet. I play on Hero and like it, don't notice anymore bad beats than on stars.

**kenel** · 03-25-12, 11:59 AM

Yeah, that's what I'm missing now at Carbon is sports betting. Although I find not having it available keeps me from doing drunken stupid bets to "win back" money I lost on poker (haha).
