Hey guys,

 

So I've been playing almost entirely on Bovada for the past few months and have decided I want to start mult-tabling more tournaments.  Bovada just doesnt seem to have enough running in my buy in range.  I ran up a small bank roll on America's Card Room but recently I've had a few $11 tournaments get cancelled because no one registered. Also, their software seems really crappy.

 

I was wondering if anyone could give me some opinions on the best merge skins and whether the traffic/tournament structures are any better than ACR.  I'll probably start off with Carbon since that seems to be the most popular but wanted to get input from the TPE community first.

I think structure wise, Merge and ACR are pretty comparable.  Where it lacks (from what I hear, as I do not currently play there) is int heir payout times.  apparentnly those are getting longer.

From a consumer point of view, the longer they take to give out funds, the less disposable currency they have. Personally wouldnt go for it. Its all about the risk/reward

Thanks for the warning guys.  From what I can tell from 2+2 Carbon seem to be taking 2-3 weeks to pay out.  I know Bovada usually was 1-2 weeks and I just withdrew from ACR so I'll see how long that takes.  I'm wondering if the pay times are network dependent or skin dependent?  My normal play times are a little off of peak for US players.  I usually do all of my registering between 2-7pm est and I'm just looking for some place that I can find some traffic to add to my bovada games.  Any suggestions would be great, although it looks like I may be going back to ACR.
