any thoughts on this? lock leaving merge and possibly buying some

or all of cake network. switching on june 1 i believe. possibly due to

merge forcing cancellation of lockup(sp) poker series lock wanted to

run for lock only players?

im not a fan of Cake software…but otherwise this could be good. Especially if they make some good changes to the tournament schedule and structures!

But pleaaaaase change the look and feel of the software!

Here's some things I got emailed to me::::

-Revolution Gaming will be the new name of the network.

-Lock is about 40% of Merge's Traffic.

-This move will make Revolution bigger than Merge is currently.

-RB will be offered as 36%, but those with better deals can continue to keep those.

-All payments will be handled by Lock so they will be “very fast”. (Not sure if this is just the Lock skin or the whole network.)

-The Cake software will be used but improvements will be worked on immediately.

Are bigdog or azn allowed to talk about any specifics of the deal or is most of the information on the new network hush hush until June 1st? Anybody have any ideas on what happens to people with accounts on both sites?

I hope they keep a good spread of tournaments or offer more. I have only been playing on Lock. I guess it will be time to use my Carbon Poker account as well. I hope it is a step in the right direction and that we see a series very soon since Lockups was cancelled.

I`m from N.Y.C. and have a account on cake. Will i be able to play on cake once this happens since Lock does not allow players from N.Y.C to play?

Rizzle – I’m not 100% sure but from what I’ve briefly read I think you should be able to play on Revolution.

Yeah, the Cake software isn't the greatest, but haven't we all been grinding Merge and even True, which are at least as bad.

Cake has double rebuys, and the new schedule is way better than it was yesterday.

It'll be fine in the long run. Yes, Lock/Revolution should have had their new software and MTT schedule already rolled out for Day 1 but let's be realistic here …

All they cared about up front was combining customer bases.

They know if they don't act fast we'll all just make Hero or Carbon accounts and leave them in the dust so I think we'll see almost all this stuff ironed out in June.

Lock software sucks ass. Just got done with a 9 player SnG with 10 of 9 remaining. Again, Lock software sucks ass.

Thanks for letting me vent.
