Anyone else sick of the ridiculous boards and bad beats with Merge. Find it quite humorous that they can literally rob or drain my account on ridiculous 2 outer hands,yet they have yet to have a bad beat jackpot winner. You know whats gonna happen....They'll be the next Black Friday victim well before that jackpot hits...I can surely see that happening and them counting on it too.
I play on Lock Poker, which is from the same network as Merge, and I have to say that I don't see that many bad beats in other place. I only play there because I'm playing in a league, after the league ends, Lock Poker never more.
2 outers happen everywhere (live and online) ...its part of the game.
I had pocket aces lose 2 HANDS IN A ROW this morning in the world series tavern poker freeroll. I can't even count on my hands how many times ive gotten aces twice in a row. AND THEY LOST BOTH TIMES. grrrrrrr
play your hands smart knowing this....slow play big hands...just an idea....
slow play you get rivered......push the raise or all in preflop and you get donked.....just too much malarky......I'm quite sure Merge will be done soon enough,before regulation permits it,which is on the horizon. Hopefully sites like Merge and Absolute with corrupt casino's(i.e. blackjack....where there is outright thievery)and ridiculously continuous badbeat boards will all be put in check!!
I don't use a HUD on Merge, so I can't say for certain whether the cards are falling correctly. But sites where something is going on get called out fairly quickly by the poker community. 2+2 called out Absolute and Pitbull Poker, and backed up their claims with data, and history was made. You can't just come in saying your aces got cracked so the site is rigged. Give us some proof please.
ya the bad beats suck, but it just comes with the online poker package i guess...
I've witnessed that same scenario before and was shocked. It seems that when anyone gets pocket aces, very seldom do I see them win. Doesn't seem fair to me but I just recently started playing online. Nothing surprises me anymore with online poker.Quote:

Bad beats happen everywhere, whether its online or in a live game. They happen alot online in smaller buy in games because people play like fools maybe they dont care about their small buy ins.
same beats anywere you play ...................... :(
oooo, i got hit hard yesterday. i think i might be starting to believe the conspiracies! think i will be taking a break for a while.
i dont think its the site as much as the players playing the game very bad
Play the game the same in all sites,merge network always has the worst results. Simple fact.Quote:

Anyone have a tracker and keep a database of how their hands hold up? I'd be curious to see in a decent sample size what your results are for merge. Lots of people complain about the bad beats, as do I. I'd like to see someone's stats if they have them.
USA Players have some shady choices of where to play online poker.
Cake Network is popping out generic site every 10 minutes it seems ,Bodog is leaving USA Market and Merge Network Site Carbon Poker has a .ag domain.
It is getting rid of Carbon Poker.com.

I don't know what to think, but I know I have gotten a lot of ridiculous beats.
carbon is worst site everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Alwaysrain: please tell me what kind of league are on lock poker?? i like leagues!!
i miss FT and stars so bad :(
I don't miss Pokerstars one bit....but Full Tilt I kinda do....
i miss the $4,40 rush
what makes it the worst site ever. Someone that says that statement and vontinues to play on said site, you might have to wonder about. I mean what makes it bad someone went allin with 88 and you donked off your tourney with aq. Thats not a bad beat , its a bad call. How about players saying Im the worst palyer ever , instead of blaming the site. Its so like childish.
carbon has more bullshit beats then the rest but they all r bad
then why play f they are all bad, and what kind of ridicoulos beats are you tlking about. It seems the same as any poker , live or online. So many times they arent bad beats just bad playing. If you limp into a 6 handed pot with aces and get cracked by 56 its not a bad beat .
I have gotten a lot of bad beats in poker period.
Its the reason they are only ones still open to US, Carbon program runs off real players.
where else would you get a bad beat besides the river? I get so sick of these discussions. these poker rooms have a license to print money they are not going to jepordize i with tricky software.
