Alternate solution for online players after "Black Friday"

www.ltuflawless.blogspot.com

If you haven't been living under a rock the past couple of days, you would already know about US Gov's crackdown on biggest online poker websites - Full Tilt, Poker Stars and Absolute Poker.

In poker world it's being called "Black Friday"

Even though these websites released public announcements that US players shouldn't be worried and that ther money is safe, there are a lot of players looking skeptical and wanting to get their money out ASAP.

It seems that there will be quite some time until everyone will be able freely withdraw their money and everyone has started looking where they could be playing poker while the dust settles between Largest poker sites and US government.

From my personal experience I would suggest to join merge network. I personally have been playing there for several years and so far never had any problem with them.
Top notch graphix, good promotions. Network is especially good for mid-stake players.
Merge Network has severel seperate clients. As a player I have tried pretty much all of the sites on Merge and I have two of my favorite skins.

1. PDC Poker
I am playing on PDC myself. Even though I tried the other skins, nothing compared to this one. All merge skins have seperate promotions. PDC's usually are the best.

Also, if you deposit on PDC using code RBPDC, you will get market highest 35% Rakeback. Rakeback is being deposited to your account everyday at 00.00 am PDC time

2. Carbonpoker
Carbopoker is sister site of PDC. Recently they absolutely revamped their website and it seems they are kicking it into high gear. Carbonpoker is being promoted way more than PDC. Even though they both are being run by the same company and all promotions are the same, it just seems that Carbon is the favorite over little sister PDC by its bosses.

They are both pretty much the same. Biggest difference- Client Colors- PDC is red, Carbon is blue, websites themselves are different and that Carbon is being more promoted than PDC.

Since they are being run by the same company, all reload/ first deposit codes are the same. So, if you decide to go Carbon route, you can easily use RBPDC code for your 35% rakeback.

There are few other ones but after checking them out, I always was coming back to my main one- PDC.

what makes you think that sites of the merge network won't eventually be closed to US players? There is no reason for the DOJ to only be going after the big 3 and not the other ones. It's all illegal gambling to them.
what are your thoughts on this?

obviously we dont know what they are going to do next.
Nobody can tell. But for time being if people still want to play online poker, there are still some legit nice sites to play on.

What do you think about the growning traffic at Merge? 10,000 ppl on at merge right now that pretty much unheard of. Its still growing. I expect there to be 20k+ ppl there by the end of the week. What are your thoughts. Is this going to help or hurt us grinders at Merge?

It's both.

Good to have growing site with new players. Gtd tourneys will increase. But at the same time a lot of good players will join our tables. Definitely wont be easier.

We will see pretty soon how merge will take advantage of all this. Unless they will get scared, its really great ooportunity to grow dramatically.

Time will tell. Hopefully gov is not eyeing the smaller sites yet...
