for the most part players play well there BUT the traffic is Terrible.. stud/omaha games are rarely played here even at low limits. sngs seem to take HOURS to get started its crazy. even the low limit sngs that would normally fill up within minutes on other sites take long! for awhile i kept reading about and talking about how they offer a debit card and when you want to withdraw the money goes onto it quickly but now that i actually played here some even that isnt worth it in my opinion because the time you spend trying to find a game here or waiting for an sng to load up you couldv'e been playing at other places so yeah if you like to wait forever for an sng to start or if you only play hold'em then play here at America's Cardroom... other than that i'm staying with merge and bovada.
:rolleyes:

There are some tournaments worth playing on that site. I defnitely wouldn't want it to be my main site to play on for the simple fact that there's little traffic & a limited lobby for MTT's. But if you're hoping to add a few tourneys into the schedule, ACR isn't too bad. They've improved upon the software alot! (you should've seen that site when DoylesRoom first moved there (btw, ACR is the former DoylesRoom site)... it was really, really bad).
I just played on there this weekend myself and plan to play some more on there (not sng's though, that's for sure!).

@Poker Orifice yeah true they do have few good tourney's with not that many entrants so they seem easier but overall i'm not messing with'em anymore.

Definitely not the place for SNGs. ATM it is strictly a cash game and MTT place.

MTTs and Cash games are very good and lots of bad players, plus they are giving away a lot of money in the Beast Promotion, and it is not hard to qualify for a payout, MTT Tickets, etc.

Plus, if you do hit it big, they have a sweet debit card for withdrawal.

They do have quite a bit of cash game players and their promotions are a lot better then most sites for US players.

@cash games there aren't enough stud games going on there for me and yeah the debit card thing is the best thing about them i think. when i'm just in a hold'em mood i may log onto America's Cardroom and play. it may just take awhile to grown on me idk..

If you like Micro heads up SNG's this is a good place to play. The rake for these SNG's is hard to beat . I play the $1.50 + .05... They also have $3.00 + .10.... etc. I just play there a few times a week.

Kinda odd how they have 0 traffic despite being the only place with ANY commercials at all let alone on ESPN during the wsop. Pretty crazy how they have like no players.

When you say zero traffic, you mean at least 3K players minimum everynight right? A $25 10K everynight, and a $215 50K every Sunday.

They have quite a bit of traffic. I dont see where you guys are getting your facts from that they dont have a lot of traffic. I just logged in on a thursday afternoon and they had 2000 players which is not that bad.

hmmm I might have to play some on there. I just hate the software it verymemory intensive and kind of hard to adust. ON mylaptop it just hogs the whole screen. But some of the promos being talked about might spark my interest somewhat

Not sure what you mean?
The tables are re-sizeable on there. Yes the lobbys kinda suck (what's with having two windows... one for tourneys, one for the rest?). But don't you just minimize them anyways?
ACR tables just fit right in on my screen like all the other sites. I don't see any difference. (maybe it's something in your settings?)

@Poker Orifice yeah all those windows are nerve wrecking.

overall if you ONLY play hold'em the cash games there are good. they're tourney's are decent too. sng's take alot longer to start though and the other poker games aren't played there as much. i think its an A for hold'em only!

Had the oppurtunity to rail a CC member tonight on ACR in their Sunday major >> $215 buyin $50K guar. after I got KO'd that is (yes.. I'll throw in a sick beat whine.... ~60bb's I 3bet w AA in MP over a UTG1 raise..
Flop J-9-7
villain checks.. I cbet '800' (into 2,000), & villain SNAP-CheckRaise to 2,100, I call (with ~5/6th pot-sized bet left in stack.... starting stack before hand was ~8,500)... & villain calls.
Turn '2' villain checks... I shove 5,100 into ~6,200
villain times down.... down... down... & calls showing '22' fml!!! (pretty much a normal Sunday < nothing to see here.)

BUT... onwards & upwards. Another member from CC makes their way to the Final Table!!!, but unfortunately goes out with TT < AK for a 9th place finish!
WTG _________ 'gg' Was fun railing you.

And yes as to what DanAbs was saying.... does seem to be a resource hog. (pretty sure I saw the Abs of Steal goin' deep in something on there tonight too!)
