Hello comrades just wanted to get an experienced opinion on Americas Cardroom, I am considering starting a bankroll over there, just wanted to know a little about it first hand from some of you guys. How is the traffic and skill level of the micro games? Do multi tables fill up? Any success from you guys on that network?

I think ACR kinda sucks for micro-stakes.

I would start with Bovada personally. Reliable cashouts, plenty of traffic, and anonymous thing is kinda nice (because no one can use tracking software).

I don't use HM2 and I have tried bodog in the past with little success, I like to experiment with new sites as it feels fresh for me, any other input on ACR?

Apparently HM2 does now work, but I can not verify that.

WPN (ACR,BCP,True) doesn't have a great game selection, and thus traffic is low.

It, (IMHO) is full of sharks. It does have a very good withdrawal process with what these days has to be classified as fast. However, they have some peculiar P2P rules when it comes to withdrawals.

They also have the straddle option on nearly all ring game tables. With enough players understanding the straddle to make it really confusing to those who don't. Personally, I don't like that option, and there is no way to see who is playing the straddle except to watch betting patterns.

There is also no known way of figuring out how much rake we pay. Most ring games are double raked paying for normal rake, and a rake for the Beast, a long running promotion that builds big tourney's.

Recent software changes made for a pretty good user interface, but again, they haven't done much for game selection. Traffic is slow, so new tables take a long time to fill, and multi table SnG's take forever.

ACR has a decent amount of traffic in the micros and check payouts are taking less than two weeks.

This is all true, but playing against the Beast at micro-stakes suck.

ACR

I have been playing there for some time and have yet to actually consider a cashout because there are so many sukouts and donks. I luv the donks but really hate the sukout bingo players//..lol Sometimes aI feel like I am playing grandma

I play at ACR and BCP, and I have made only one deposit on ACR, and that was when I was losing a lot and it didn't last long. Now I have started a BR on both sites from the freerolls here. I'm doing pretty good. Most of the ring games are 6 max and I like full ring. But the best site I have ever played on is Full Flush. GL at all your tables

I have only played freerolls at ACR except I think at one point had built up a 12 dollar bankroll from freerolls. My experience is that AQ loses every time to Q9 and that they feed you the same pattern of hands over and over - mine are j8 suited K8 suited and 9 10 suited - I see these hands 5 times as much as any premium hands -- I also get dealt 2-4 a lot - this is only from freerolls when I started marking down each time I was dealt these hands. I win more with K8 than KK on that site lol. 48 pct K8 and yet to win an all in pot with KK

Traffic is horrible and MTT are not good unless you like 3 hour late registration.

Jeez lol, posts jumped from August 2013 to October 2014 ^^ My two cents anyways is this. If you're not depositing $50+ or whatever, ACR's freerolls are gonna be pretty slow. They're always $10 unless you do cardschat's $100 for the most part. After that they have on demand guaranteed tournies that I think are pretty cool. I just saw a $15k GT tourny with a buy in of $100 and only 55 people registered although now that I'm looking at it again. There's 78 people registered. I guess having late registration open for 12 levels is really kinda meh. But in my thought process, I see a tourny with a GT and I'm just happy to be in a good game. You're GT something that may be over how much people actually put in, giving you more $ on your $, and otherwise more people join and push the $ over the GT and leave you fighting for more money. Anyways, I'm gonna give ACR another shot, and hope all goes well. See you at the tables!

They still show 32 card poker and Telesina, whatever that is, in the lobbies, with no games spread when you go there.

In the meantime, this Stud guy dies to find good Stud games.

And the chat font is still too small.

The only thing i dont like about ACR is that they have casino online and they seduce me every time to play there :D That was joke but i lose actually a lot of money at the roullete, i played some micro tournaments there and if you want to make bankroll from tourneys it wont be that easy because most of their tournaments are rebuy and it is unlimited rebuy..... cash games are soft, sharks and fishes both i think you can make some good results if you play cash games not tournaments! : )

I was playing in the .1 cent tourny last night. I rebought three times and I never saw so many people get premium hands, myself included in such a short amount of time in my life lol. It was just ridiculous how like every other hand I was getting poc 10's or poc jj's and I'd go all in and be up against KK or AK. (this is at ACR btw) Anyway, I had planned to only play for one buy in but, even after the late reg finally ended there was still $52 of dead money in a $100GT. So I kinda felt like I was getting paid just to play. Just wish I started earlier and didn't jump in at like level 10.

I think they have awesome GT's there, which makes me think money can deff be made for those skilled and dedicated enough to take it. Just my thoughts though.

The main reason I signed up at ACR was to play with our American friends, since it had been a long time from Black Friday, but since then I have really enjoyed the site. Thumbs up for ACR :)

It does and I really like ACR I wouldn't deposit more than a couple hundred though and keep more than a few thousand in your BR, I feel as if these little poker sites are gonna scam all US Players for there money as soon as (if they do) pokestars or FTP come back.

I just received a check from America's Cardroom for $2,995 but am having trouble finding anyone to cash it. Does anyone have any idea where I could go? I have another one on its way and am having a problem. I have tried my bank (they wont even deposit it), Walmart money center and a couple of check cashing places. It comes from a Canadian bank in US dollars and I am in the USA.

This is one of the same exact problems I had with Bovada. It took me 19 months to finally get my funds with blowvada finally agreeing to send me a Western Union. I would try to get support to cancel and send you the debit card.
