Haven't played real money on there in over 3 months, just curious how the traffic is, and how many of yall are still liking it over there before I make this deposit. I mainly play 25/50c 6max ring and MTT's...has the traffic/software improved at all in the last 90 days?

You can't see mucked hands on BCP. That's a pretty big negative for me.

Yea, if I was seriously trying to grind and use software/etc...it would probably mean me not playing on the site for this reason. But post black friday, I'm more or less looking to just put in a few casual sessions here and there and maybe bink a tourney or what not, so I think I'll still take my chances. I was more curious as to how the traffic was and if they restructured their MTT's recently as its been awhile. Was looking for some quick responses because I'm a lazy ass, I'm gonna re download the software and look into it for myself lol.

Traffic has really slumped off in the last 60 days if you go by the total players online figure (had been running 6K, now around 3-4K). Also, my own personal observations show the MTT side of the house has been decreasing the last 3 months.

PokerScout is also showing a decline. You can see by their measure WPN has lost almost all the gains made in the previous 6 months.

While the payouts are still flowing beautifully, the network is pissing off players on both sides of the house (MTT and Cash) with no or little software improvement being the major issue. It is hard to tell if the BBJ/Beast rake is also an issue in making players leave the site.

It is getting increasing harder to play online poker in the US. ATM I only recommend two sites/networks to play: 1) Bovada; 2) WPN (waning)

Pretty sad since it seems will be years before any meaningful regulated online poker in the US.

I liked BCP better when they were on Merge. I'm not a fan of their current software and I wish the tourney and sng traffic was better on the WPN network.

Playing of BCP

I'm an avid fan of playing on BCP for one reason, THEY PAY OUT! that's the number one goal I have if I'm playing poker. It's not game software or lack of traffic. Its not like there are only 10 people on the site! If your in the USA Wining Poker Network is the only place to play. PERIOD!

about to try deposit

How credit card friendly is the wpn. I saw warning of international bank charges may apply. Anyone know if it is for every or just some cc's, or would prepaid be better option?
