Just wondering. Do you still have accounts on other Merge skins (Sportsbook, Lock, Black Chip, etc.)?

Ya, i have an account on Sportsbook, but i refuse to play on there because i lose everytime i deposit, which is why i switched to Carbon in the first place. And now they lock my account because i won....

You've never had a second account on any Merge skin? Never created a second account for another deposit bonus or anything?

Nope, ive never made a 2nd real money account. I have no reason too.

By the way, if you read the email he sent me, the reason they locked my account is because of fear of cheating, because i deposited $20 dollars at about 11:30 p.m. eastern, and about 6 hours later at 5:30 a.m. I had over $1,400.

I mean dont get me wrong, im happy that ill be getting my funds, but i dont want to withdraw. I finally built up a nice roll, and now there making me withdraw it. I mean, ive deposited so much money in the past few weeks on Sportsbook, and i just kept losing, so then i decided to switch to carbon, which is why i deposited the 20 dollars.

You obviously didnt read the entire thread....I found out that the issue wasn't me asking them to change my gender, it was the fact that i deposited 20.00 dollars, and turned it into a little over 1,400 in about 5 hours.

Apparently they labeled it as "suspicious activity" and are going to give me my money and not let me play on the site anymore.

That's not exactly what they said, they didn't suspend your account because you run good, they said that they "reserve the right to close any account if evidence of play contrary to accepted standards of fair dealing, is found or suspected.".

Just doesn't seem like we're getting the whole story. Are you sure you weren't playing at a table with someone you knew? No softplaying or anything like that? Can you post the hand histories of the big hands you won?

I swear on my mothers life, that i did not know ANYONE, that i played against that night. Honestly, i dont know what softplaying is, so i cant answer that.


I deposited 20. I then did the 20 doller SNG super turbo 6 handed tourney. I won first which got me 84 bucks.

I sat down at the cash game table with 77 dollars. I got from 77 to about 200-250 with medium sized pots. By that i mean, i just won alot of 20-30 dollar pots.

My BIGGEST hands were these -

After playing 1/2 for a while, i left the table with a little over 300, i went to a 2/4 table and bought in for 300. About 25 minutes in i got AA. Someone raised to 8 preflop, i reraised to 16. He called. flop - K,10,2. he bets about 23 or so. I push, he calls. he has K,6. I ended up winning the hand. So now i have 600. About an hour or so later, i get 5,8 of diamonds. someone raises preflop, and i call. flop - Qc,6d,7h. Im open ended, and he bets half the pot i think it was, so i call. Turn - 2d. So now with my straight draw, i have a flush draw. he pushes, and after a while of thinking, i call. river - 9. So i catch my straight and i win. by that time, it was like 5 in the morning so i was beat, and i closed the software, and went to sleep. I woke up the next morning around 10 a.m. and i sit down at a 1/2 heads up cash game...i buy in for 150..about 15 minutes in, im down to 130.00 and i get AK. he raises, so i push. he calls with AQ, and i end up winning...about 10 minutes after that, the table just closes and the software shuts down, and i get the "your account has been suspended".

Thats why im kinda shocked they locked me. They could easily review the hands that i won, and i just dont understand how they could think that i cheated or did anything resembling cheating.

Its not like i deposited 20, joined a heads up cash game, and just kept doubling up through the same person. It was nothing like that. so i dont get it.

As I read that last email, I thought it looked mostly like a form letter. They may not actually lock you out.

What we have seen is that one department doesn't co-ordinate with other departments. Your play might still be under review, and they might not lock you out after sending your money.

Have a little more patience. TBH all of us are a little surprised this moved along as fast as it appears to be moving along.

Typical resolution has been over a week.

Just looking at your hands on PTR (http://www.pokertableratings.com). Looks to me like you just ran really well. My honest guess is that assuming Carbon pays you they did you a HUGE favor closing your account. You would have probably dropped every dime of those winnings by now had your account remained open imo.

LOL thanks, i think? Ya, i ran well, but most of the time, i had the best hand, and i SHOULD have won. Other than the 5,8 vs. AA...but i mean hey, Aces get cracked all the time. Usually im the one that has them cracked lol

I know right dude!!!! Its crazy, usually you hear stories where the site wont let people withdraw, and keep their money. WIth me its the opposite lol, they want to give me my money, but i want to keep it on there so i can play since i have a decent bank roll lol

1,400 in 5 hours.... hmmmm of course they suspended your account. do you know how many all ins you had to win or your rate of investment over 5 hours would have to be inorder to do that? if this where a tournment it would be fine but live cash games... yeah crazy man!

Exactly! I mean in the 1/2 game i kept going up and down from like 150 to 300. but once i went to 2/4, going to 600 was easy...AA, flop K,10,2 he bets, i push...i win. but going from 600 to 1200 was scary as hell..straight draw and flush draw on turn..i mean i guess by the odds i shouldnt of called, but i just felt like i would hit.
