They are changing to the MERGE network soon...if not already. Before that they were on the Cake network. MERGE sucks, especially for tournys and they have very few players AND their bonus terms suck. i wouldnt bother with them.
Get rakeback and try UB or Absolute..

Thanks PPP... Just a couple questions if you don't mind... 1)How are UB/Absolute with withdrawal + deposit for US 2.) How are their tourney's? 3.) How are their cash games? 4.) Who do you prefer out of UB and Absolute? Any help would be appreciated

UB's always been solid with their payouts.....only issue i ever had was last year when the feds cracked down on their processor, i ended up with a couple worthless checks, but they did credit it back to my account plus gave me an extra hundred bucks.....since then i've always cashed out via WU, and it never takes more than a few hours to get the info.....

as far as FT, yeah, there's a lot more players, i just wasted 4 1/2 hours and outlasted 17,000 people and still failed to make the money.....think i prefer the smaller fields

Thanks for your input. Do you ever get hassled over the WU withdrawal or that always runs smoothly with UB?
