I've been getting alot of e-mails recently for America's Card Room....my understanding is it is the new reincarnation of Doyle's Room but under new owners. They are offering 27% rakeback and supposedly even US players can get a Visa Debit card for ATM withdrawals. I never played on Doyle's Room but heard nightmares.....this new version any better?
The company as a whole has been around for a while now. They used to be the card room at betcris and were a part of the ongame network before they pulled out of the US market. I haven't heard any negative things about them of late and am considering depositing there myself to give it a go
I've heard good things about them.
They're supposedly run out of the same office as True Poker, which is also on the same network.
Do limit holdem games of 10-20 or higher ever go there?
I play at ACR everyday they have the fastest cashouts afaik (about 10 days). I have never used the debit card.
The traffic is slowly picking up. They have 24/7 live customer service.
Ive never noticed any decent sized lhe games. Its pretty much all nlhe with an occasional plo game or two.
Druff try to get ACR to give us a freeroll.
I just downloaded the software. 3500 people playing. No limit games running but same guy is sitting at 10/20, 20/40 and 30/60. Software looks decent.
4betuonturn crushes ACR. He would know the answers to any questions I would think
Sadly Druff No, Zero limit poker goes on which sucks for me because for cash games 6max Limit is my niche. Biggest "regular" games that go on are 2/4 PLO and NLHE with an occasional single 5/10 of each going up. I have been a SnG/MTT tournament player for quite some time now but I didn't find it too hard to beat 6max 100NL there but my sample size wasn't that great but the players were pretty piss poor too. They seem to have some sort of elaborate Rewards system for the regulars on there which I wouldn't mind taking advantage of but I am not a cash player and wouldn't want to grind cash via the software either given the choice unless I had a deal with a backer or something. Biggest regular tourneys is ~$10 and you are lucky to see a $5 SnG kickoff once n a while its pretty sad on that front.Quote:

As far as I am concerned, this is the only place to play for USA residents. Deposits are almost instant with WU, and they will pay your fee's if it is $300 or over.
Limit hold'em is basically dead on the site, with maybe an occasional 10/20.
As far as the debit card goes, I recommend it to every user. I received my card in a little over a week. Cashouts from ACR to my card go through in no later than 48 hours. The fee's for the card is $6 a month. Yet your balance will never go in the negative if your balance is at 0. Best thing to do is to take all your money off the card the first chance you get.
The reason I feel this is the best place to play is simple. True poker got shutdown by the DOJ, and they basically gave them the finger. The site never stopped. I know it has been said a million times, and I heard China say it last night. Simply don't keep an amount on a site that you cannot afford to lose.
thanks for your opinions i think i will play here for a while. Now if i could jut become a profitable card player things would be great.....lol
I've been playing at True Poker for about 3 weeks now. I put a small deposit in and grinding and building up a tiny roll. I've got a pretty good rakeback deal through them that's not avail anymore. significantly more than any other US room is offering right now. That said, The network traffic overall is fairly low for cash games in general. A bit more traffic for tourneys, however, I don't play many and not sure what the overlays are for the guaranteed tourneys.
Druff, Limit Holdem games at any stake rarely run on the network though.
well this threads inspired me, gonna give ACR a try here in the next couple weeks im a MTT grinder so ive heard i can get in a decent number of games....
the only thing im worried about are the same problems i have with Merge Network the potential for cheating and lack of proper security features in place to prevent it.
How about sngs and mtts?
from what i have seen security is good... sng and mtt are good as well cash is tough.... BUT i am in no way as good as a third of the players on this sit so take it for what its worth
thanks man, i think im gonna try out ACR as soon as my bankroll is healthy again :DQuote:

I made a deposit with ACR based on what I read here. I think I made a big mistake.
My first tourney, first hand, I'm dealt quad 9s. Guess what, I'm beat by quad aces.
I registered on here to listen to the 7:00 feed and was looking for reputable poker sites. I'm still going with ACR as hiliarious as your unfortunate plot is.Quote:

Am I missing something??? I don't see why anyone would play on the revolution network. Between last night and today... OMG@! There are hardly any good games goin on and then you have to wait forever for enough people to register for a 1 table tourn....man oh man, do I regret ever depositing there.... If the merge network goes down, I'm quitting the game I love cuz as far as I'm concerned the rev. network...really blows!
ACR is not on the Revolution network.
Lol... which network is it on??? I still hate it! lol...
The Winning Poker Network.
Thanks and I think I was on tilt a bit yesterday. Its still true, there arent as many players and the games are not what I'm used to but I looked around a bit and I imagine one could win a nice satellite ticket and possibly win some good cash... I don't care so much for the structure of the scheduled tournaments yet... but I think ill stick around a while and see what happens...
ONE THING YOU MUST BE AWARE OF..... IF YOU GET THE DEBIT CARD FOR WITHDRAWS,,(WHICH I HIGHLY RECOMMEND) YOU CAN NEVER LET THE DEBIT CARDS BALANCE DIP UNDER $10.00.. IMPERATIVE...
they just started a sit n go rake race called sit n crush... the sit n go traffic has picked up...
im shocked at what youre suggesting. none of this goes on in online poker. its a random, flawless deal. you just got unlucky. deposit some more and its bound to turn around, youre a good playerQuote:

Ahh, the old bot - fixed online poker rant. I feel young again. It's like 2003 all over.
ACR - BCP definitely has bots. All sites do. I had to chuckle at the huge stamina statement. They don't usually play the freerolls, wink. Give you a clue. They never adjust the amount at the table between games. You hurt the bot and it will not even up his table stake, for instance.
But I do love sitting down for a short session at the limit tables - and I detest limit! It's always HU. They do not all have the same style. It's kinda fascinating. A real test of my ability to adjust. If you think you are getting lazy - strap on some balls and sit in. It will sharpen your focus. I always play better after a go. I generally know i will get paid off huge early in a session if i am dealt a quality starting hand. Bots feeling me out and paying for data, my guess. Keep session short obv. Hit and run - bots won't post on 2+2, lol.
Lurk the bots play. Game selection is supposed to be job one. But if I'm bored (and have some entertainment $) or want a good tune up, I'm down.
I have been playing online for years. I have heard all the RNG noise. I understand you play long enough, you'll see some shit. But your quads story hit a nerve. I play cash only. I have never seen so many quads in my life as I have in the past year on this site. It simply has my attention. I have been on the receiving end too. My strongest feeling on the matter is that it is a sign that I play too much.
So don't be so down bunkie. It's all good. Play small and enjoy playing.
Edit: imagine your HEM stats as the bot might see them. Fuck with them. Vary your style widely hand to hand. Good times.
Back when PStars was US facing i used to log on to Carbon every once and a while and laugh at the constant "perfect" turn then "perfect" river outcomes, then marveled at all the people who went to play there after they couldnt play at Tilt or Stars. I cant believe anyone would trust any of these sites now, its an absolute jokeQuote:

been playing a year or so, its better than any of the "legit" ones in nj.
does anyone know how old the winning poker network is? I was playing on Americas Card Room... and I was looking at some players profile and it was saying there start date was in 2006 I also seen start dates on other players of 2008... does anybody know what skins they had in those years?
ACR is the old Doyles Room.
