Is it me or are the most idiotic plays winning every time on the merge network? I lose with 95% all the time and runner runner 4 flush on the board at least 5 times a night. Usually after i flop a set or a straight. Merge was a good network for a few years but recently it has gone in the toilet. Seems more like jokerstars and really tired of playing on this network. Are there any new poker networks that allow US players. Might head back to Full Tilt but never could really make any money there. Have been successful on all networks but FT, anybody got any ideas?

Yeah omaha is the worst over there. Yesterday (Ac,3c,Ah,Kh) was in a tournament raise almost all in idiot called his whole stack with (5c,8c,9h,Qs) before the flop. Flop comes (4c,6c,7c) and of course I push the rest of my chips thinking hey nut flush only to see his straight flush after a large raise before the flop. Getting outrageous the amount of payoff they are giving these donkeys

Changing pokerrooms doesnt change u from losing into winning, if ur a winning player at 1 pokerroom ur a winning player at every pokerroom on the net. In general, the more donks the better, so invest in ur game wud have more impact then change pokerroom. Goodluck.

Variance more bad players means more bad badbeats but also more profit in long term but if u wanna play at new network, you can try cake /Cereus/Everleaf/Yatahay network but traffic might be a problem in them except cereus which has decent no of players.

If you really lost your whole bankroll and it was 600$ you're the donk. I get BB everywhere who cares? ^^ If you're using some tracker just check hands. I am sure you will find much of them bad played.

Honestly, in my oppinion its very stupid to raise in omaha. I always just call untill im 95% sure i won the pot. Then i raise, if im not sure i rather call. But i never raise preflop nomatter what hands i got. But i agree also that there is to many weak players trying their luck in poker. And its ruin every game with all the donks. And you cannot make a profit if you run into 7 donks in 1 table every game. Its becomming a bingo game instead of a poker game. Either theu call you nomatter how strong you play, or you have to call them every hand you want to play becuz they raise it all.. Playing with donks makes the game a bingo game. They dont know the word position and many other things.. And in omaha i would prefer 6 7 8 9 Specially if 2 suited pairs than AAK9 anytime.

This is typical for any network... you win some, you lose some... there will always be idiots, and you can't do anything about it... so might as well get over it and keep playing your A game.

Dont you know omaha is rigged? 100% agree with Doomdy, if you cant "outplay" <<< NOTE....the nits then you are the reson why you are losing, dont blaim outher people/ bad players... You can keep running around trying to find your lucky site or you could review your game and become a better player @lordfum why play PL25 PL50 with a $600 bankroll.

I would love to see you own a table full of donks who cannot fold. I think you are dreaming. You gonna fold everytime becuz they raise 1/3 of your pot? You gonna fold when the donk push all in with lowest pair on flop everytime? You cant outplay those players unless you take a chance and play bingo wit them. You might wanna call with hands you think are better than they have. But you know allready before calling they will push again on the flop, and they cant fold if you try and bluff. Yes you can be the one winning on flop and when he push after flop. But do you risk 1/3 of your buyin to see a flop? With lots of donks, you have like 4-5 shots to hit a hand in for example SNG's. And when 3-4 players call everytime you must be hell of a player if you make a profit on those calling stations

I know you are a good omaha player etna2007, iv been sat at your table a fair few times in the past. If I know they are pushing with bottom pair then hell yes im calling it down...% are in my favor, OK I might have to re-load a couple of times, but ill end up on top in the end. Yer OK it is a little bingo but again play your odds, hand strength and probability is on your side, no one wins them all. Id never try to bluff a calling station, whats the point, im letting them play in to me, give a little take a lot. Do I risk 1/3 of a BI pre...never...im all in or out. I can out-play anyone who is a worse player than me..Luck will run out. Im sat at a donk table I know Im going to see the flop for cheap, If its a table were the flop is 1/3 of a BI, then im leaving the table. SnGs are a diffrent ball but totaly get what you are saying, if I get a dontk table in a SnG then you are going to have a bit of luck. When 3 -4 ppl are calling all the time then I know when I win im winning big, im getting in with the better hand and understand my odds. This is were big swings come in to the game, you need to be able to handle them. But, and this is the main point it is up to you...you cant moan (not aimed at you) that the table is full of lucky donks and you keep playin who is to blaim? Either move on or take the highs with the lows.

@ B1gfoot, i know you are a good player too. And i know you are rigth, can only blame yourself to sit at the wrong table. Actually, if being on a good table and playy decent you can sit for hours without really losing

lol, another angry customer of omaha .
Dude, do not stick your nose into it if you cannot stand the beats or handle the situation. To discuss one hand like its a sample size is pretty stupid! If you cannot stand getting donked out from tourneys and you really think ur good, play cash plo - always a chance to take the money back from a donk if you lose - and if you are good - then you probably will double if not even triple from that donks money!
