one thing not mentioned but certainly important is that the rake is killing on everleaf network, they have a 5% cap up to €5,- on euro tables and $3 cap on dollar tables. Most of the games that run though are € tables.... the 40% rakeback only makes up for a small part of this rake. games are soft though

HEM works on the merge network. I would assume that PT3 does as well.

Sorry about that. I don't play tournaments, I know next to nothing about the tourney scene especially on these small sites, and wanted to keep the video under an hour. I figured that basically nothing very big runs since I hear almost zero tourney buzz on Cake or Merge. Please feel free to postl the big tournies for these sites that you know of

does carbon support hem/pt3?

HEM definitely works well

not a problem im thinking of doing bodog and ill post what the daily gaurnt's are on there when i do

at minted poker(everleaf) only small tournaments run but they're incredibly easy to beat so for any MTT grinder trying to build a roll it's really worth it to addsome of these small stakes tournaments to their schedule. Most value are the $5 and $10 rebuys... HEM doesn't work on tournaments (if somebody knows how to fix this let me know).

micro stakes are unbeatable due to the high rake so it's better to pick an other site for cash games...

Cashouts for UB/AP (even the 250-1k ones) are only for non-US customers. As of now, no americans can cash out.
Non-US Full Tilt players have been able to cash out, albeit slower and Moneybookers has just been added back.

So FTP > Cereus, FWIW.

Thanks for clearing that up Bellatrix - do you know what Cereus' timetable or latest announcement on cashouts to US players is?

Nope, really all in turmoil there. They have supposedly entered an agreement with the DOJ a few days ago (the one Tilt and Stars entered just a few days after Black Friday). However, they found themselves immediately in violation of it, since they were still allowing real money play from americans on their site. Furthermore, they are challenging the DOJ on the indictments, citing Antigua WTO regulation stuff (I'm not a lawyer).
It has become pretty clear, they don't have the money. The got hit pretty hard. After all, 3 billion was seized, 1.5 billion for stars, 1 billion for FTP and .5 billion for Cereus. Well, Cereus was way smaller than a third the size of Stars and half the size of FTP, so they were hit disproportionally. Then there is a lot of speculation about the actual money, where it is located (Cereus seems to be valuated at ~300 million before Black Friday). They are definitely leaving Costa Rica. Whether it is to leave to Panama to build a better leaner UB/AP or take the money and run is up for grabs.
So, the company is falling apart, naturally the cashouts for US players is like very very far away if at all. Cereus money is valued at around 12-20 cents on the $, while FTP is around 75-95 (for americans).
