Merge Update Tonight July 27-28

[lkport]

The Merge network will be updating their software to version 4.6 on July 28th at 2 am server time (3 am et). The Merge network is home to Reefer Poker, Aced Poker, and Poker Nordica, just to name a few.

They are saying the game servers will be down starting at 2 am server time and will only be down for two hours. Their last major update lasted a bit longer than they expected, so we shall have to see if the two hours will be the real down time.

What can you look forward to in version 4.6?

*Players can now type in the bet amount and press enter (previously the player had to click the "Bet" button with the mouse after typing in the amount).

*When new tables are opened, they are cascaded rather than opening in the same physical location as the existing window.

*There is now a new tournament type where the only two possible actions are All In or Fold. (Please note, this is different from our Blitzkrieg and Flipament tournaments, where you go All In immediately regardless of your hand).

*When multi-tabling with the "Bring active game to the front" option turned on, the client will now wait for action on the topmost window before moving the other table to the top.

*Half Pot Limit ring games are now possible.

*Double-up tournaments are now available. These are sit'n'go tournaments where the tournaments completes when it reaches the top half of entrants, and the top half all receive the same payout (which will be equal to two buyins).

*Play money limits have been raised from 1000 every 4 hours to 5000 every hour.

In addition to these changes there will be a number of back end changes to improve performance and assist fraud management.

There you have it. Do not be alarmed if you try to log into a Merge site after 5 am et and they are still down. Their last projection was overly optimistic.

that is a good idea
dunno how many bad moves I have made simply cause the software forced me to make a move on the wrong table. Now I can feel safe again
