    Can Cake survive this?

    What percentage of players on Cake come from DR?

    they were just fine before dr came along. cake is big (somewhat) on their own, i think you wont see a difference. that said, where the hell is dr going to?

    They were just fine because they had Sportsbook players. This will hurt what's left of them big time.

    no thats not true cuz i used to play sportsbook on a different skin at the same time id play cake and cake was OKAY. i mean no stars or tilt but the guarantees werent much different from what they are now.

    maybe your right and this will hurt them but i dont think it will at all.

    every skin has left for the merge network. cake won't be fine (why you do you think lee jones left prior to this announcement?). the network is clearly going to collapse as there's just not a player pool big enough to support it- glad I withdrew my funds a a few weeks ago...

    How are the fields (size and texture) on Merge? I was thinking of playing on Lock Poker. Also wondering if anyone is having depositing issues in the US lately? I'm having issues depositing on Full Tilt and Poker stars the past few months.

    It's on POKERNEWS site (at least it was yesterday). Didn't say what network they'd be moving to but it did say 100% for sure that they were pulling out by the end of the month. Also said something about you not being able to download Doyles right now from their homepage.

    btw.. how many play on Cake from DoylesRoom. fwiw.. I do.... but only the occassional micro donkament.... very rarely.

    remember how the cards would deal out really fast and they were slanted rather than straight up and down? good times. and those super turbo mtts. lol

    i play on doyles. the fields have been shitty since one of the major skins pulled out of the cake network, but i was enjoying the small fields there lately. profit was still definitely there. just no juicy ballin scores

    Doyle's room is a very small part of the real money players on Cake so there won't be any noticeable difference on Cake. This will be Doyle's 3rd network in 4 years and he will most likely be moving again after his new network becomes aware that Doyle's name doesn't attract online players.

    In Punta Cana in November I spoke with the president of DR and he told me they were leaving Cake and likely going to Merge

    I remember playing with you on Tribeca Mike. Nobody cares about anyone else's favorite movie or quote anymore. Everyone was so much nicer back then. And the Avatars where awesome. I was fond of the "MUG" mug.

    Doylesroom now = the shittiest site i've ever seen, and I can't cash my money out.

    do you think that they will be making a lot of improvements to the new site in the near future?
