ACR is very suspect.

Tilted towards the European and S. American players. I'm always ahead heads up and I always get out drawn on the turn or river. I've come to expect being bounced out in the first 5 minutes of any tournament no matter what I do.

Perhaps you should find yourself tournaments that last no more than 5 minutes, such as spin and go. Alternatively, play cash games but only for 5 minutes. You could, for example, play cash games for 5 minutes and have a break for 55 minutes. I think this is an option that can be considered :)

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you can sit out for 5 minutes.

But seriously I don't do very well on ACR either, for whatever reason, probably just a bad streak of luck that I can't be bothered to weather by playing thousands of games there.

The site is actually not that soft. For me the main reason to play there is the SnG leaderboard, which consistently pay me $50 every week, and lower rake compared to some of the games on pokerstars.

I think the only way possible to wind up "always bounced in the first 5 minutes of any tournament" is if you put yourself in that

position... in the first 5 minutes of any tournament, but just out of curiosity is there any theory of why Acr

would prefer if European or S. American players won the hand😎....

This happens in all rooms, sometimes you don't have a good day or you're on a bad streak, that's poker, you have to be patient.

This happens in all rooms, but what I think it's weird on ACR is that nowadays they only accept deposit and cashouts through bitcoin or other crypto wallets. Usually in all other rooms we have a lot of options to deposit and cashout.

They accept deposits and withdrawals with Luxon Pay, which is a e-vallet similar to paypal, and has nothing to do with crypto currency. They also accept deposits with credit cards, but last time I tried, it did not work, so I used Luxon Pay instead. There could be country specific differences though, and maybe Luxon Pay is not available everywhere.

Unless you play hyper turbo formats, where you start with 25BB or less, or late reg with a similar short stack, there is no way, you should bust in the first 5 minutes of a tournament, unless you run into some sort of cooler like AA vs. KK, set over set or flush over flush. So if this happens frequently to OP, then he really need to look at his game and learn, which hands to stack off or not stack off with 60-100BB stacks. Maybe play some cash games to learn the fundamentals of deeper stacked play.
