Hmm, TP tables anyone?

[BlibbityBlabbity]

So, I got $12 in my account yesterday and played in a freerooll there and I was going to send thenm some feedback, but I don't even know where to start.

Their whole MTT system is all messed up:

1) no chip racing and split pots actually being "split" to give out fractions of the minimum chip.
2) Then the betting slider bet box will not let you bet theose odd amounts, so you bet as much as you have and are left with .15 or something.
3) THEN, if the blinds hit you with less than the blind in your stack you are out instead of being all in in for what you have.
4) The blinds are like a super turbo.
5) SLOW, slow and slow!

I went out in 4th (3 pay) with 1100 left in my stack when the blinds went up to 600/1200 (after less than an hour) and I didn't quite have the 1200 BB. The big stack was 6500 or so.

Gosh..... that sounds..... um......

Yup, pretty much exactly like I expected.

Seriously though - that is BAD. I wonder why these new small sites try to program everything themselves (I assume that is what they are doing), instead of buying decent functioning software from someone else...

[BlibbityBlabbity]

it gets worse, apparently there are no tie hands. Straight flush on board and QJ beat Q4 (neither playing in the SF). SF, with QJ kickers, lol

[Talking Poker]

That's awesomer.

I wonder if "3 pair" can win when that player is actually playing the board. For example:

Board: 9944K
Me: AQ
You: 33

I wonder who would win?

[BlibbityBlabbity]

Better:

Board: 99449
Me: AQ
You: 33

Does the dual FH win or the AK kickers? Based on what I have seen so far I would gues AK takes it with the high cards....lol

This is a SICK SICK site. They also have you post dead blinds in an MTT if you are moved to a new table in MP...

I understand that this is beta freeroll time, but this stuff should have been pre-beta, IMO

[Zelgadiss]

That explain what happened with me in one freeroll.

The blinds are fine, 10 minutes, i guess. But is too slow, then, look like a super turbo because you are playing less.

And i got 9.75 for beta testing.

And the "new" rules are strange. You can win with a "sidekicker".

[Tony Cheval]

Yeah, I got a whole $4.50 from the beta. And the freeroll I was in crashed and was cancelled.

Also in MTTs at least, there are no autoplay options. Yeah I know you shouldn't make a habit of using them, but it's nice to at least have it when you get 72o and want to grab a drink while they're playing the hand out (though I suppose the fact that no one else has them either means the hand should be slow enough anyway).

[BrianSwa]

ended with about $176 from beta, requested a withdraw we shall see but im not counting on it.

[hiimbob12]

Wowow, i only got like 3.75 or something lol.

[Tony Cheval]

Hey thanks for letting us know you were playing.

[BrianSwa]

didnt know I ever denied it?

[Nikita]

So did you actually send them a copy of your photo ID? It seemed like a hassle and something I've never had to do for any other site. And I didn't see any other way to get the money out of there.

[Tony Cheval]

Eh, all I know is I only got one other person to join up when I set up the private table, that got kinda boring.

[BlibbityBlabbity]

Well as soon as they get the bugs worked out it would be ok to have a private table there. But with the wrong hands winning at showdown there isn't much point to putting any real money (assuming it really is yours) on the table yet.

[BrianSwa]

not yet I'm waiting on there email asking me for it. If they ask I will send it to them, I wouldn't for a couple dollars but for $176 I will. Like I said I'm not holding my breath here.
