maybe now a min cash wont be a half-buyin profit

yeah weed is sweet and all #lovepot but this post is ****ing ******ed, your software is terrible, it's obviously a big joke that you still don't have mac software. I have parallels and I'll load up your site to take advantage of your huge gtd coming up (no idea when it is, gj on the marketing idiots) but will give you exactly zero action after that until you develop some decent mac software.

my computer is ~11 months old, has an I7 processor, and is only used for poker/HM2/pandora/skype/magic jack. all my other browsing is done on my laptop.

there isn't a session that goes by for me where I don't get disconnected from WPN and lose free hands or time out of a pot I'm involved in.

I'm not really bitching because it is, like has been mentioned, common among the sites. just chiming in to say I also have problems and it's not likely just IplayPLO

yeah, what's up with this?

huge difference between a software problem...and a connection/server problem. the problems on Sunday were clearly internet related(on their end). however, blaming these problems on the software shows your complete and utter lack of knowledge on the subject matter.

it truly sounds like there is an issue with your internet connection(s)....i'm sure you all have considered this at some point, but I don't think you realize what this can really mean.

your internet can work perfectly fine for everyday browsing, streaming music, loading videos, etc....even give very impressive speedtest results etc....but there's more to the story.
for things like online poker and video games...more often than not, the QUALITY of your connection is far far more significant. a poor quality connection can go unnoticed for years because it has little to no impact on 99% of the things you use your internet for.

i used to play a lot of computer/console games online(competitively) and even with a great QUALITY connection...there are always certain servers or people that give you connection/lag/packet-loss problems. sometimes you'd be the only person(out of 8-24 other players) who was having issues....meaning its not a problem with the connection of the server or host(or poker site in this example).

unless you guys are leaving out rather large and important details...its pretty damn obvious these are NOT software issues. even something as simple as having a bluetooth-connected device on while using WIFI, can severely impact the quality of your connection.

IMO, at most I'd say the WPN software is probably more sensitive to intermittent-disconnects or packet-loss than other poker software.

The best part of this thread is Kavilla trying to be the voice of reason.

u mad bro?

WPN reps have admitted the problem is on their end. You're right though it is the connection. WPNs ISP is unreliable. Seems like a big enough problem that a business that wants to succeed would find a way to solve it.

It's true that WPN suffers from bad network conditions here and there and it makes the client act erratically, but there is also no doubt that whatever UI toolkit or thread manager they use is desperately in need of work. Back in the day, on FTP/Stars, I could play any number of tables, with HUD, and had no issues, even with the hard disk thrashing away processing hand histories continuously. And that was 10 years ago, on far inferior equipment.

With this poker client, the more tables I have open with a HUD running, the more performance suffers. the display becomes increasingly choppy, and input response becomes increasingly sluggish.

When i was running off a hard disk, this was a big problem. I couldn't play more than 9 tables without the software becoming unusable.

It would intermittently fail to respond to button clicks, sometimes fail to automatically post my blind forcing me to sit out a round, and occasionally time out without even giving me a chance to play (and then it would display a dialog modal to the main window, causing a chain reaction of time outs on other tables).

Once I got a SSD things got a little bit better, some lag is still visible, but at least it's playable.

I'm sure someone else has seen this bug on BCP: if the lobby gets brought to foreground, the client sometimes freezes for several minutes, causing you to be booted off all your active tables for inactivity. It happens if the client has been running for a while. This software definitely has some bad, bad issues.

Yeah, it's like 2005 software. What do you expect? They have a separate lobby for tournaments, lol.

it's not even up to those standards. in 2007, i could 9 table with a HUD on full tilt, with no performance issues on a budget celeron laptop with 1gb ram.

The only reason to play here is the free money they gave me to play.

They are about to be shut out of the usa market once all states lock them out. So they are trying to suck us dry

Hey don't hate on me mister green weeney

I find it helpful when experiencing network issues to either switch my network (I have both an extender and the original router which I can connect to) or close my table and re-open it. I have been all-in on hands in tourneys and not known the outcome for 5 minutes until I look at the lobby and realize there's only one table left and I'm on it. Close table, go to lobby, double-click table, voila.

I would love if WPN could solve this problem, it sounds like a problem across the industry, but if WPN could provide the best connection I think they could corner the market. They already are supposed to have the best cashouts, and Bovada is just for gamblers, not real poker players, traffic be damned. PokerStars seems to be a long ways away; WPN's time is now.

Every site has had issues with cashouts... one, or even a few, cashout issues doesn't really make the original statement incorrect.

I must be one of the few that, so far, has enjoined my time on WPN.

By about to be shut out, you mean, not going to be shut out until at least 2030.

If even then. From what I've read, a best case scenerio, if online poker is regulated on a state by state basis, is that only about half the country will ever legalize it.
