cant wait to see ongame response

LOL

so shady
/puke

why would you even play there?

because they aren't US companies

no
its cause they dont do stupid **** like ongame

It's both IMO.

I can't believe this - it's fantastic, the idea that $11 in coupons is enough to recompense for $1000 or more in cash (or in the winners case, $125k in cash :|). Sure, it may be their standard response for all levels when queried, but it's just ridiculous to expect someone who's buying in for 1k tournaments to even use $5+0.5 coupons, let alone appreciate them in exchange for serious amounts of lost cash.

lmao

I guess I'm just the trusting type ;-)

I had viewed the site and liked the set-up, and had had no previous problems. Honestly, I never imagined a site with well known front-people would make such a colossal balk. But hey, live and learn.

I cashed half my roll out yesterday and moved it to FT. I'll see what HP's response is (if there ever is one) and then decide what to do with the other half.

BTW, on a positive note, there was no problem with my cash out.

36 hrs for the transaction to go through.

i would think that if the site went through with the 500k overlay, it wouldnt show a profit for the whole week

that said this is probably one of the scummiest moves by a site that i have seen
didnt doyles room do something like this fairly recently (except they only postponed it for a week)?

gg hollywood poker
dont let the door hit you on the way out...

lol hollywood poker...look at that douchebag vince van patten trying to sucker you in

bump.

i have no money on HP, but i'm dying to see the results of this..somewhat surprised there hasn't been anyone that finished top 5 stumbling across this thread..

Other players might simply not be on TwoPlusTwo.

It's been more than a week since the tourney and no word from Hollywood Poker, so I think they're just waiting to see if the whole thing blows over and people move on and forget. I think it would take a lot of negative publicity to measure against paying out $500k.

I'm beginning suspect Hollywood Poker/Ongame will just ride it out and keep the half million.

Anyway, I appreciate the support received in this forum. Without effective regulation, your posts are pretty much the only voice individual players have.

Best wishes to all.

- Easy

Ongame is the network that brought you FutureBet.

That's really all you should need to know.
