Hi rep,

while playing SNAP I keep sitting out right after clicking the fold button (only on the table I folded on). This happens a few times an hour. Can you help me with this?

Haha, 'Mne doyedet' has turned out a prophetic screen name! (It means smth like 'I'll hit my draw' in the Russian poker slang.)

You need to withdraw in USD not CAD and let your bank do the conversion.

Hello,

Day 5 provided us some amazing poker-action with Sweden’s “bananove” taking down Event #62 Quarterback for $28,240.
Spanish pro Adrian ‘ADRI_ATM’ Mateos had to settle for 5th place and a $7,983.30 payday.

At day 6 of the $7,500,000 XL Inferno, we saw Brazil’s “LeoJoseCarne” making an amazing accomplishment by capturing 2 (!) XL Inferno titles in 1 night!

+ Day 7 expected highlights, amongst them the popular Event #86 Crazy 8, $88,000 GTD.

Your "take back the game" campaign is vague and confusing to me. From who or what are you taking the game back?

The biggest buzzkill to me is that showdowns and post-hand animations (showing who has won how much) last for 5 seconds each, longer than at almost any other major poker site. This slowdown might be negligible in cash games, but in Blast, it significantly reduces the number of hands that can be played in the tournament.

I understand that someone really needs those 5 seconds to read the winning hand, but for the majority, 2-3 seconds are enough.

Hence I propose a compromise: make an 'I'm ready for the next hand' button. If everyone who was involved in the hand clicks it (incl. automated clicking that will surely be supported by 888Caption in that case), then deal the next hand immediately without waiting for the default 5 seconds. In the automatic all-in phase, let all the showdowns last for the default time, as time doesn't matter much then.

My interpretation of the campaign is that tight regs who open too many tables and time out too often have taken fun away from online poker and 888 is going to explore extra ways to discourage people from playing too tight and too slow.

As an example, see the classical tuff_fish 45-man SNG video (warning: explicit language) where Tony wants his '100-tabling' right neighbour gone asap.

Yes totally agreed i do enjoy playing the blasts even though i doubt you can beat the rake without hitting a big spin but the speed between hands is extremely slow. Its difficult enough to finish a game within 6 minutes without the huge lag between each hand.

Hello,

The highlight of day 7th of the $7,500,000 XL Inferno Championships was, without a doubt, Event #86 $88,000 Crazy 8.
The $88 buy-in tournament drew 722 players and created a massive $90,480 prize pool.

After 11 hours and 21 minutes, the Netherlands’ “JDias99” emerged victorious to capture a $16,919 first-place prize.

It'd be nice if you had a way for canadians to cashout without getting really screwed on the exchange rate like some of your competitors. I know you think like you're making more money by passing exchange fees onto your players but I actively avoid playing on 888 if there's better options out there because I know that if I win a large amount it's going to be hell on the fees when it comes time to make a withdraw.

I already supplied you with a link on how to withdraw with the minimum costs but I have also forwarded your feedback over to the team.

888Live Barcelona exceeds all expectations as over 700 players signed up for the opening event

Our third 888Live Festival had been a roaring success with over 30 nationalities taking place so far, with 720 players entering the opening event!
It all kicked off on May 12 at the Casino Barcelona in the €200+20 Opening Event, crushing the €100K guarantee to create a prize pool of €138,240 with the top 81 spots reaching the money.

After an action-filled first three days, we were down to nine players.
Within 10 minutes, they shook hands and called it a night.

It was a friendly way to end an event that attracted to recreational players out for a good game with a decent return on their buy-in.

Hi, 888rep

I want to complain on players: m4sturbinho and UncleSahar for constant scripting on 0.5/1

Please investigate it. If you need, i can record video of their scripting
