hehe, yes, that was a good flick. I enjoyed making mods, and did pretty well considering I had no formal training with photoshop and learned everything on my own, but once I started working full time for HM it was too hard to do both and HM obviously pays better.

Fozzy, its been awhile since i played there, but I think I recall minted poker using your font also.

Not sure, but I'll try to find out.

another bump! pls keep sending in those HH!

anyone have an approximate time period on how long BCP support takes to receive and approve documents?

^

I don't remember how long exactly for me but am thinking it was like within an hour lol, I might of gotten them at a good time in there work day tho, I scanned in documents btw

It should not be longer than one business day. Did you send them to security@blackchippoker.eu?

only took a few hours, thanks guys.

Hi,
I'm trying to get PT3 to work for BCP...is that still possible? I'm trying to import hands into the Winning Poker site configuration and getting this error message every time I start the Auto-Import:

Unable to launch auto-import for site: Winning Poker Network. Reason: Winning Poker Network auto-importer needs to be configured.

Any help is appreciated.

The email when you first do the debit card says you will get another email when it gets shipped out with the tracking number. For those that have gotten a card does this usually happen? It's been 12 days since i submitted so i contacted support they said it is on it's way but no tracking information is available.

Would you guys recommend Black Chip to a US player? I'm on Lock and Bovada right now.

Here is an honest evaluation. PokerScout graphs have them dipping pretty fast as of late. Noticeable slow-down in MTTs (I have been grinding them out last 60 days). Even the comments in the various WPN Network help threads has slowed considerably.

My opinion, people endure BCP and other WPN skins due to the payouts, but it seems the growth has reversed due to the many software issues that just drive you absolutely nuts, especially if you are playing MTTs/Sats. I have not been playing cash as of late so I can not comment on the reason the cash games are seeing decline in numbers, but the high rake rates at the smaller stakes may certainly be the reason, not sure.

Then they irritate their customers further by redesigning their respective websites, while horrible software issues have remained unfixed for the entire time I have played on the network (almost 1 year).

You will likely face worse issues with the software at Seals With Clubs etc, but that is no excuse for a mainstream poker site.

I have been strongly recommending Americas Cardroom, BCP, WPN Network for quite some time but they are really trying my patience. There may be complex reasons behind the scenes that are causing these issues (American legal complexities) and they may not want growth.

But in the end, yeah, if you do not mind playing on some software that seems like it barely came off 1999, constantly messing with your game because of one screw-up or software flaw or tournament lobbies not working properly, then you should at least give Black Chip Poker a try, especially if you are playing on the worst US Facing Network, Lock Poker (where I would get my money off that in a second).

PS...As I was typing this I had a playable hand in a satellite and my buttons disappeared which caused me to have no options but to watch the hand fold and nothing I could do about it. Lovely, After a while, people are just not going to put up with this type of stuff and will leave the network

WEC nailed it.

If you have the patience to deal with all the idiosyncrasies of the client, and smaller player pool, it doesn't really matter if you start winning.

My volume is low and it might just be variance but ive doubled my roll here since bcp changed networks. But im also really selecting spots.

Any news on the BCP store if they will add better cash bonuses?

Unlikely, those bonuses are part of how Elite Benefits = a copy of PokerStars VIP program. I sincerely doubt that the Winning Poker Network is going to upgrade to > PokerStars VIP program in terms of rewards.

are there any usa players at bcp who grind for a living fulltime or at least part time and do they keep track of there wins and losses for tax time for the irs.cause im thinking of grinding parttime to make some extra money and i just wanted to know if i should keep record to report

keep track of all your online poker play using poker tracker or holdem manager. that will help you a lot come tax time.

Lock/juicy is trading .5-.6 to the $1 in transfer thread, carbon/merge there is no more p2p transfers..I haven't played on bovada but I would recommend bcp and if possible sign up with intertops as well which is invite only tho

You will get tracking the the $25 deducted when it is shipped and once it is shipped comes withing a day or 2

I'm getting RB, and I have about 58k BCP points, Is it better to buy the $600 cash bonus or get the tourney $ since that is a better points per $ ratio . I'm normally a cash game player

I think u answered ur own question there
I always take the T$ cuz it's better value for me but if you don't like mtt's just take the cash

I was unable to play a $24 hyper turbo I registered for.

Basically I registered for a hyper turbo - a $24 one - I was waiting for a while - and all of a sudden it disappears and eats my money. I contact support and they say it started and I was disconnected. That is very odd because I playing cash tables and a $6 hyper turbo at the same time.

I got in a very heated debate with support and they said they will have a supervisor email me. Just be very cautious playing these. This is very unfortunate and tilting at the same time.

i sent them a copy of my PT4 Tourney history and it shows a total of 29 hyper turbos that I played today. I played them all except a $24 hyper turbo that I registered for. That one never registered on my Poker tracker - A window never popped up for me, and the site basically ate my money.


HAS any one else encountered this?? I know this is very rare as I played 29 out of 30 tourneys today - but has this happened to any one else? Please let me or support know.

I've never had a tourney lobby simply disappear and not allow me to play or enter the tourney, but I've had had some tourney tables not load up on their own and I've had to go into the tourney lobby to take my seat a couple of times. Its a pain in the ass if your multi-tabling, considering you could always forget that you registered for that tourney/satellite and just lose that $ without even playing.

Never did get a tracking number or email saying my card was on the way but it arrived today so doesn't really matter.

Mine arrived today as well. I believe we sent in the documents roughly the same time. However, I did receive an email with a DHL tracking number.

Anyways, to people with cards, will I need to withdraw cash from the ATM then deposit into my bank account, or is there another way to transfer the money over?
