Would be nice if we could disable the "We'll keep a seat warm" pop-up every time we close the client.

The focus, however, should not be on providing more variety at this point in time. What needs to be done right now is to remove all the non-guaranteed waste of space devaluing the rest of the schedule while nailing down some quality guaranteed tournaments at a variety of price points. There should be less tournaments, but they should all be tournaments people actually want to play (those with a guarantee).

The 1k and 2.5k guarantees are good quality tournaments, but there are a lot of players playing those who would play many more tournaments if they were offered. An attractive guarantee is the key. Guarantee it and they will play. No guarantee and the tournament never gets off the ground. Critical mass and all that.

1. When will you add HU Sit N Go's? This question has been asked several times already, why hasn't it been answered?

2. Does your software have some sort of collusion detection? I am a little concerned with such a small player pool and only 6 handed 1/2 tables going that I would be playing against a bunch of "friends"

3. Since HU eliminates any collusion concerns, you should prioritize these games (both SNG and Cash) ASAP

lol, half of my bills are paid automatically each month with ACH. i can understand not using it for wsop, but why would you want to individually have to pay all of your bills each month when you can just set up automatic withdrawal?

The client has a ridiculously strong profanity filter for the chat box. Cant say "Time for a piss" but not for usernames.

It's exactly the same "direct access" you grant the merchant every time you use a Visa or Mastercard tied to that account or write a check from that account.

Excellent job so far on the software rollout. If you guys add PLO8, you guys should benefit from a steady stream of regulars and heavy play. You'll have a steady base of loyal players who are willing to stick in games for a long time. PLO is awesome 9-handed but games of 6-max PLO I've been playing in have died way too quickly due to the large variance with the small # of players, and the solid players running over the game. I don't think that 6-max PLO should be eliminated, don't get me wrong. It's a great game, but the addition of PLO8 will satisfy a lot of the players who are only playing regular PLO right now because it's the only Omaha game available.

Why are there practically no players on or very many games going on right now? The software is far superior than UP, I can't see why any player would want to play on an inferior product that also ocassionaly crashes.

But it would be nice to see more games going other than a rousing 1C/2C or 5c/10c no limit game going on except for maybe a 50c/$1.

People need to come to this better product.

Also, if you add other mixed games (2-7, A-5, Badugi, Razz, etc.), I think you'll see enough regulars gravitating to the site to make it well worth it for you guys. Mixed games in Vegas are obviously hugely popular, and since you guys already are working with 888's existing European software, I wouldn't imagine it would take a complete overhaul to implement it. That said, I can completely understand if you guys want to wait to see how the site takes off, and get through the trial period first. Just some wishful thinking for the future

Traffic really is poor. I don't think this has been advertised well.

And the re-load bonus they offer is 5 time tougher to earn than UP's 100 dollar bonus currently being offered. so, yes, the software is better. is it 5x or more better, which is what it might take to get someone to leave UP and come on over?

That remains to be decided by the current player pool.

1st of all this is no longer A brand new concept(regulated online poker) its been here since April 30th.

2nd a lot of people fear change or are too lazy, stubborn or stupid to switch to a better product.

3rd its only been a tad over 24 hours and the weekend is coming up when working people will have time to mess with D/L and deposit, etc.

4th its hard to believe but a lot of people still don't know it's launched.

I think by Sunday night there be a lot more players on and by the following weekend poker scout numbers will show better for WSOP than UP.

Currently, the software is only compatible with Mac and PC desktops. Mobile and tablet versions are not available yet, but are included in our product roadmap. Once a timeframe for this becomes available, we will notify the 2p2 community immediately.

When does the big advertising blitz start? Some TV commercials would probably help the biggest problem WSOP.com has right now, which is lack of players actually playing.
09-20-2013 , 05:28 PM
im trying to better figure out the action points. if $3 is raked then 6 action points are given to everyone who contributed to the pot? or are the 6 action points divided amongst the contributes to the pot?

I still can't get past the Century Link issue. They seemed to figure out the problem for the Cox people but not for Century Link. I can play at UP but not on WSOP.

The way I believe is if you put $18 lets say into the pot of $60 and assuming rake was $3 then you would have contributed $18 which is $0.90 rake and get 1.8 app's for that hand.

Does anyone know how to view your Action Player Points?

I took my laptop to bally's yesterday to test their free wifi which is century link and it said I was not in nevada.

The manager called his boss and shortly after I left someone from wsop was there and tested it with there laptop and were able to log on.

So I'm not sure if it was my phone signal was weak or I had the phone wifi on or maybe should have tried a few more times but apparently century link does work.

Hoping that they extend the welcome bonus, as has been mentioned by others. The traffic is very low right now, and it will be virtually impossible to clear at the rate the games are currently going.

Any chance this is being considered WSOP rep?

I would imagine that they are waiting to work out the bugs first. That is not a bad idea considering the IP and cell phone triangulation issues being reported.

I was in Rio last night to cover a WSOP.com story and the only item advertising WSOP online poker was in the poker room and it still said "coming soon".
