no..be yourself. don't trust them...
there is no federal law that says you have to play at their site.
you obviously have a ton of concerns so why take the chance of sticking $100 of your hard earned money in a company like them...WHY....
you would just be miserable playing anyway.
let me and whoever else wants to play..play
if you want to protest them, get a sign and protest

I don't think there is a rake tracker. I don't know anything about the Mac issue other than Dax seems to be on top of making sure they get taken care of.

No. But you won't miss them. You have not seen tables like these before.

WTF is your issue? How about we let Dax answer my questions since I asked him, not you.

At the 6max tables.....why is there so much space in between the left 3 seats and so less space in between the right 3 seats. Not symmetrical at all. Looks ugly this way.

Is it just me that gets annoyed by this?

Whoops, I just noticed something bad about the rake. Looks like they are taking rake without a flop!. In addition to that it appears that there is a glitch or its being hidden.

In .25/50 blind NL someone raises and all fold it shows Player X wins 1.25 which is how much the pot would be without a rake(SB, BB, and the .50 from player that raised) however very quickly you see .05 in the rake area, so it should say Player X wins 1.20.

Obviously the numbers are much higher on bigger games, taking preflop rake is horrible and I'm guessing WSOP.com and others will not but we will have to wait and see.

Went to Target & bought the $15 Alcatel 510a Phone, & a $15 phone card. Had to go to the AT&T corporate store today to get a new Sim card (one in the box wasn't recognized by the phone), but now all is working fine. Major cross-streets I live by: Desert Inn & Hollywood Blvd (the far East) if that helps anyone.

They swore I had to get the $25 account to start because that was the cheapest option the computer showed, he said the $15 was for reload so I had to get $25 plus $15 for the phone.

Are you sure? They said no rake if a flop isn't seen. Pretty sure others would've noticed this if it wasn't te case.
05-04-2013 , 04:37 AM
Who said? Maybe a glitch but of you watch you will see a rake in rake area. I did match up starting player stack and ending to confirm tho.
05-04-2013 , 04:39 AM
I did not is what I meant.

There's a weird glitch that I've noticed it as well, but it doesn't lead to pre-flop rake.

When the player wins the pot pre-flop they don't win an amount that looks raked. For example, when player x has a stack of $20 and wins the pot you mentioned, their stack goes to $21.25, not $21.20.

If there was pre-flop rake I'm pretty sure it would've been brought up on the very first day, early and often.

But yeah, another bug. A harmless bug, but one that should be fixed.

As a delawarean, this makes me happy and sad. Cant wait for this to finally get running here.

because you only came here to stir up trouble. you just want to argue with every other poster who WANTS to play on this site. and argue about whos fault black Friday really was.. you didn't come to ask questions. you came to vent.
the one guy said just trust them and try it out and you said REALLY just trust them.. that's what he said and others too so I replied to you.
'you DONT Trust them. so don't play. its a free country. dax isn't going to change your mind no matter what he says. he will say they know of the problems and are working to fix them..THAT WONT BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU. so my reply is simple. don't play. you are totally pissed at someone or some group and you are just here to vent and rant and not to get questions answered

Ok here is my issue, I have tried emailing support am getting no where. I am a Verizon customer so I bought a Samsung prepaid phone from Walmart. It allowed me to get verified and I thought I was good to go.

My issue now is that after playing for roughly half an hour or so I will start getting disconnects. And then the strangest part is the entire poker client will just crash and suddenly disappear. Usually right in the middle of a hand.

Anyone having a similar issue, what might the problem be? I have a VERY new computer, I am on the East side of LV, Cox high speed internet, T-mobile phone. Why am I disconnecting?

The "Can I get a "drop" phone?" spoiler in the latest 1.4 FAQ doesn't work (nothing shows when I click spoiler button).

It's 8 am Pacific and I just opened the Ultimate Poker client to take a look at the games running... came to the sad realization that there will be huge dead times on this site because there are no international players to keep the games running at all hours

That is only because of the location verify problem mainly and because its only been around 4 days. If not for location thing, there would way more traffic already.

There are 2 things necessary to grow the business IMO now that it's up and running and all legit like:

1. You gotta try and get players from other states in the player pool somehow.

2. You gotta lose the phone triangulation thingy.

Wonder how the games will be during WSOP time. Can foreigners who are temporarily in Nevada play at the site?

Interesting... where did you find that info?

I can not find a "last hand" replayer... I assume there isn't one???
05-04-2013 , 11:53 AM
so, i'm a Verizon customer forever. I am thinking of switching now. Can anyone tell me who has the 2nd best coverage here in Vegas, lol. Verizon by far has the best. How is T-Mobile?
