Then give it a day or two and contact PokerHost and let them know how you've proceeded thus far.

This is only good advice if you:

  • Were an active PH player
  • Your PH account is older than your Full Flush account
  • You can speak clearly, concisely, and politely to support


**preferably you weren't actively playing on your FF account, odds of getting back on PH decrease significantly if you were also active on FF

Thank you for the advice, but its not applicable to my situation. I've been playing on Full Flush since early November and would rather be playing on 5dimes.

Any idea if we will ever get PT4 support for 5Dimes Open Waters?

Does the PH and/or Network not spawn a new Omaha table when one is full? Is this a bug or flaw? Fix this.

I'm pretty sure that the number of tables is fixed. I would send an email to support asking them to create more tables at the stakes you play at.

There probably won't be any direct support anytime soon but someone made a converter that might be of use to you. I don't know enough about PT4 to know if it has a tablefinder. The link below is to a converter to get hands to work in HM2. If PT4 has a tablefinder, it should work for that also. If not, it should still be able to import hands manually but I don't think you'd be able to get a HUD to work.

trying to figure out if I have some sort of issue with a filter or something or if this is happening to everyone. For the past several days the higher $ SnG's have been slowly disappearing and never coming back. First it was the $10 HU and then $20 HU now the $10 6 max and full ring are gone and the highest stakes is $7? Are other people having this issue? Are they doing some type of update like FTP used to do where they would slowly close down stakes right before they did a server reboot/update?

I've noticed it as well. I don't understand why it's happening myself. It's perturbing.

Starting to get frustrated with this Poker Host situation. With no mention of the consequences beforehand I have money stuck on Poker Host because I already had an account on FullFlush. When I contact PH they just keep telling me Equity will work it out. But they have passed an April 15th date they gave me, and they seem to know less about it now than before. I don't care what they do, let me play PH or move my money to Full Flush & I told both of them that. I have a little money on FF but I don't want to add to it till this is resolved. Wish I never joined either one at this point.

Is there any reason to not have 6max NL 2/4 (only HU, 4max & FR) when it's on every other limit?

Just wanted to note I can vouche for getting paid. Requested a $1,000 cashout on a Saturday via live customer service rep and he set it up for me himself. Got an email that Wednesday that said my money was ready to be picked up.

I picked up my money with no hassle. Got $1,000 bucks in my bank account now, deciding on what to do with it.

Customer Service is always accessible via live chat.

Software could be better, obviously. But I'm currently playing only 2 tables, the OMAHA 1/2 and 1.5/3 tables and don't have to worry about bad software multitabling now.

All in all, as a Maryland resident, I give this site high points.

They'll never get higher than an 8/10 for me because they don't offer rakeback. They should do this...Open waters at 5dimes claims to offer rakeback so I'll check that out because they're literally the same exact thing. Full Flush Poker and Open Waters are identical just have different names and different promotions. Not sure how that works.....

Cause with the way I'm playing, I could get $100 a day in rakeback even at 27%. That's $3k a month...sigh.

I'm not sure what 'skin' I'm on, but It's called Full Flush Poker when I login.

I currently get $1 for every 200 POP points.

Open Waters offers $5 for every 100 POP points.

As you can see, the difference is staggering.

I also heard I needed to wait 6 months before I could switch. As a MD resident, with not having other viable options of sites to play on in that time, this was bad news.

Anyone I could speak to perhaps get an 'in' and get a better rakeback deal?

Not to my knowledge, its 6 months or nothing afaik. Yea that sounds about right, too bad by chance u signed up with the wrong skin first. Maybe play else where for six months til u can switch to 5dimes? Idk if your games are available on wpn or not

Well, I go to log in today and account was disabled...
From Support:

At this time your Poker Host has been closed, since our network has come to this decision after checking your table activity and have notice your aggressive play within the network, they have done a serious of background checks in order to come to this conclusion, at this time since we are in a small but growing poker network we cannot afford your aggressive behavior , we are now in a network the focuses on having recreational poker players and you do not meet this criteria, we thank you for your business at Poker Host, but at this time we will restricted your account, and the we will proceed with the normal process to cash out your funds in a prompt matter. We will be happy to hear from you in about 6months to a year, time the we expect to be big enough to afford your activity and continue the good relationship the we have had.

I wonder if im eligible for 5dimes...Too bad PH, your support and cashout system was top of the line

It's really disappointing that Equity would stoop to that kind of behavior. I had high hopes for the network but if they are banning winning players, then Equity is nothing but a shady operation.

There is something not quite right about a network that claims that it needs to ban players to protect its recreational players yet charges some of those very same players a 10% rake on the entry level cash games.

There are myriad discrepancies in the lobby. I know of at least four parties, including myself, who have asked EPN directly for changes. Tick Tock Tick Tock.

Yes, quite a few. Unfortunately the information is not aggregated anywhere. I created this EPN cashout thread for this express purpose.

It is 6 months of complete inactivity.

You are on Full Flush skin.

No, they do not give out rakeback deals.

These account closures, which have happened on all skins, are passed down by the network themselves. In this case, it is EPN, not PokerHost, who forced these closures.

that's wack, I thought you cussed out a player as opposed to playing too baller.

Doesn't sound like this site is worth playing, with 10% rake?!

I agree with Santa. This is just horrible for any player. Even losing recreational players have hopes of becoming winning players. To essentially rig a skill based game like poker to ensure that no player can ever prosper regardless of the work they put in or the skills they acquire, to greedily increase your profits, is just horrifically bad for the game and extremely short sited as well. It destroys the whole essence and appeal of the game.

I would personally recommend no one play on this network. Playing there is essentially supporting this type of behavior and that is not a precedent as players that we should set.

Damn, this is insanity imo. Upon reading the post (The one about being banned by EPN) for the first time I thought this guy had to be trolling. That there would be NO WAY a poker site would ever ban a player for being 'too aggressive'.

It seems like a cover up for banning a winning player. Do they think that an aggressive/winning player pushes away recreational players from playing. I would have to think that banning under these circumstances would hurt a sites brand far more than the banning of the winning would help them.

Really insane. Appears like others here aren't too shocked by this news.

I guess I'm not surprised but I'm curious to know what other factors were involved in the decision and what stakes he was playing at.

No. They believe that keeping winning players off of the tables will allow them to empty a much larger portion of the recreational players pockets into their own pockets by not allowing any of that money to end up in the hands of other players. Its basically a greedy money grab against all players disguised as protecting recreational players. Many sites implement rules and changes to try to tilt the results to this end, but there is a line that can be crossed and this type of systematic manipulation and blatant expulsion and elimination of winning players clearly crosses that line imo.

I agree 100%. I think that greed sometimes makes people see the extra dollar they can grab now and not see the two dollars they might be losing in the future.

I think many were aware of this and this type of action unfortunately isnt unique in the gaming industry, other ****ty networks have done this or similar things over the years unfortunately.
