888 Poker / Pacific Poker Thread *** - Page 58 - Internet Poker

Hey,
How about, Tournament tickets that you can cash in for dollars.

Its great that I can play in a $3000- freeroll or a $1000- freeroll, unfortunatly, since these touraments seem to starts at like 4:30am I'm not getting any value out of being invited to play in them.
Any chance that these could be tickets AND have the option to cash them out?
Even its its only for a small amount, even if its only for a $8- bonus with play through requirements, anything would be better than nothing.

As an alternative, perhaps running a few smaller tournaments or run them less regularly, but invite players based on country to one that is at a suitable time for players in their geographical area.

Cheers
PLOhi

party's software is garbage too but it's still better than 888. I'd be playing party/stars in euroland personally.

party is the worst software imaginable, 888 is much better imo.

stars is still an order of magnitude better than every other site combined though (excluding tilt for the moment)

How about offering a smaller, Aussie friendly freeroll?

ok their support is not great and damn it the software lacks in certain areas like multi-tabling but i think 888poker is more targeted to the entertainment market [as opposed to pros?]

There are pros and cons (as with anything). Best thing to do is just try it out and see for yourself. There are some sites people swear by but I can't play just for a lack of "feel."

I've been on several live event qualifiers with 888 and this was never the case. Each time there was a disclosed amount for airfare described in the package. In my case was enough for round trip every time.

While I'm sure things do go awry from time to time, the occasional rant from a new member on the 888 forums doesn't exactly mean a whole lot. For every winner of a live event package who complains, I'm sure there are a hundred who you never hear from who had no issue.

Also, the majority of times I see a complaint from a live package winner, the issue was they didn't check into the details of the package before playing the tournament. This is just common sense IMO.

And are you allowed accounts on more than one skin (not simultaneously, I just don't like my old 888.com username)?

Yes, but they can't be in the same game.

Who`s the biggest idiot me or villain?

(Who needs to go to showdown to get his share of the jackpot).

Should be so tilted but I am kind of just laughing.

He won the pot ($230) + jackpot of $1500.

I did the EXACT same thing and was kicking myself for a week.

Annoying at times, but as mentioned before, would pose a security issue to change.
