So you can try this just like I did:
right clic on the ggnet icon on the instalation folder and clic on properties ,then you go to the compatibility tab and ejecute the troubleshooter.

In my case the troubleshooter suggested to run the game in compatibility mode with windows 8, and it solved my problem.

Hope it works for you too.
This might be true because I ran GG before on an old macbook and it ran perfectly. So Windows 10 is the problem?

Was always confused as to why the lobby itself uses a massive amount of processing.

Holy ****. Thank you so much. It looks like this might have actually done the trick.

Re the PLO rake. I played a little before realising that 3% uncapped was ridiculous. To make certain, three nights ago I opened up one of the VIP tables. Although 6 max, two guys were playing HU there. One, a German, had around 900k in front of him while the other player, (from Croatia), was buying in for 80k and "taking shots".

They were straddling every hand to $3200 or even $6400 pre. Eventually, Mr 80k, who had built up to double, gets it all in for a pot of $311 761.24. The chips slide across and the rake that was taken was $9352 and change. Over NINE GRAND rake for one hand.

At least Dick Turpin had the grace to wear a mask ...

Still $450 for that hand though ... assuming what you say is true, of course.

Quite how they get 95% when most players get two fifths of **** all is beyond me.

i can only imagine like this: 50% FB + 45% affil (but imo he misses the reality: those are PVI numbers)

Anyone else experiencing a bug where you buy into something with a tournament ticket, but subsequently it charges you the buy in amount and re-credits the ticket back to your account? I thought I must have miss-clicked or something the first time, but it's happened again so something is definitely up.

It certainly has helped but it hasn't resolved the problems. Yesterday evening was a nightmare playing on the site but I think everyone was the same. Players were timing out left and right on all my tables and loads of players at the tables talking about the problems they are having. How they are getting away with providing this service is joke. If the site can't handle the traffic then limit the numbers on the site or something. This is just giving so many players a horrible playing experience which means they will never come back after the series.

Is there a rep for GGPoker on this site? I need to contact them about an issue with my account but I am finding it hard to get a reply from support.

Anyone notice fish points don't add up from what you actually pay in rake? I had to pay 515$ in rake for the last 40k fpps I earned. Which should be 400$ in rake

That's because of their PVI, if they consider you a winning player they adjust your #'s and you pay more rake per point. Consider yourself lucky, for me $515 in rake would get me 13,644 points right now. So on the wheel where they say win up to 60% cashback it's kinda BS. Because technically max I can get is 15% if I spin the top. Wish they were more transparent about this.

ok so I just raked 155$ in tournaments and got 12,500 FPs

It looks like they've completely changed the transparancy of 1FP=0.01$ rake paid from their page. And I now see
Quote:
The number of Fish Points you accumulate per $1 paid in rake/fees may vary based on a variety of factors, such as the game type or tournament played, your behavior at the tables and deposit history
So it looks like they've also added PVI to tournaments. That's the only reason I can think of for not getting 15,500 FPs today

So advertising cashback numbers like this:


seems borderline illegal

Then I look at my new fishbuffet balance.

You are suppose to get 1 fishbuffet point for each cent of rake you pay.

so example, starting balance is 100$, starting fish buffet is 0.

I finish my session and balance is now 115$.

I won 15$. I look at pokercraft and it says I won 20$.

It means I paid 5$ of rake.

I look at fishbuffet, it says 300 points.

I should have gotten 500 points with 5$ of rake.

300 divided by 500 is 0.60, so my PVI is 0.60.
Does leaderboard winnings affect your PVI??

I moved my bankroll to Natural8 three days ago (boycotting Pokerstars until they fix their problems) and I just came across several comments on this forum warning others that the missions in their Honeymoon promo are impossible to beat (one of the missions is: "Play a Daily Hyper and rank 1st place", another is "Play a Bounty Hunter and rank 1st place", etc.).

I was wondering if anyone knows which is the last "doable" honeymoon mission and if it's worthy to follow them until that day. Otherwise I am not going to bother playing everyday as I am pretty disappointed to read here that nobody can get the ~100t$ or the ~150$ anyway.

I guess I shouldn't post a link, but if you google "honeymoon missions ggpoker" it gives me a site with all the missions listed.
