Some ****ed up **** going on now... I look in my cashier, its like 1.805$ and im like, sweet! (I was up 205 that session) then I keep on playing, and I just start sucking and in middle session I go from +205$ to -200$, (Here my br should be 1400) I look in my cashier and it shows 1.135$ and I go like WTTF!!? and then it goes to back to 1400$ after about 40 seconds or something, and Im like, wow...

Then I keep on playing and I stop when im total down -178$ at that session, and I look in my bankroll, and it shows me 1422$. Then I SHUTDOWN my pc, go to work, come back, and i sign in, I have 1309 or something and Im ofc like huh? And there is NO history about this..

Btw, I ended this day now in total +260$ and my over all graph has never been higher.
But cashier shows 1696$.. Now thats pretty ****ed up! I started the day in 1600$ and got +205 and it showed 1805$ but now I have even earned more than +205$ and it shows only 1696$ !!

Sorry pretty long and I say the same thing over again and again probarly :P but srs, what the ****?!

I would imagine it will just move to the standard I-Poker VIP system.

I cashed out and moved back to 888 though.

Can you link me to something that would indicate this would happen? I'm not from Spain but just curious.

Edit: nevermind, I did some googling and seems like this is actually happening, although I'm not sure how 888 is reacting. Hopefully Mr. 888 Rep can inform us.

I really like the 5bbs games and the I belive in that concept and think it can get very big.
However not if you will keep doing what you are doing now in terms of how you rake it.

$4 are you joking!!!!!
I play 25/50 and even I think that is way to much i think the most +ev thing for 888poker to do if they belive the concept in it so much as I do.

Is dropping it a lot. So regs would start playing heads up vs each other or 6max just because of the fun of it it should be one the level where you dont think about the rake imo.

If you keep this rake the higher stakes games will turn in to fish hunting and the regs will turn in to serious dickheads no fun at all.

I am also woundering what do the different vip levels give you in RB% going for max value?

I haven't heard any plans of KO tourneys in the works at the moment. I'll inquire, but don't imagine it would be anytime soon. By Branded tourneys, do you mean tourneys for 888 gear?

I made the rebuy rake argument when they first implemented rebuys. I can't see it changing soon either....but who knows. Stranger things have happened.

Has this corrected itself? Sometimes the system lags and occasionally it reads as though you buyin is still on the table and not in your available bankroll to cash out. So if you were sitting on a 1/2 tale with $205, this would explain it. Usually it corrects itself in a matter of seconds, or minutes, but can occasionally take longer.

Let me know if it is still displaying incorrectly.

I haven't heard anything about it. I did a quick Google and still not sure if I found what you're refering too. I asked, but they didn't seem to know what I was talking about (probably since I wasn't being nearly specific enough).

At this time, my guess would be "no." For the sake of the softness of the games, I hope not :P (Appologies to my Spanish friends).

Once I get more details I'll report back.

Appreciate the feedback about the P/F tables. Most people here echo your feelings.

VIP Diamond - Effective 36%
VIP - 27%

I started thinking...

I have played 1800 hands on Jackpot tables (100nl), I have never unchecked the JP box..

Is that the problem? HEM shows me total about 2400$+ winnings, and I deposited 150$ and I got total 1955$ in my cashier,
does that mean I have paid from my account like 590$ to that jackpot.. LOL?! in 1800 hands.. wow :l
Can I see statics about that somewhere?

Pretty sick if thats right, could be more much more up without even playing them, even tho im winning a little there!

But still, the ~1415$ to ~1320$ doesnt make any sens at all, because I clicked on the progrma after I finished session, and then closed it, the opened it again, to get bonuses to update in my cashier and then I closed it again, then I come back and bamm.. ~85$ gone! Pretty weird having a 2400$+ graph and only 1950$ in your cashier (150$ deposit included in that) hmmmhm

You probably paid more than $590. You paid $900 for the 1800 hands you played plus 50 cents a hand for every hand while sitting out. Have you ever won a piece of it with quads or straight flush?

Part of the discrepancy could be that if you're the only one to post the jp, the .50 is returned to you cause you need at least 2 players to post it.

There's already a Boxing Glove Symbol in the lobby, so why are there no plans for making tourneys?


I saw an 888 table with a guinness logo on it. Was this a screenshot of a (beta) branded tourney or just some homemade table-appearing?

Is there anyone putting thought into fixing the fact that the Jackpot tables steal money from players all day? The tables will take your .50 even if you aren't dealt into a hand and it doesn't return it. Over the coarse of a month this can easily cost you 100-200 dollars if you don't notice this. This bug is not acceptable to have on any site and should be fixed and players all refunded some sort of money.

My english is bad, sorry about that.

I have played 3600 hands last week in Jackpot tables, just for test, between two days. First day I thought "so wierd, did I a cashout? Sure I saw my cashier wrong when I started session."
Simply I wanted to die when second day I understood.

18 BI is too much, sounds like a fraud when I rake over 10k every month.

I think it's pretty obvious I wasn't suggesting free rebuys, if you read my post again I'm pretty sure you'll get what I mean.

I'll check on the status of the boxing glove symbol.

Where did you see the screenshot? If it came from 888, maybe it was done for the IO or the WPT Dublin tourneys. I'll ask.

The only thing I can say with certainty at this point is that 888 is a public company and will not offer it's services in a market where it is illegal to do so.

YOUR EARLIER STATEMENT ABOUT TOURNAMENT TABLES BEING CAPPED AT 24 IS INCORRECT

I have registered for a 9th tournament right now, and there is no way i can even play that tournament, or unregister for that. I am going to have to wait until i bust from another tournament. That is a complete joke. I cant see how capping tournament tables is beneficial to the fish, fish want high prize pools

either fix this or dont let me register for more than 8 tourneys, otherwise you are just robbing people
