Fwiw, chat support told me just now Caesars properties WiFi are suppose to be "white listed". Doesn't look like that happened. They are forwarding it to the tech guy(s).

Even if they told me that it's been fixed I still wouldn't trust it. I doubt it'd be broken in 2020 if they actually knew how to permanently fix it.

Imagine being able to register for some $500 tourney and then getting kicked off again? If you're playing 20bb deep it's pretty much over for you. Playing online tournaments without a back up line is just a bad idea in general.

In the current format, most people who work 9 to 5 in Nevada can still play, and 9 to 5ers in NJ *Can* play but probably won't bc they would have to stay up late.

People taking vacations to play or who have flexible work schedules can mostly make it work and so you don't need to go too far out of your way to cater to them.


12 PST is also not feasible bc 9 to 5 ers in Nevada can't play.


The most obvious and by far best solution is to start at 3 or 4 PST but to have Day 2s.

If you can't do that, you'd start at 3 PST but remove the first couple of levels to shorten the day. Or, you could add levels late, so that the tournament still takes as long, but way fewer people are staying up super late on the east coast (i.e. you're only up late if you are at the FT).

Furthermore, maintaining this stucture on Saturday and Sunday when very few people are working 9 to 5 is just insane.

Should still delete the first stupid levels, add a bunch of levels late, make it like a 14 hour tourney, but start it at 11 or noon instead of 3
"9-5'er" here...I'd imagine a good portion of us are currently WFH; making things a bit more flexible. Finishing a tournament at 5am is an easier pill to swallow all things considered...

Is there any work-around to this? Or, is this really open to just one player in the entire Caesars Property?

"Sorry, you are not permitted to join this tournament. Another member, with an identical IP address, is already playing at this tourmament."
Happened to me as well. So lame. I can't withdraw my money either, I give them the information and it says it can't verify me.

Pour one out for Ennio Morricone. Died today at the ripe age of 91.

In this case biueberry is Eric "biueberry" Elliott, not Cheong. Name games seem rampant at the moment on WSOP.com.

Some are kind of sweet, like Mark Kroon paying tribute to fallen buddy by using name “wiscomurray”, others apparently designed to screw with people’s heads, like Guy "PhilLaak" Dunlap, Cord “BodogAri” Garcia, etc.

I thought I heard Matt Affleck chime in and confirm. But maybe I misunderstood.

Here are some confirmed:

When you win a bracelet I'll buy it for $5. Well over your market value. Deal?

Have verified my ID, trying to deposit with paypal, keeps rejecting me because it says I need a "confirmed bank account attached to my paypal address."

I have a confirmed bank account, it's a personal account, and I have already deposited $2000, $2000 and $3000 via paypal over the last month without any issue, but somehow in between those it's just rejection after rejection. Of course emails to support go unanswered.

Also got a disconnected in the middle of a hand yesterday because it said it couldn't verify that I was in NJ, restarted the software and right back no problem.

What a mess

Interesting... how was it used at the WSOP?

Quite possibly my favorite film composer ever. Even if you exclude all of the spaghetti westerns (which I do, since I've seen very few of them), Ennio provided an unbelievable texture to Cinema Paradiso, The Untouchables, Bugsy, Once Upon A Time In America.

There were even a couple of movies, like Disclosure and In The Line Of Fire, where his music seemed out of place because it was too good for the film it was in. Like using wagyu beef in a plate of carne asada fries or something.

Hey, In The Line of Fire is a decent flick!

To answer your question, they play "The Ecstasy of Gold" before the start of every WSOP bracelet event as players are taking their seats, right before they call out the "Shuffle up and deal!"

I wrote it with "i" because that is what it looked like on my screen. But I guess it really was Joseph Cheong.

Mike Matusow Will Not Face WSOP Discipline After Twitch Threats

"Matusow, a four-time bracelet winner, was eliminated after playing just two hands of the online tournament and began berating the player who won a key-hand against him leading to his eventual elimination."

I can't post the quote here, it is in the article tho. lol

"Players will have 30 seconds to re buy and must have enough funds in bankroll."

Oooohhh...guess I should have paid better attention but gosh damn what a silly way to run an online bracelet event. Saved me another bullet I guess.

Played 5 days from Margate, NJ so far here is the list of issues I've encountered:

-Can't deposit from paypal unless I have a balance, even though it says I can deposit if there's a confirmed bank account, which I have. (Although it randomly worked once)

-Failed deposits count towards your daily deposit limit, even though they don't go through (lol)

-Have been booted off hours into a session for for "teamviewing software" but wasn't told what it was. After frantically deleting Citrix (which I use for work) and trying and failing to rejoin, I eventually figured out it was my Zoom call (again, for work)

-Have been booted off twice now MID HAND when it randomly says that it cannot confirm that I am in NJ. First time, I instantly close and rejoin, no problems rest of the session. Second time, I try that, get the same error message, load it up on my phone, able to join but hand is already over (I had bet and they folded), and a couple minutes later able to get back on my comp

-Zero responses from support (have been waiting 6+ days on the paypal issue)




Those bracelets tho lol
