Thanks.
The action in itself isn't illegal. However if there is any suspicious behaviour whatsoever, you'd have difficulty proving your innocence. If you can avoid the same tables, I'd recommend that. If you can't, make sure everything is on the up-and-up.

Click "Wait for Big Blind" > Check "Automatically Post Blinds"

Do NOT click "I'm Back"

1. Can you tell us what causes the AM__DB__ERROR error popup? I get this pretty frequently too.
2. With all the players in here having trouble updating I'm a little bit curious...what is the newest version of your software? I play on LuckyAce and when I click on user info in the lobby it says Poker Ver: xxxxxxx . I started playing 3 month ago and never did and update but also never had problems with the software too (besides the annoying am db error) but also wanna make sure I dont miss out on software improvements (although it seems the most useful one dealing with the waitlist problem is still around anyways). But I also wanna avoid not being able to play so I will not update unless I have to or its really necessary.
3. Waitlists in general are a huge problem sometimes...like right now every NL100 6max table has at least 3 players on the waitlist and at NL50 its almost the same...2 tables are without someone on the waitlist and the rest has 2+ players on it ....not even sure how this can be solved but that certainly doesnt mean it cant be solved...it sure as hell is annoying when you wanna start a session and kinda realize that it might take up to 15 minutes to get some tables going. This is the case several times of the day by the way...so its not just around midnight GMT.
4. Aso you mentioned this a few weeks back...how exactly can I get rid of the chatbox or at least minimize it? I only have the button where I can detach the chatbox so that its next to the table and after that I could drag it onto another monitor or whatever....but I can not minimize it...I always either see the last 3 lines of the chat or I can click on Stats...and with options I can only choose between show dealer, player and observer messages or something like that...so again...is there a chance I can get rid of the chatbox so that the chatbox will not show when I open new tables?
5. Also I would like to get rid of that Your hand feature or whatever the exact name is that shows up directly above the chatbox...any chance we can do that in the future?
1. The AM_DB Error is being worked on. They thought they solved it a number of times, but it keeps slipping through the cracks. Not sure of the cause, but it is harmless (except for being annoying).

2. P-1-en-4-6.7-0-18 is what I'm seeing. If there are major updates/fixes that you definitely don't want to miss, I'll make sure to announce it.

3. There is a plan for the waitlist issues to be handled. As always, I hesitate to give timelines because the only thing worse than not getting anything done, is being told it's getting done only to be delayed. However I'm expecting 1st Quarter-2nd Quarter of this year to be dealt with.

4. Looks like you're right. The arrow I thought that minimized it doesn't, it detaches. I'll pass some feedback along for ways we can improve the chat box. Possibly revert back to the version Roy is talking about.

5. Settings > Notifications > Show Best Hand checkbox

20bb is only at 10NL and below

I have not seen any good ones at this level yet tho, so maybe just playing above their bankroll
thats probably because no good player would ever shortstack these limits with so many 100bb fish

@ Rep

1. Thanks for at least getting back...
2. Mine starts with p-7-en....so is this a LuckyAce thing?
3. Right now...18:16 GMT is kinda impossible to get on new tables in a reasonable time....97% of tables between NL30 and NL100 nitring and 6max have at least 2+ players on the waitlist...this is a huge pain in the ass so please do something fast...whatever it is..lol.
4. thanks...looking forward to that
5. But here is the problem....every new table I open that still has the show best hand feature on it again...it only gets rid of the tables that are already running but i keeps showing up on the new ones even when show best hand is unchecked...please fix this...shouldnt be too hard.

Does Stack & Tile on any other type of pot betting and table layout software work on 888? I'm a person with a disability looking for software to help me play on the site.

I'm not sure what having a disability has to do with needing software? Maybe you leveled me idk

Anyway, I use Key Poker on 888, and it works great for me. However, I don't use the layout feature, so I'm not sure how well it works. There's a thread for it in the software forum.

I have fine motor difficulties and cannot use a mouse. Short cut keys make things easier.

I've used Key Poker on 888 and it works well, but I wish it handled the buy-in and seat me process. I also wish 888 remembered your last layout.

I'm not sure if the features you need are possible, but if you post in the Key Poker forum and talk to the developer, who's name is John, I'm sure he will do his best to implement what you need. He's been very good to me in adding features I requested.

I was also getting this ^ around 45mins. ago but seems okay now.

I haven't (hadn't) played on 888Poker for quite awhile & actually just made a deposit this past week with plans on playing on there more often in near future. So it was just tonight that I discovered that you're limited to playing on a max. of 8-tables now on 888.. wtf? why? I'm a micro player & previously while playing on there I'd be 16tabling so I was REAL DISAPPOINTED to see that this is no longer possible. 'IF' I had been aware of this, I wouldn't have deposited onto the site.

I'm also getting that AMD_ERROR crap popping up on my screen. At first it was just once in awhile, then more.. More.. MORE.. then CONSTANTLY until it froze on me. So it's suggested that I 'uninstall' & then 're-install' the software? I suppose I lose player notes while doing so?

Simply put, the 6 day withdrawal time frame(Skrill.com) is unacceptable. If you are to ever compete for a top 3 spot, you really need to do better than this. I'm not being impossible to ask an instant model (see Pokerstars.com), but a 24hr cash-out is certainly attainable.

Please respond. Thank you.

After changing the table limit to a maximum of 8, it's clear they're not trying to compete for a top 3 spot.

Just thought I'd share my negative experience with 888's email [I]support[I].

I emailed 888 with a complaint concerning several free rolls that would not register my enrollment in spite of my qualifying status. Not a big deal since they're only free rolls, but I was still hoping for a relatively professional reply.

Well 28 (!) days later I finally get a reply qualifying me for additional free rolls.
I replied expressing my surprise and dismay that any type of complaint should take 28 days for a response. 888 [I]support[I] replied basically saying we're too busy and that's just the way we roll.

I'd like to think that if I had a more serious complaint they would have replied sooner...but I seriously doubt it. Not exactly a reassuring experience.

is 888 still stealing beatbeat jackpot rake when you're sitting out? seems like im missing some money, i will go thru my hh again....Did they fix that bug?

*edit
something is not right. i played around 450 hands of badbeat table today. Was playing 6 tables, half of them badbeat tables, so couldnt really tell if 888 was stealing from me or not. HEM doesnt include bad beat rake, but i was sure only around half my hands should be raked for bad beat.

- half the time i was the only one posting badbeat jackpot blind.
lost around $200 in bad beat jackpot rake only.

-i should only lose ~$100 since half the time no one else posted, i play lots of HU and most time guys dont even post.
wont be playing till the fix this. losing money when i dont even get the jackpot...

.shouldnt I get a refund after the hand if Im the only 1 posting???

I just checked their built in hh browser.

They are stealing money from me
There rule stats that

Two or more players must contribute to the Jackpot. If less than two players contribute, the hand will not be eligible for the Jackpot. Contributions from participating players will be returned to their bankrolls.

Seems like they only refund the money on hands not raked, but on hands thats rake, and im the only one posting the badbeat, they dont return it..........

I am running Trend Micro Titanium anti-virus, and when I install 888.com it says that spyware has been installed, then deletes 888. I thought 888 was a reputable site, why is my aniti-virus telling me spyware is being installed? Has anybody else had this problem?
