Looks like most of the table is sitting out. Did you give them a few minutes to respond as they were maybe away from their computers and didn't notice you straight away.
You can send issues like these directly to support@888poker.com and they will look into them.
Thanks

Because they don't want to spend time playing $3 and $1 games to realise ~$1 equity?

Did a quick search of the thread and didn't find anything.. Does 888 have Snap PLO? Any plans to implement if not?

There's only 1 stake of SNAP PLO available - $0.05/0.10 (table 'Cheonan'). It's not very populated - has ~15 (?) entries at peak, sometimes there are just 4-6 people at a single table (e.g. 6 right now).

Hello

Day 13 of the $7,500,000 XL Inferno Championships was comprised of 11 events, and saw Argentina’s “Dmilito22” capture his second title in two days. In addition, “PuntSonPunt” topped a tough final table to take down the Crocodile.

Day#14 – Six Max Featured on Penultimate Day

The penultimate day of the XL Inferno will see 13 events ranging in buy-ins from $30 up to $215. That includes the $215 buy-in Event #170 $40,000 Octopus, $160 buy-in Event #172 $20,000 Crocodile, and $55 buy-in Event #178 $30,000 Saturday Challenge.

Thanks ****.

One more question, are there mixed game tables? Horse or 8-game, etc.?

Sorry for the dumb questions. I'm planning on moving from the US so curious about sites other than Stars.

There are no mixed games on offer at 888. There are only stud tables (8-max) in the lobby, and they barely run. E.g. right now, only 1 stud table is dealing - $0.25/0.50 Stud Hi with 3 people sitting.

I'm afraid that Stars is the only site nowadays where you're guaranteed to have mixed game tables running.

Speaking of the Snap PLO pool, it actually has 30 entries as of now, that's nice. But still, there's not enough liquidity to allow for the addition of higher stakes. Most of the PLO population is at non-Snap tables.

Last night, I won $1500 in a $15 Blast Tournament. I was so excited and planned to withdraw most of the money to help with my downpayment for a flat. I went to bed after playing one more game and planned to deduct the majority of my $1600+ balance the next day. I know it's kind of silly, but I was so excited that I wanted to still see the balance in the account one more time before withdrawing around $1300ish of the total.

This evening, I looked at my email and saw that I received a message about 8 hours before from a Senior Support Representative noting "We noticed that you’ve recently increased your level of play on your **** account at 888poker." I thought it was odd, but did think I had played a bit more than usual the past couple days while I was home sick. However, after logging back into my account moments later, I realized to my horror that all except $27.38 of the balance was gone!

I promptly decided to check my withdrawal history and did not see anything suspicious. Then, I checked my "Game History" and it is showing a ton of Blast Tournaments that I did not play in after I logged out of my account; most notably a large number of $30 Blast Tournaments. I rarely play in blast tournaments with a higher buy-in than $15, which my account history can demonstrate.

Is there any way to get this money back? I'm absolutely devastated and can only think that I must have been targeted by someone who "Observed" my Blast Tournament. They list the Blast Tournaments that win the large jackpots at the bottom of the screen and allow people to observe and see the usernames of the players. I realize I was lucky to ever be in one of those jackpot blast tournaments at all, but now all of my money is gone. What do I do? Please help me.

I have already emailed back the Senior Support Representative who messaged me and sent an independent email to the address you kindly provided. So far, I have only received automated responses. Do you have any other suggestions? Thank you so much for your thoughtful help in this matter.

Hi rep, if you fix your lobby and waiting list conditions, you will have far less trouble with dead tables in sitouts and also might result in smoother cashgame traffic.

Hello

Day 14 of the $7,500,000 XL Inferno Championships was comprised of 13 events, sand saw Twitch superstar and 888poker Ambassador Parker “888tonkaaaa” Talbot finish third in the Breeze. In addition, Romania’s “PokerMogo” captured his second title of the series.


Day#15 – What’s in Store for the Final Day?

Sundays are always big for online poker players, but this Sunday is event bigger with the conclusion of the XL Inferno Championships. There are 17 events on tap with buy-ins ranging from $22 up to $1,050.

Of course, the highlight is the $1,050 buy-in Event #189 $1,500,000 Main Event at 18:00. At the same time, the $160 buy-in Event #190 $250,000 Mini Min Event will kick off. Two hours later the $109 buy-in Event #196 $30,000 Turbo Main gets underway, and an hour after that the final tournament of the XL Inferno – the $75 buy-in Event #197 $15,000 Super Turbo Main Event – will give players their last opportunity to capture a title.

I've recorded video of UncleSahar scripting. Please have a look and pass it to the relevant department. He is on the table at the top of the video. Please notice how fast he is with sitting and clicking "Ok" on buy-in window. It can't be done so fast without special tool. Better to watch it full screen.

UncleSahar, i want you to know that i will record as much video as needed for you to be banned with all funds confiscation.

lol, someone hacked your account to play the the exact same games you play but only at a higher buyin level after you had a big score. totally makes sens LOL

It looks like the hacker tried to make the chip dump look natural to the security team (as if the account owner moved up himself) but failed - the 888 team noticed the dump.

The fact of the dump has shown a vulnerability that exists because of the (I suspect) 'first come, first served' seating algorithm of Blast. It's way too easy for criminals (the hacker and the recipient of the dump) to sit into the same Blast tournament by clicking the registration button at the same time.

So it's logical to suspect a hack.

Hello,

The final day of the $7,500,000 XL Inferno Championships was a record-breaking one as the $1,050 Main Event achieved the largest prize pool in 888poker history!
The XL Inferno Main Event provided a staggering $1,755,000 prize-pool!

It was a fitting way to end our most profitable, longest series to date, one that encompassed 197 events over two weeks.

Among the XL Inferno’s other achievements was last Tuesday’s highest buy-in tournament ever held on 888Poker with the $5,200 buy-in High Roller, which generated an $810,000 Prize pool and helped donating $50,000 to charity through ‘REG’.
