888 just closed when I had 3 tables up and won't reopen until updates are finished. Are you kidding me? Fix this bull****

how is it possible that you keep making the software worse with each update? Seriously wtf

Tables closing on a regular basis since updates and unable to use gold coins because you can't scroll down to the bottom where you need to confirm purchase.

Is there a reason tournaments that so long on 888 to make the money? Most of these tournaments compared to stars and party take much longer to be in the money. The other thing is the tournaments on 888 seem to start much later than on stars and partypoker. Are there any plays to change this? I mean, lot of these tournaments start much later and also end much later than stars and party.

Whats the best value thing to spend gold coins on?

There's nothing wrong with the MTT structure, if you prefer Stars or Party then just play there? Why would 888 need to change to be exactly like them. Variety is good

Hi rep,

Client instantly close itself when i switched from real money to play money.

How can i avoid this?

Thanks.

Please contact support@888poker.com giving them your poker user name and they will look into your issue for you.
Thanks!

The $88 buy-in, $20,000 GTD Sunday GREAT 8 attracted 222 players who rebought 96 times.

“SlyderS1” Weathers the Sunday Monsoon

The $55 buy-in, $15K GTD Sunday Monsoon surpassed its guarantee by drawing 240 players who rebought 69 times.

Uruguay’s Alex“komarolo222” Komaromi Victorious in Sunday Challenge

99% of the time when 888 tries to move me tables it just closes the entire client instead.

changelog of new software update?

Well these tournaments take a lot longer to be ITM. Do players like this? Like if you look at the big fish 33, its 15 minute levels and thus much longer to make the money. Also those deepstack tournaments like the starfish and catfish take 5 hours to make the money. Do players really enjoy it being this long to be itm?


The other thing is why do the tournaments on 888 start a lot later than on stars or partypoker? I would assume players probably would like it if the tournaments start a bit earlier?

No complaints with the structure nor the starting time of the tournies, as they said, variety is good.

also like to know the answer to this.

Hi, I've read some interesting comments and want some things cleared, does 888 allow huds?

888caption is indeed allowed and same for PT4.

HUD’s are not allowed in Snap.

But since PT4 and caption will not offer HUDs in Snap, there is no problem to use them.

Thank You!

Hi Rep,

I sent email but its been more than 48 hours and i haven't received any answer.

Thanks.

Dear Rep,

I received a reply from support, thanks.

I was told to uninstall. Now i am in these steps below:
1. Open ‘My Computer’ and click the C:\ hard drive icon.
2. Open the ‘Program Files’ folder.
3. Select the 888poker folder by right clicking.

I use windows 7 and i go to C:\Program Files but i couldn't find 888poker folder.
So, I go to C:\Program Files (x86) and i found PacificPoker folder. Could this be the one?

By the way, i wonder can equilab software be used while playing on 888poker?

Thank you.

Yes that should be the one.

I made a request to support for last months Hand History files, no reply yet.

Wondering if anybody has ever received Hand History files via email?

Uskebasi_1 is certainly using seating script or some kind of restricted software that gets him to the table. Please investigate it.

Are you serious?
