Welcome to the Sunday crash! Seriously is Lock ever going to do anything they've said they will? This is getting really old!

still down?

fffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu udddddddddddddddddddddddddddggggggggggggggggggeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeee

They are by far the most unstable and unprofessional network around. It's sad that black chip can't get down a decent schedule to give revolution network a better run for its money. Even though their software is terrible as well at least their server doesn't crash if it has over 5000 people logged in.

So is the site crashing on Sunday afternoon just going to be a regular occurrence every week from now on?!?! I mean how can you not handle 5-8k players on your server? What a joke this network has become.

Stinks that one of the best brands (Intertops) cant make its own premiere network and run all these lackluster ones out of business.

What the Ffffffffffffffffff***ck men ??????????? Seriously ? I was leading on the 10,000 GTD ?? ..... I am so pissed, Intertops pls fix ur **** right !!!!!!!!!!! I hope one day there will be a site where we can enjoy stress free bull****** !!!!

**** this bull****.

The cake software has sucked since I saw an ad for it in cardplayer magazine and thought it looked like a bad site then. Its very choppy and players can't choose their own pics. Back then the minimum withdrawal was 500 bucks, but they were not telling anyone. Might consider playing on this network after a software upgrade.

back up, but still laggy as f***

My freaking Iphone got better bandwidth ...It's just ridicules how "TOP SITES" are handling business ...... Total crap!

im not back up, have logged out and back in too, still completely frozen. anyone up? is the 100k frozen or running?

They froze tournaments so people don't get chipped down.

The conspiracy theorist in me is wondering how convienant these crashes are for the network.

They keep missing their 100k mark by quite a bit creating a massive overlay.

Makes you wonder how the prize cuts are made when they have to refund. Do they refund out of the full 100k so that overlay gets split up amonst their players since they just got screwed?

Or do they chop it based on how many participants were in the game thereby giving them immunity to the overlay and effectively still raking the game.

Just a thought.

Close out and log back in and it comes up as tournament paused.

They are in the middle of processing the cancellation payouts. So if you had a fat stack it's gone. GG Revolution got yo **** again!

common sense suggests, a) they are forgoing current rake revenue, b) they are forgoing future rake revenue from those who refuse to put up with this ongoing b.s.

a and b combined is likely to be way more than having to cover the overlay in the short-run.


What lock should have done ages ago, and shortly after they acquired formerly known Cake network is to go back to Cake 1.0 poker client while they are developing their new software. Instead they are being dumb and stubborn wasting resources on 2.0, without any clear or positive results.

Intertops Rep,
Is there any thought of switching networks? I would like to play at IT but the software and servers suck, and Lock is shady.

This is a joke ...... I was ruining so good on the 10k GTD! I need Intertops representative, to explain how do they proceed when you play 3 Tourneys ate the time, and you are in the top 10 players in all of them ( fat stack ) and site crushed ???

are they canceling SNGs too? i just wanna get off but dont really wanna get blinded out for 100 bucks..

Wowwwwwww Intertops really ?! I was one of cheap leader in the 10+1 - $10,000 GTD from 900 players (in fact there were 180 players remaining) and you just refunded my $10 ??????

I gotta quit that online shady business ....... and do some Live grind !

and now all my cash games are being disconnected

I don't really believe that to be the case. I was just speculating. They don't really have anyone to look over their back to determine how they do those payouts. Their regulations are fairly lax. There is no overseer.

Isn't this the 3rd Sunday in a row they have had to cancel tournaments? It's getting a little ridiculous. These disconnects in the short term could be saving them quite a bit of money when they consistently fall like 17.5k short. Is their 500$ major hitting its guarantee?

And honestly, they don't seem to be losing traffic. We Americans are just too damn desperate to play an available network. It's sad but true.

As I said before though i'm just playing devils advocate. It's not like poker companies have not done shady **** in the past or anything.

Personally, I don't think of it in terms of losing traffic, but in terms of how much more traffic they could have relative to what they have now, if only they got their **** together.

In terms of weekend crashes, it's been way way more than just 3, this has been an ongoing issue for many many months now.

Is there a way to view refunds for MTT's on Intertops?

Where would they go that US players can play? I don't want to see them move to WPN since there are already good sites to play on there but I guess it would be cool if they moved to Merge. That would give us a great, reputable network with their own cashier and P2P so all the stables could get back on Merge but with the gtds and the way Merge runs things I think the software would be the only good thing about that move.

This Sunday crashing crap is getting ridiculous though. I've gotten all my refunds and chip chops but still it's ridiculous. Lock just sucks so bad.
