Zoo Chat - November - Random posts go here
 

Please feel free to use this thread to post quick questions, make suggestions, ask if FTP/Stars/etc is down again, give off-topic information, tell jokes, refer others to good threads in other forums, etc, etc, especially if you don't think it's worth making a new thread for a simple question or comment.

There's a link to it in the top sticky so you can find it easily at any time.

Thanks.

im a NL100 reg at iPoker. Have been for the past 6 months. yesterday they launched a web shop. According to my calculations I'd have to play for 3 years regularly (NL100) to get a Nintendo Wii. [censored] this.

I played an ongame tourney 2 years ago - some stupid $2 rebuy tourney

so it gets down to like 33 players, and ongame goes down - it's down and down and down for nearly 3 hours. I keep looking back cause I wanted to win this [censored].

finally ongame resumes, and all of the tournaments are resuming from where they stopped. so I get my seat and notice that everyone is sitting out, presumably because they had given up trying to get back on.

I proceed to steal blinds as fast as I could (raise raise raise raise etc.) and knock out person after person. not one person ended up coming back.

I end up getting first for $1600 and change - so now I'm freaked out that I'm not getting this cashish. so I look at PokerRoom's T&Cs and vaguely they mention (not verbatim):

"in case of software or connection issue, all tournaments will be temporarily halted until the issue has been resolved. all tournaments that are subsequently cancelled will be paid out according to the following formula...etc."

meaning that, if the tourney is restarted, the payouts will remain the same, with no refunds or splitting of prize pool.

the $1600 hit NETeller the next day.

and, fwiw, I don't think that "xxxx site is down" threads should be relegated to the monkey thread

Haha, that sounds like the trailer to the 'I am legend' movie. After the final table starts you will realize that your opponents are really monsters! bwhahahaha!!

Re: Zoo Chat - November - Random posts go here
 

Usually such threads consist of:

"Is site down for everyone or just me?"

"Yes."

"Which?"

"Not for me."

"It's back up."

"kmthx"

You forgot:

"I'm in the middle of MTT x, what happens now?"

Someone quotes T&Cs

"I'm in the middle of SNG x, what happens now?"

Re: Zoo Chat - November - Random posts go here
 

So does anyone know of any site currently down and what they will do about it?


More serious and on another topic- Mike, without revealing anything you shouldn't can you give a generic answer as to whether sillysal's issue is still being resolved or has been?

If you can't you can't.

It just seems weird that thread hibernated the way it did.

I think I edited it...can't remember

are they unlimited 10x? reputable?

Re: Zoo Chat - November - Random posts go here
 

I've never played there. Somehow I thought they also had an unlimited 7 or 8x, but I could be wrong.

Re: Zoo Chat - November - Random posts go here
 

Ahhh...I almost forgot, my hand swap partner for this month told me PokerLoco also has a continuous 7x.

No. It did go down for a second time about 6-7 hours ago, though.

The latest e-mail I received was from a consultant hired by FTP to review every aspect of the case. He stated that they have now, after receiving his report, concluded finally all investigations and that, basically, the initial verdict and punishment stands. The case is closed. He recommended to FTP that they redistribute the seized funds to the victims.

Re: Zoo Chat - November - Random posts go here
 

Bump.

Just want to say kudos to Full Tilt for disqualifying a recent 750K winner for apparent selling of his account when he got deep in the event to a well known mtt player (imperium/sorel mizzi).

I didn't want to start a new thread on it in the zoo at this point since it is still in the early stages and the discussion is alive in other forums here, however I thought it was worth a mention since we tend to bash FT on some issues.

They deserve fair play when they catch something like this.
