Clock Moan!!
Why is when you go to register for a tournament with less than 30 secs remaining on the clock to register ..... you click to enter and the a box tells me,
FAILED TO REGISTER TOURNAMENT HAS STARTED ..
It hasn't the clock is still running down !! lol

It must have something to do with the Moon, reflecting the sunlight onto the oceans ... abit like how the tide works with the beach. keeps coming in, then going out again ? ??
Most other sites do it, Just allow 5 minutes late entrants and job done.
Won't work on all tourneys as the Russian Roulletes are usually over by this time! But you get the drift.
I was reminded of it last night, when I had to revert to IE for various reasons, & the "lag" suddenly re-appeared.
I just try & Register a little earlier, it's not a problem then.
When joining a cash table, the clock ticks down before you buy in. When it gets to 4 seconds, thats it, also, which is very strange, and happened quite a few times, the clock doesnt even count down....it counts up, work that one out lol.
and I use firefox
Not a fan myself but I assume there will be a mixture of rebuy and freezeouts on the site.
This ultimately increases our options and should suit a lot more players.
I don't mind the idea of a single rebuy as anyone can get their chips in good and hit a suck out, so nothing wrong with a second bite at the cherry. Multiple rebuys start to give things a lottery feel.
Trust me when I tell you, live can be a lot worse....
Hopefully, there will be tournament types to suit all sorts and pockets and the odd limited rebuy is not too bad.
I don't feel the bounty hunter would be suitable for a rebuy format either. But a normal tournament would benefit from a single rebuy option.
Also if people want the high risk multiple rebuy games, then something should be here to cater for those players too.
This gives players who play in single or no rebuys an edge when the multi rebuying player tries there hand at that type of game as the multi rebuy mentality can be hard to shift.
Most rebuys too are limited to the first hour, but some people can reload 10 times in that time. It creates a huge gap between chip leaders and steady solid players by the end of the rebuy time, Thus making cashing for those who are careful much harder.
I have played many, many single rebuy games, granted all of them live.
It's quite good, we used to have one locally which was a single reload equivalent to half the value of your original buy in. At the end of the first hour, you could also choose to top up whether you needed it or not.
Never played them online though as I always steer clear of any online game offering rebuys. Like I say they are not for me but anything that increases the footfall of the site is ultimately for all our benefits.
I very often see the same names in most games I play and as such, know their plays and I'm sure they know mine. New faces, in whatever shape, are always going to benefit the regular player.
In case my point about Rebuys was misinterpreted.
1) They ARE coming. I assume, but don't know, that the functionality will include both Single Rebuys & Unlimited Rebuys.
2) Personally, I don't enjoy them, & I'm unlikely to play many. I never - EVER - play them live, because I feel they create an uneven playing field, & the better-rolled Players have an advantage. And that, in my mind, is wrong - we should all have an equal chance. I once played a £100 Omaha Rebuy, & Jac Arama had 23 Rebuys. Tell me that's fair. But he did create value for everyone else - & he was the first Player to Exit post-freeze!
But many players love them, so the choice will, be there - it's up to us whether we play them or not. There will always be a choice of Rebuys & Freezeouits, so it's something for everyone. And I don't begrudge them to the Rebuy lovers, not at all. I'll do my thing, & they can do theirs, which is coolio.
however I'm late I'm late for a very important date.....no time to stop ..hello goodbye .. I'm late I'm late I'm late !
Keep hearing that about omaha, stud, rebuys, etc etc.
I'll believe it when i see it!
