I suspect it may be a case of being patient with the dealers, especially with Razz.
If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

Correct.  This will be the first Razz event in the UK that I"m aware of and the Vic have been very efficient in their preparation for the event.  Pages of questions have been asked and answered (mostly on our behalf by resident expert JonMW) and they are taking the side events very seriously.  But it will be a first for those dealers in a live environment.

I assume they know that they are going to need some "5" chips for the antes in the 1st few rounds?

So I guess this means I didn"t get in?

I have a Nationwide Visa Debit Card... First attempt I tried Delta - I got a message tellig me it didn"t like the card details!! I then tried Maestro - and got the an error screen with the following message...

TEMPORARY FAULT

A temporary problem has prevented your payment from continuing.

Problems can occasionally arise for a number of reasons including:

Scheduled essential maintenance
Random security checks
Temporary network or server access problems
National banking network outages
Our engineers have been notified and will investigate as soon as possible.


Des,

Can you tell me if my payment went through or not?

Thanks,
Alan


It didn"t go through that I can see Alan.  We still have around 25 seats left and I will hold off from sending an email out about them until tomorrow evening - if they don"t sell out prior.  If there is a problem on the payment provider side, they normally fix extremely quickly.  I am not aware of any specific issues, although a slightly higher than normal number of transactions do appear to have failed this evening.


Well, I finally got a payment accepted! I had to use Electron as the card type... wtf!
...



Does anybody mind if I point out that I highlighted this problem at lunch time today - here
