888 Site - General Discusssion
« on: March 09, 2011, 22:47:35 PM »
Until the official board comes...

Anyway, thoughts? First glances (for 4 years, last deposit on there was Feb 2007!) was that it wasn"t what I remembered.

Tourneys: No antes in some bigger comps worries me slightly. Plus points for late reg. Plus points for guaranteed tournaments. Looks ok if a bit on the slow side.

STTs: Lots of choice. Good for single table guys. MTTSNGs? Nope. Weak at best.

Cash: Wow. Video tables????? Video tables? That is awesome just weird. Although a 6 max APAT cash game on one of these would be pretty funny.

look out for some of the regular evening tournies - hugely soft and great value..... particularly the Daily Challenge tournies - if I remember correctly, there is usually some overlay in these.

The holding tank closes on the 20th to give 888poker a week to get the money to the casino.  Same as last year.  Give them a chance to set them up please.

Thats what i was thinking Rob, theres tons of young english players right now who wont get a look in for sponsorship because fish havent heard of them, so they go for gimmicky Warney.

just had a look in the STT lobby and they have a very interesting concept called "final table simulation"

players start with 40K. blinds are 1K/2K/200.

top 9 get paid though only top 3 make a profit.

no takers though

How long should it take for the Free £5 email to arrive?

Minutes or Hours?

(if it"s minutes then something is amiss...)
