a-k-47

StraddleFor6

Still no update. Nor on Blue Sq/GJP. How do you know they're updating the site AK?

a-k47. what is your source please?

hi everyone, long time reader here. ive just been speaking to a manager on bluesq who has said that this was an error on tribecca's behalf and it is in fact 3 in a row.

ocallagh

anyone else think this is ridiculous? I went back to Tribeca and lodged 650 for this... i know it was too good to be true in the first place but this has definitely put a lot of us out a bit. I changed my whole sleeping pattern so I was waking at 10pm today in time for 26hrs of poker

ocallagh

it also highlights the incompetence of all these poker sites. not one of the skins read the T's and C's. they just posted what Tribeca gave them without even questioning them!

Absolutely scandalous.

Like ocallagh, I changed my (admittedly not hectic) plans so that I could give this promotion the full 24 hours if necessary. I am, to say the least, enraged!

Goodluck2me

i reckon they meant to do it as advertised but realised by the sheer popularity of it that they would be well out of money if they did.

Yeah, one of their support goons told me they couldn't do it as publicised because there would be "tens of winners". He didn't admit that they had amended the Ts&Cs because of it though (as I too suspect), he claimed it was a "human error" at Tribeca's data entry point that was then transmitted to all skins.

and even though they noticed it, they still have not changed their terms and conditions. more people are probably lodging to Tribca skins as we speak!

after all, quoted from Manager Chat "we have the right to change our Terms and Conditions at any time"

played the 5k speed and cocked up out in 22nd so did the 2nd 4k speed game and finished 16th so 1 for 1 . this is still very achieveable. 1 user is on 2 for 2 now going for the 3 rd as soon as a 100 player min rebuy starts. PFFA is her name.

on another note i myself am very dissappointed and feel we have been shafted by tribeca as i had arranged things around this.

ocallagh

attempt 1: 00:00 $27 $5k GTD Rebuy Speed. 3rd from 150. money: +$960
attempt 2: 2:25am $18 $3.5k GTD Rebuy Speed. 67th from 180. money: -$95
attempt 3: 3:30am $27 $5k GTD Rebuy: 14th of 78 - shouldn't have played it because <100. money: - $54
attempt 4: 5:00am $36 $7k GTD Rebuy: currently playing: [edit: 6th after being CL on FT . AK v QQ for large pot. money: +280]
attempt 5: 8:00am $27 $2500 GTD Speed. starting in 1 hr. starting to get sick of MTTs!! [edit: only 50 runners and busted in 9th for loss of 81 - not the wisest investment]
attempt 6: 9:45am $0.25 $100 GTD Rebuy Speed. This is starting in 1 hr and should get +100 runners [edit: 212 runners and i got 15th. money: no idea. The next one is important. ]
attempt 7: 13:15 $20 $3000 GTD Rebuy. this got 99 runners . currently only 17 left and i have chips. so sick at this one. [edit:got 2nd in this one for $900]
attempt 8: 14:00 $20 $3500 GTD Rebuy. this got 135 runners and have average stack with 90 left. [edit busted in mid 50's]
attempt 9: 15:00 $20 $5000 GTD Rebuy. 2nd CL with 90 left from 193 starters [edit: horrible run of cards gone in 40th]
attempt 10: 16:00 $12 $5000 GTD Rebuy. starting now
this is very do-able

You know attempt 4 won't count ocallagh; only 72 runners.


I'm absolutely outraged by this farce also by the way.

yeah i know, presumed it would get +100

StraddleFor6

Most these tournaments do get 100+ runners on a daily basis. Wed night/Thurs morning I noticed a huge drop in the gtd rebuy tournies. All the big one's not even making the guarantee.
Same again tonight, despite this promotion. Where is everyone gone?

This is pretty bad on behalf of PPP. The PPP Pit Boss is not remiss to posting on boards. Perhaps ppl should start a thread asking for players concernes to be addressed. A good thorough explanation would be in order imo. The whole show stinks and shows a blatant lack of respect/disregard for customers on behalf of PPP.

El Stuntman

that is a thorough joke :eek:

get PPP Pit Boss on for a good ol' flaming....

Pushed every hand in the rebuy period. Ahead or behind, I lost every one. Gone already, lol. This 10k payday seems more distant every tournament.
Thought I had that 25c rebuy wrapped up.

i was in town last night, and left early to much derision (if thats how u spell it) to be home for the 12.45 game.................not a happy camper to say the least after hearing the "3 in a row" development.

not even gonna bother.

to me its clear that they did in fact realise, probably due a number of people calling to clarrify that it was as stated, that perhaps it was quite doable, and they would lose a few quid, then they suddenly pull out the rug, very bad form altogether.

Agreed, pathetic bs as always.

The more I hear and read about Paddy Power Poker - the less impressed I am. I am sure PPP pitboss will eventually come on here in ultra - defensive mode, explaining exactly why we are all idiots and this was crystal clear right from the off. Whatever. Having anything to do with that online pokerroom is negative EV.

bops

i wouldnt blame ppp - im sure its network-wide


wan*ers!! (me tired!)

a-k-47

i like ppp, just hate tribeca software.... will the rng be changing with this merge?

Did PFFA manage to do it? Or anyone else so far?

No need to blame PPP, not their fault.

i thought ppp had 2 in a row? nearly had 3 only for the midnight one no?????

StraddleFor6

All in 3 ways with AA in $1 speed against K10 and K7 with 40 left. No good. This is so frustrating.
