Well I think it's a great move. I hated tribeca (PPP). I mean really hated it.

This is a major improvement. It's faster. A much better interface (try it for a while).

And OMFG it's fishy. Maybe I hated tribeca so much I couldn't stick around to notice but the .05/1 is unreal. unreal.

As a Party Poker refugee stranded on Full Tilt I'm not sure I'll go back to cash games there. At the very least I'm going to hang around here to confirm things. (like the unbelievable fishyness)

If I like it this much in a week I'll look at GJP of course for a long term move over.

Well done all involved:D

where the trumpet calling me to the start of my tourney?

Mike you gotta get the trumpet back, it rocked.

WH BONNEY · 07-03-2007 12:15AM

No, I wasnt suggesting you were try to hide anything I just taught your resonse was O.T.T. with your positive view point. Then again if I were in your shoes I would do the same.

Ignore me, maybe I should just give it more time.

few things I've noticed that have annoied me immediately.

Who is ever going to use full screen mode?
When you click to see the overall status of a tournament if reverts back to the main "lobby" area not the table.
What's the point of the dealer image, why not make the dealer button bigger?
It seems slower that the old client.
It repeats in the top left everything that's in the title bar.
Why can't they have your best hand where your folded cards are?
What's with the carpet and wooden floor?
Where's my buddy list gone?

My biggest gripe is that the quick keys are missing, I for 1 found these keys very useful, but there might be a setting somewhere for them.

The client itself is also a bit of a memory hog.

Otherwise, it's fine

Just seems they have gone more for show on the table image...

when checking tourny status, just click status, there is info there that pops str8 up, its also easy to read.

Avatars are way to big, i prefer the old tribeca avatars but fuk it, its only an avatar, once your making a profit at the end of the day.

just ive been typing ive got dc .. 2nd time 2nite.. a problem with connecting to gaming server?...

LMFAO

Id never have gueseed you own a skin on this site.

Sorry shortstack but im calling a spade a spade its fcuking awful.

Play on the tables for a few hours, you'll get used to it.

I originally hated the new software, but if we had played on Playtech for years and were suddenly given Tribeca there would be absolute mayhem.. It is definitely better. Tribeca had a cleaner table and clearer buttons, however that was it's ONLY positive. I've gotten used to 4 tabling over the last 4 hrs. My three main concerns are the size of the cards/chips in the mini view, the delay in updating the status of the cash tables (5/6 etc), and the stupid blackjack button.

a-k-47 · 07-03-2007 01:11AM

i dont have the blackjack button

I've discovered that, it's really good, it's actually something I like about the site

a-k-47 · 07-03-2007 01:49AM

whats this VIP cash all about

gilmour · 07-03-2007 01:50AM

im a pretty low stakes cash player and ive noticed a strange and constant love/fetish for minraising/minreraising in both the cash games and tournys by the vast majority of players ive come across so far at playtech. Would the sliding bar issue have anything to do with this? (ie people being too lazy to find the right raise/reraise or is it just awful play - i think its the latter but surely the volume of players cannot possibly be this bad?)

a-k-47 · 07-03-2007 01:59AM

i think the slider bar is playing a part in this non sense

phantom_lord · 07-03-2007 02:17AM

I have to say, I actually like the software.

DeadParrot · 07-03-2007 02:23AM

is it just me or does anyone else not have the blackjack/roulette buttons?
not that complaining btw

phantom_lord · 07-03-2007 02:32AM

lol, just got c/minraised on two streets by a donk, who then just shoved the river, standard is awful!

DeadParrot · 07-03-2007 02:42AM

tripled up my buyin at .25/.5 getting a feel for the software in about 60 hands...some rubbish players

that said I did donk off my .25/.50 omaha buying multitabling (a first for me

)
shortcut keys would be a godsend

slians · 07-03-2007 05:34AM

Anyone know how to make pokertracker recognize the difference between 6max, heads up and full ring tables?

problems connecting to gaming server are firewall (norton etc) issues

Dey were Sooted · 07-03-2007 10:03AM

I've played now for a few hours and I'm liking the new tourneys/sng's and blind structures . Am finding more fish too : ) but I do miss the "hot keys" as I don't like reaching for the mouse everytime I wanna fold

Also the table doesn't pop to the front (if you are working on something else Tch Tch)when it's your move . All in all I know it will take a while to get used to ,and hopefully our suggestions will be listened to and implimented in the future .

Also does anyone know about the players notes - I'm travelling at the moment and save the pnt file to a portable HD but with the new software the "Players Notes " file is not kept in "my documents" ?I've done a search and no use either . Any help would be welcome .

ianmc38 · 07-03-2007 10:49AM

By the end of the evening yesterday it was becoming usable. Horrific, but usable (and most importantly profitable).

Why is the poker currency dollars when this is a European only network now?
Is it so people can get done on the conversion rates or something?

I think its because the $ became the currency of poker at an early stage.
Also because the $ has less of a value than Euro or £, the sites will like to use it for advertising purposes, e.g., the One Million Dollar Guaranteed tourney sounds better than its Euro equivalent.

What he said like

The network has always been in $. We do not trade in currencies.

The thing that most annoys me is the colour of the action buttons. It would be better if they were a different colour than the awaiting action options. It's particularly frustrating when multi tabling as sometimes you do not realise the action is on you.

Do I win a prize for using the word action in every sentence?

Lol I'm sure there have been gayer(sorry) ones like: he came over the top of me etc.

I found the whole thing very slow and well boring (Back on topic not the gay thing), the tourney list was awkward, couldn't find the 'tourney payout', was very hard to get used to the small tables, the slider was awkward, I was very dissapointed. I have never played anything other than tribeca, how does it compare to stars,ft etc?

ianmc38 · 07-03-2007 02:48PM

I actually found the slider easy enough to use. Just a pain in the ass.
