Thanks Bart, really appreciate the feedback.  i have downloaded and deposited....let you know how it goes Bart.

hi long time lurker first time poster
 

See you there!

Hi JJG,
Their webpage will probably become clearer nearer the time, so good idea to 'favourite' it and check back occasionally.
These types of tours often provide both online and live day 1's where you can choose whichever you prefer.
Double check this and also buyin requirement, Party have been known to occasionally require you to buyin via your online account rather than being able to buyin with cash on the day (there would be multiple holding tank tournaments set up, so make sure you pick the right day). I'd say it's also worth following Simon Trumper and/or Rob Yong on Facebook or twitter as DTD are notorious for changing formats/structures etc at the last minute or even after the tournament has already started in an attempt to meet guarantees.
Playing live is always a great buzz, I'm sure you'll love it

Helen/All,
Further email from Grosv confirming what I suggested to them 2 weeks ago, but previously ignored in all responses:


Will have to wait until I finally update my pc or laptop as will need Win10 to run. Know IE8 is no longer supported, but by not allowing back-compatibility and not yet having browser-non download running option like some MPN skins do, they're cutting out quite a significant proportion of their players.

Helen,
Might have to leave you to run with it for now, with Genting's also gone, no value elsewhere & a few real life issues I wont be pokering for a while.
Eventually got 2 emails back from Grosv, both many days after my email and utterly laughable, obviously scripted but totally unrelated to the issue at hand, despite me taking the trouble to send lots of screenshots. So much so that I've got a withdrawal for full balance going through via the website and told them to email me only when they've sorted out the software issue and/or they want me back. Not wasting anymore time over it.
My Balance also seemed slightly out, slightly larger, but the website stated that was the amount and it was all completely withdrawable, so that's what I've gone with and they will have to do the leg work and provide justification if they think it should be anything different.
For your info they suggested the following (but relates to their website, not software!), already tried this and many other googled settings numerous times and doesn't work for me:


The only other thing I can think of is that I can access their website via Firefox, but not via IE, which mentions invalid certificates. If so that's a Grosv issue and nothing to do with IE or local.
Already pointed out to Grosv that can log into other MPN (e.g. Stan James) without any issues and provided screenshots but they're not interested and just ignored them. So be it.
I actually think I'm more pissed off at the complete lack of communication pre-change, other sites always email in advance, but it's as if Grosv no longer care about poker. Even their download pics still show the old software.
I'm still super-loyal and supportive of Grosvenor and very appreciative of everything they've done for me personally, this forum and the poker community as a whole, but they seriously need to up their game and if they can't be bothered nor can I. 
 
 

This one totally missed me, no communication whatsoever and I'm also on their main PR/announcement distribution list in addition to normal player channels!
Tried, can't download, so that's now both Genting & Grosvenor I can't log into. Will try again when I regain the will to live or look to play properly again.
 

had a reply to my email ,they say they hope to have the problems resolved within the nexr 10 days . Not impressed

Good luck mate, good to see you back & grinding

Awaiting email as confirmation as forgot to take screenprint.

Short handed with KK is an obvious snap call, he behaved like a mooron and got what he deserved imo.
As for your 2nd scenario she's obviously an inexperienced poker player who didn't want to put her tournament life on the line. After all poker is about getting it in ahead and getting the maximum value out of every hand and considering a fold with AA there is obviously terrible.

Quick review of the trip.....the tournament was in Montecasino which is basically a poker only casino type place....seems to hold lots of poker tournaments - has the MPS series and the big WPT all there in next few weeks.  The poker room is located in a business suburb of Vienna (10-15mins on tube into city centre) in a 80's entertainment complex - has bowling alley, cinema, pool hall and numerous bars and restaurants to cater for most.  The poker room itself was fairly standard - had about 40 tournament tables and then another 10 or so cash tables.  The one and only major drawback is that people are allowed to smoke inside so being from UK where this is not allowed, the smoke is one of the first thing you notice and if you are sitting in there for 12hrs + it can be a problem.  The actual tournament was run very very well and other than the odd call to the floor I think things went very smoothly for them.  The start time is definitely a point to note - Day 1 started at 5pm and went on until 3.3am!  I can see why they do this as it enables them to run turbo satellites earlier in the day and also capture locals after work hours for the main event.  I am not totally sure how I feel about it as it enable me to do some sight seeing earlier in the day rather than have to write the day off if the start had been earlier.  Saying that I made it to the end of day1 and was very tired on day 2 at the 2pm start!  I know this is a hot topic for WSOP this year so it will be interesting to see what prevails in the poker world over the next year with start times.    All in all it was very well organised whole trip and 32red and Nick Diaz were very good at organising things - i.e they invited me to various different activities over the weekend when I wasn't playing.  If you do get a chance I would recommend Vienna as a poker destination, 32red poker as hosts and the MPNPT as decent low level tourney to play in.

ahh not 2 be still 80 live token aint bad thou ran a9 into kk was getting short stacked thks 4 railing bart
