brael Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Just had a first crack at this with Pacific Poker... was bored since I wasn't playing in the Telegraph FF Final! :cry Would have to say that the experience was truly awful. 2698 people registered and there were just over 800 left at the break. During the first hour I didn't win a single hand... the cards dealt stank beyond belief! :zzz I finished 677th having won 1 hand. I'd reckon, on average, that 8 players saw the flop so you can imagine some of the hands producing winners and the length of time it took to get round the board. If I go back for another shot at this then I think I'll be calling everything I'm dealt! It's probably the only way of staying in the game! :wall For anyone that's interested, there's qualifying rounds every night at 8:00pm and 8.30pm BST. The final is on 6 October at 8.30 PM BST where you could win a seat at the 888.com UK Open final. I didn't think I'd be eligible to enter as I'd already installed the software. The first time I tried to enter, it rejected my registration but it didn't tonight... although I'm wishing it had! :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Quiet Man Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Re: The Sun Restricted Freeroll Tournament After seeing the advertisement in the Sun I installed Pacific Poker on Thursday and had a shot at the 8.30pm tourney. There's no chance of me playing there again and it was uninstalled at 10pm that same day.:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Quiet Man Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Re: The Sun Restricted Freeroll Tournament Hi IMA, First impressions were very negative - I didn't like the graphics, the preferences and options buttons failed to improve that. Because the tourney was advertised in the Sun I found it very difficult to 'read' any hands as almost everyone was calling before the flop, possibly the 1st online attempt by many. Raising made no difference as the majority still threw their chips in determined to see the flop. There also appeared to be too many 'village idiots' who were there mainly to write obscenities in the chat box - most likely kids. And to cap it all, I had the nuts flush and whilst I was deciding how much chips I could extract from my remaining 3 opponents, I got timed out!:@ I'm sure there are millions of people that enjoy this site but I won't be one of them.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Re: The Sun Restricted Freeroll Tournament From what I can gather, Pacific Poker has a very poor reputation and you are not the only one who feels like this....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brael Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 Re: The Sun Restricted Freeroll Tournament The program is terrible... I thought the warning buzz telling you that it's your turn was the battery on my mobile phone running out! I've attempted to withdraw prize winnings of $6.00 tonight... it will be interesting to see how long it takes to hit my bank account! :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philossify Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Re: The Sun Restricted Freeroll Tournament I've qualified (I think) for tomorrows sun freeroll final - but like rest of you the software sucks. As soon as the final is over (which I think will be a bit of a raffle) then it gets uninstalled, unless I win one of the big prizes in which case I'll leave it around as it would be impolite to erase it before getting the prize..... :hope , luckily I resisted the urge to put any money in the account - although to be fair they did give me $5 straight up.
