APAt Has lost it
kinboshi:
I haven"t had any problems at all this evening. Can I ask some questions that might help diagnose the problem:
1. How much RAM does your computer have?
2. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)?
3. What other software have you got running at the same time as BlueSQ?
You"re not the only one to suffer from issues with the software. The others who"ve struggled with it have often only had 512KB of memory (or even less).
It could also be an issue with your ISP, but that"s more difficult to pin down.
Did anyone else have a problem tonight?
Fatbloke:
Computers fine and works ok on everything else. Even had Dell out to check it the other week. Currently have over 1 GB of space and only poker site i had on was blue square. Nothing else on apart from usual computer things, but other players had the same problems (making comments in chat box).
Fun elements gone im afraid, perhaps its the poker gods telling me to give up for a while !!
Had no other software running at the time and ISP is all done through BT.

How much memory have you got on it?
Right-click on "My Computer" and select "Properties" - it will tell you at the bottom of the that box.

APAT hasn"t lost it - fair play to you Des, you"ve put together a helluva schedule this year - but there are ALWAYS problems on the iPoker network - whether you play on Bluesquare, Betfred, or any of the others. They generally start off by blaming your ISP - Tiscali and Orange are cited as the worst because of the way they handle and balance the network traffic. But I have successfully got a refund of buyin out of Betfred when my connection (to them) went - no problem with my internet connection which was where they pointed the finger first, because I was quite happily able to access their website while unable to connect to their servers. You also get a lot of mini "freezes" - you call/raise (with a cracking hand, naturally :)) the call/raise action appears in the chat box, followed by the fact that you folded. Call/raise and fold at the same time? Clever, huh.
I"ve also been body-swerving iPoker due to the call-with-anything-i"m-bound-to-hit brigade, because they do, too often for it to be statistically justified. Pocket 8"s always seem to get trips (twice against me tonight as it happens, not that i"m bitter :-[), and the number of four flushes on the board giving your opponent his unbelievable out against your monster just crack you up. Was seeing a hell of a lot of flops with 2 2 2 or 10 10 10 before I retired to a safe distance too .....
As they say, just because I"m paranoid doesn"t mean everyone ISN"T out to get me ....
kinboshi:
Not being funny, but why doesn"t everyone have these problems? The iPoker software seems to be very heavily memory intensive - far more so than other poker rooms.
