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?

I think the problem that gets highlighted specifically to do with ipoker is that these problems can arise on ipoker because you"re lacking system memory, and they could be connected with your ISP - but, on other sites with the same system memory and the same ISP they don"t happen.
I think the emphasis should be on ipoker to make their system more effective and efficient rather than on their users to make changes to compensate for this network"s deficiencies.

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.

I have had intermittent problems with ipoker as well, although none last night.
I have certainly had the situation where I had raised pre-flop with AA, the bet was shown in the chat and graphcally on the table... the software then froze for 20-30 secs and when it started again I had folded - still pre-flop!! >:(
APAT:
It always concerns me to see see a thread of this kind, because I genuinely do not like to see any of our members unhappy with their APAT experience.
There are two queries here I guess, one relating to iPoker and one relating to the standard of play.
The iPoker one I will refer to our partners at Blue Square and feedback on their thoughts.
The standard of play query is in some respects more difficult. I was unable to watch last night as I was away all day but I have viewed many tables online this season and have found the atmosphere very jovial and the quality of play very good. As you would expect, the standard of play will become more variable as we grow. But I also think that as people begin to get to know one another under their new BSQ player ids, that quality play will come to the fore again. I do know that we are appealing to new players as an organisation, so we should not disuade them from joining. Please also bear in mind that fishy, aggressive moves are seen at WSOP, WPT and EPT events too - it"s part of the game, and there were plenty of them made during Season One!
I think there is a real danger that each tournament takes too long now. That may also increase the number of players who; while wanting to take part, have no real ambition to be around past midnight, impacting their game strategy.
But thanks for the post and I hope that you can have some more positive experiences in online games with us going forward.

I play differently on a Thursday than a Saturday because of the length of the game. Does this make me a bad player? I will call/raise with a much wider range of hands hoping to get chips earl, not wanting to play for 5 hours then bubble. The Thursday game should be given some thought about the starting chips and structure but keep the Saturday as it is
Any thoughts?

Hi
I totally agree with you Blue Square poker site suffers from a lot of connection problems. I lost a few hands which i would have won and was folded by timeouts. I play ladbrokes poker and have never had a single connection problem. It has nothing to do with my Pc as it is a brand new top of the range laptop with 2Gb of Ram.
