WTF is going on with APAT tournies on 888? - wish there was some consistency. Had a decision to make with AA against a river raise for a massive pot - timed out after 20 seconds. Thought the timebank issue had been fixed ffs.  Other guy showed JJ. Come on 888 - sort it out will ya.

ended up having to make a short stack shove way too early and lost the race. Should have been sat comfortable with 20k+ after the AA v JJ cock up.

cheers 888 - one screwed up tourney.  At least advertise that there is no timebank in the lobby.

sorry, but just really poor.

Looks like the main event has already gone from the lobby, so will have to wait for the report to come through from 888, unless anyone has a screenshot of the final result.

Yeah, disappeared the second it finished which was really wierd, as seen as the PLO was still there. Also 888 seems to have a few problems,

1. Really needs a timebank.

2. Really need brreaks in a tourney.

3. For some reason had 2 hands dealt where i could only see one hole card........ wierd ?!?

Ty all for the support, bottled at the end but couldn"t have gone to a worthier opponent and a lucky fish ;-)

Leigh - is there any feedback about the complaints around the lack of timebank? Seems a silly oversight, particularly when coupled with the lack of breaks.

i think leigh will be still waiting for the poker team at 888 to get back to him as they take at least 2 months to get back to any email you send them or the just dont bother at all
