well i guess it's a right move, why not letting online degens to come out of the shades and hustle with each other in the overly bright casino lights, why not let the dudes actually hear the cursing instead of having to strain their eyes reading the pleasantries in the chat window?

Posted by pinotte: 888poker being the second largest poker site did not came there with their software which IMO is one of the worst in the market.
I agree with you,last month I can not place a bet from their lobby.And this month,new software for Romania,a lot of fuss,and big surprise ,I can not access lobby.Error message oker.exe- Entry point not found (The procedure entry point_except_handler4_common could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll. )Do you know how to solve this error?
but I do not like 888 ... like everything is very crooked and a lot of people (which for me is very strange) I tried several times to napyti 888 in which the advantages for himself but apparently it's just not my site ... nothing I have against those who like it

It is always good organizing live events. And event like this one with low buy ins, gives the chance to more players, trying something new, since the majority of the players are playing online only. I havent heard any of the big players with the bounty on their head

Live poker by an online provider...... Whatever next? Online poker by a live poker provider? I think they may just have it? Why not get all of us home poker dwellers to leave our homes and get public transport to a live venue and play as badly in a live setting as we do in our bedrooms or bathrooms with our laptops.

Another unique promotional offer from 888.com! Many online gaming sites find themselves in a mature or saturated market. With a mature market there are no more demographic sectors to exploit, therefore, the only way to increase market share is to take it from competitors.

On a more serious note, I am absolutely gutted that I am unable to make the first one of these during October as I am not in UK at that time. Such bad planning.... But I don't ink my family will allow me to,cancel our trip simply to play a live poker game..... Assuming I qualified or paid up for it..... Such an unfair life!
