Example:  Someone was sitting with 43 points worth of chips.  He made Fantasy Land and won 38 points total from his two opponents.  Since the best you can do is double up on any given hand, and FL counts as part of the same hand as the one that qualified you for it, he only has 5 points left to win.  We play the FL round and he wins his 5 points.  Then he says "there must be a glitch, I should have won 30+ points there", and leaves.

Many players still don't understand the action points in OFC.  They play with a short stack, and if they hit fantasyland, they have very little action left.  They win much less than they think they are supposed to, and think it's a software glitch.  As a result, these players may stop playing, and that's bad for the games.

Perhaps there could be a pop-up briefly explaining that you can't win more than your starting stack on any given hand, and that fantasyland counts as part of the same hand that qualified for it.   This can show when someone joins a Chinese table, and of course a check box to stop showing the message to those who have seen it.

I'll take the over.

Why can't you respect the fact that the owners of this site wish to remain private?

Don't play there if you don't like it.

I'm going to speculate that he was just trolling Jenny Larsen in that conversation, or just trying to get information on Lock's financial status.  He did have a radio show at the time and could have been looking for material.

That worked, updated my bookmark, thanks!

The most coveted card in poker!

It was a rewards program on top of the 27% rakeback we were getting.

Basically you earn 1 point for each dollar of rake paid for each hand you were dealt into, or 7 points for each dollar of tournament rake.

To earn the top tier (Iron) for that month, you had to earn 200 points per day for 25 days, while other tiers could be earned with less play:



The medals bonus you got depended on how many months in a row you earned the status:



Medals could be used to buy cash bonuses or other items in the Iron Man store.  There were also bonus medals if you got over 500, 1000, etc. points in a day.

The details aren't that important, it's just the idea of having something to shoot for by playing almost every day.

Obviously connectivity would need to be super solid before initiating a program like this.

Yes, this.  I always made sure I played just enough to get Iron every month, always checking that calendar too.  It was just the right amount of play for me to shoot for after work, and allowed for a few days off a month.

I do think affiliates can play a big role.  But what we really need is not the type of affiliate who is going to stick a link in their signature on a bitcoin site, but one who will actively recruit players who have never used bitcoin at all.  They can hand-hold their players through the process of getting set up with an exchange, setting up an intermediary wallet and backing it up, and the ins and outs of safely moving bitcoins around.  This is a tougher sell than the old days of hand-holding people through the process of getting Neteller and connecting it to their bank accounts to deposit on Party Poker circa 2004, so it needs to be more rewarding for the affiliate.  More ambitious affiliates can sell bitcoins directly to their players, and take a little commission there.  This would be a good way for a winning player to make some money on the side and convert their excess bitcoin to cash without going through an exchange.

Yes, totally agree!

Withdrawing should require Google Authenticate, for those of us who have it enabled.  Just requiring the password is not secure enough.

Good old cookie cutter tract housing.  I wouldn't pay that squatter one dime.

I got a nasty bug that happened yesterday and today.  Not sure if this is how it happened yesterday, but today it happened exactly as I was about to enter my timebank in FL.  A bunch of exception windows kept opening, and I rushed to kill the task and was able to log back in and finish the hand.

I also cannot log in.  Is this a google authenticator issue?  (I use it, maybe all the people who are logged in do not use it)

Maybe consider making a weekly or monthly volume promotion that is based on number of hands played only.  This way people can grind it at the nanostakes, and fill up the cash tables from the bottom up.

Or do something like the old FTP iron man.  Small amounts of krill per day, but you have to play a lot of days each month.

Wow, all clear to change the Krill roll promos, lol

You might get flogged by donk4u, but I agree.  Give people an incentive to put real money in play.  The site needs activity, and should not feel obligated by prior promotions from the old Seals.  What good would it do to try and keep those if the result is the site cannot sustain itself?
