Has anyone played here? I jumped on and found it interesting enough to deposit $50 and check out the play.

I'll give you a report when I know what I'm talking about.
I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

OK, I haven't been there long. And I may be wrong about some of these things. And I'll add/edit this as I learn about new things.

But here is what I can see they are missing.
- "Fold to Any Bet" Button
- Tournament Lobby (this is really important to me)
- 4 Color deck option
- Good bonuses
- Lots of games (They only have Omaha, Omaha8 and Holdem)
- Good blind structure (blinds .10/.20 on a max buy in $40 NL table)

And what they have
- Loose players
- Lots of low stakes tournaments
- Very quick blinds*
- A lot of tournament, SnG and MTT
- Kinda clumsy setup.

*They offer a lot of turbos. The heads up turbo tournament has the blinds go up every minute. In SnGs the blinds go up every 8 min. On the turbos the blinds increase every 3 min.

I am brand new here, thought I would share this.
I had a horrible experience with customer service. I withdrew my money within one hour of depositing my money.

I cleared about 6.6k of the 10k required and cashed out to do some other bonuses. I should re-deposit and finish it.

I played for a while. It's pretty tough to get 10K. I think I only cleared about 1K through about 1,000 hands.

it's not worth it

you have better luck clearing some other pokersite's bonus or even playing that much time on a site where you have a rake back deal
and then buying the damn SS2 with that money

I played here, I got 2.5x the action points needed for SS2 playing the $1/$2 limit tables about 2 or less hours a day in about 2 weeks, so it should take less than a week to reach the 10,000 action points required. Just a fair warning though, cashouts at this place take 2-3 days for you impatient people

I think that each cent contributed to the rake counts as 1 action point, im not quite sure though.. So if you had a pot raked $1, it would be 100 action points... once again, im not COMPLETELY sure =)
Goal for 2005: $30k
So far: $31k
