Hurry up please - i am bored so i went on facebook poker and jesus what a pile of ..that is. If anyone ever complains about bingo players on this site then i suggest they spend just 10 minutes on the ...
It is basically every.. that has ever been alowed to pick up a playing card all gathered in one place

AA beaten by 3 6 off suit, AQ suited beaten by 9 3 off suit. The list goes on and on, it is impossible to get anyone off the pot until the river card is dealt - whats the point, what enjoyment can you get out of call, call, call - wheres the stategy? wheres the game? wheres the brain.

Do you know what, this site is better when its not working than that one is when it is

BlackLava,

Thanks for the initial information and the subsequent updates.

As frustrating as it may be for members/players I am sure it is much more frustrating and of vital importance to you. For us it is just a past-time while for you it is much more and it behoves us ( as members) to remember that when issues such as this arise.

Thanks for your efforts in this matter and your constant efforts and energy directed to the site.

yes i understand all the work LAVA puts in i just wondering y this happens here this often & why it always just the poker part? my brother plays on another part of our "network" & as with the other times he has been playing for hours. y do they always come back up b4 us by hours? DONT GET ME WRONG I LOVE THIS SITE but as some1 who plays on real side as well as occasionally free side this scares & frustrates me !! LAVA i appreciate you you have the best site by far on the web except for the repeated down time plz have them fix this right even if it means we down longer if it means this wont be repeated anymore!

[cheeky12345]

Thank you for the information and responses.This is helpfull,reasuring and greatly appreciated by all of us members (i hope).

We know you can not predict all downtime,especailly because you and your team are not in control of the network or their server. But to me this sounded planned/scheduelled.
So,if a switch of servers/ hardware/ software/ IP change/ security udgrade/ maintenance/ ect is required, and it is planned, can we get some sort of heads-up about potential foreseen downtime?
This could save you some effort in explanations and it cant be nice for you to read posts of dissatisfaction during these downtime.
Thank you again

lfc that is not the case as i said my brother plays on another part of this network & they are not down as with the last several times it is only OP66 that is down& ONLY THE POKER PART as usual everything else working! my brother is in phillipines & when he dont see me on tables he will call & say what you down again? that what i dont understand it not an network problem it as last time an op66 problem & as a part time real player it scares me! I HAVE SAID MY PEACE & YOU WONT HEAR FROM ME ON THIS MATTER AGAIN I DONT WANT 2 CHANGE SITES I LOVE THIS SITE BUT I LOVE 2 PLAY POKER 2 PLZ FIX IT RIGHT THIS TIME SO WE CAN PLAY POKER WITH THE REST OF THE "NETWORK"

Blacklava's posts make me think that it was the main server that was blocking his server from connecting to the network because of the Dos thingy that OP66 has,i didnt think the other sites had that technology to stop hackers.
Does that sound about right to everybody else or am i completely wrong?
If i am completely wrong then anybody who answers could be wasting their time in explaining it to my tiny lil mind lol
