Default Can't get through a game anymore

I used to have a great time one this site. But it has gotten so slow it has become all but impossible to play. Every time I get a decent hand it seems to freeze up before I can bet or call. Hit F5 and it folds you. I want to play with real $ but there is no way I'm going to do it when the slow site is harder to compete with that the other people playing. I have played with some great people on here in the past, if any of you read this thanks for the good games! I will stop by from time to time to see if it works again.

At first I thought it may be my laptop, but I tried to play on my computer at work today which is as fast as they get and it was the exact same thing.

Sure the site is having its problems right now, but I wouldn't suggest leaving the site. Just stick it out for a little longer, things will get better. Lava and the rest of the team are trying their hardest to get things fixed around here.

Yeah, same problem here. I will of course not leave the site, but nowadays I hesitate to join tourny's.

They are so slow and bugged on my end, they are almost unplayable.

Haven't played a tourney in a couple of days, enough to have the 5% take me below 500K. I'm not tripping though, I'll play once the lags start to go away.

Lag sucks. No one likes it, and it annoys us all because we just want to play poker. I say, would you complain about a free lunch? Think about it.

ive noticed the lag from time to time, but it hasnt really affected me too much, but a freeroll tourney did go down when i was playing last night. technical probems are to be expected, and as long as they are overcome in time im not going to complain. after all this is a FREE site, which i think everyone should appreciate. the chips bug is the one that does my head in, but it seems ok on the real money side, so hopefully it will get fixed here too in time

be lucky

Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining. Just wondering if others had been seeing the same things.

I do have broadband by the way.
