Title: Phil Galfond setting up new poker site. Run It Once Poker coming February 6 2019

He mentioned on Twitter that this has been in the works for a very long time, hopefully they can make it work and provide a sustainable system for everyone. Phil has been very vocal in the past about calling out predatory behaviour that benefits the offender at the expense of every other party so it'll be interesting to see what they come up with.

No details on what that will look like yet, but there are plenty of reasons to believe that it won't be just another poker site with a name attached

I must admit I assumed it would be a very pro centric site but I'd forgotton about this. Huge undertaking ahead of him but he is a sharp cookie.

He's the poker equivalent of the British Army Catering Corps. Looks after food, but never sees front-line action.

It went well.

There were no real new bugs found, and the feedback we received was mainly positive. A few people suffered from the client freezing for a short time, but there were no crashes.

There will be another one soon, no date confirmed yet though.

If anyone is interested in taking part in the next one, sign up using this link https://www.runitonce.eu/

A couple of small blips for 2 mins or so but other than that it's going OK.

I deposited yesterday via Visa (First Direct debit). Got a OTP from the bank, submitted it and then received a fairly ugly error message that bypassed all the site style settings that essentially said 'failed. contact your CSR'.

Clicked OK and the deposit had gone through.

Trying to work out what the villain had after a hand could be improved, apart from that all good.

This is a pretty annoying known issue, but they are working on getting it resolved ASAP.

Almost a week old now. How time flies...
