Tribeca sell out

[suzanne]

I was to be quite honest GUTTED when I heard of the Tribeca sell out to Playtech.

I have tried several other sites and always go back to Tribeca because I love it there.

VC is where I first fell in love with poker.

I enjoy the lobby and have made so many friends through chatting to people all over the world, many who I now have on msn.

I was absolutely delighted when Blonde joined and as the days tick by I am filled with gloom knowing it is all going to end soon.

Anyway enough of the depressing stuff..........my question is......with 4 tribeca accounts I have LOADS of action points.

I have made a point lately of playing any freerolls that are about to start coz im assuming these points will not be transferable...or will they?

I also assume that nearer the closing date emails will be sent out warning members of the closure and all the aps freerolls will be swamped so im trying to get in early LOL

However im going to be gutted if I find out later that they are transferrable and I could have spent them more wisely.

Is there any way of finding out?

BARON??? KEV???

You can sell the BPL action points, perhaps the other skins will just let you cash them in as well.

Very good question, better to know now what's in the pipeline.

Sell them? where?

Not had much luck on the street corner tonight so info welcome ;-)

Just ping a manager, I've not done it yet but I'm told it's relatively simple. You get $5 for every 10k in APs. I think it might just be Bowmans that do this at the moment I don't know about the other cages.

Is that ALL...these freerolls are full of donkeys (though not the war/armoured/well hung donkey like you ;-)

Ok I will stick to the freerolls but info would be appreciated

[The Baron]

Yup what Patrick said.

They are redeemable for cash - however I think you need to be at a certain level of loyalty before you can redeem them.

I will however find out exactly what the plan is for non-redeemable APs.

[Wardonkey]

Aaron,

When is the changeover likely to happen?

[Wardonkey]

Suze, unless you have millions then I think freerolls are the best use of your APs.

As long as you have the time you should get more $ per AP.

There's always the slightly overpriced merchandise which takes months arrive. (My Ipod from VC took months and much arguement)

whats gonna happen to the software? I am not up to speed with the whole sellout thing, so I dont know what is going on at all. Is there a thread/link that explains it?

[The Baron]

It's looking like May/June but no date has been set yet. I will keep people informed as soon as I know.

I for one am looking forward to the new software and the larger player pool.

Thanks Aaron.

I'm certainly looking forward to a tournament lobby that updates itself and can keep up with play.  The lag the other day was the worst I've seen.  It was taking minutes to register people being knocked out.

Its always been a pet hate of mine about the Tribeca skins.  I'll miss the table graphics though as I started out on there so it has kind of a 'homey' feel to it when I play there.

[Wardonkey]

It is my first home as well.

I'm not convinced about the increase traffic tho. There are less than 3000 players on Playtech now compared to 9.5 on Tribeca. Losing 25% from people prefering different software would negate the extra players already at Playtech.

I agree Sheriff but more to the point we'll have a mixutre of structures, more realistc payouts, better clocks, more value in our comps, more guaranteed prizepools and hopefully a better loyalty scheme.

Also new customer service from the network which to be frank, can only be better. Less cashier issues. The option of private STT's (I think), the list is endless.
