Tribeca sell out

[The Baron]

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 will put this accross as an official question to the people who matter in a phone call tomorrow.

I'll have more for you then mate.

Thanks Baron,

Keep us posted!

I have an account on Titan and Noble and used to play there quite a lot.

The site is full of the most chauvinistically tossers I have come across .

It will be quite amusing so see how they cope with the Blonde deluge :-)

Does anyone know if it is possible to "top up" in a Rebuy on Ipoker? I ask because, I was under my starting stack and wanted to double my chips with an extra buy-in (like topping to 4000 chips at the start of a rebuy on Tribeca) but couldn't figure out how to do it.

[I'd better get used to the software now, if Blonde is going there next year...]

No It is not!!

This is one of the reasons, (I Hope) that certain Tribecca poker rooms will choose a different platform to operate on.

Ipoker rebuys work like this :

1) You CANNOT add on UNTIL you have lost ALL your stack

[Sheriff Fatman]

Poker sites in general seem to have a problem getting rebuys to work properly - quite a few of them seem to have bugs:

iPoker - as above
Tribeca - problem on the last hand (if you bust you can only get the add-on, not the double rebuy aswell)
Party - lets you rebuy if you are all-in during a hand while the hand is still being dealt.

Stars seems to work fine.  Anyone else know of any other bugs around the sites?  I suppose you can plan to work around them if you know they exist but its a surprisingly consistent area for site 'bugs'.

Yes but the Ipoker problem is a big one I think as this will reduce the guarantees/prize pools on rebuy events as you cannot double rebuy.

Where as Party rebuy problem actually INCREASES the guarantees/prize pool as you can rebuy when all in no matter how many chips you have!

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?

There is a thread somewhere on here - can someone locate it & put up a Link to it for Totalise please? (Aaron?....)

Ok guys I have put accross some of your questions and thoughts to the head of Bowmans - please remember that the licencees have the choice of where to move, it's not in the skin's hands necessarily. So Bowmans decided to move it's skins to ipoker it was not blonde's choice. That's not an excuse before it's begun - it's just to let you know that some skins wont have a choice where they go.

The migration is more than likely going to be brought forward to mid February or early March at the latest. Again, no date has been set exactly yet but this is looking more and more likely.

So what about your APs?

Well we're guaranteeing you get them (or ipoker points direct quivalent) once the migration is complete - so no need to worry. The Reward scheme for prizes is probably going to come to an end - however the points on the new network WILL still be able to be used for freerolls and will still be redeemable for cash.

If you are still unsure I've instructed Bowmans to allow cash ins for APs over the 100k mark. It's $5 for every 10,000 APs.

As Wardonkey has said though, you're more likely to get more for your APs through the donkfest freerolls IMO.

Wardonkey,

The figures ipoker have quoted to me are 6000 players at peak times.

Now whilst we will be losing our US skins and probably a few more when the migration comes I would guess we will still end up with 6 of our 9000 players that are currently on Tribeca - two thirds is a fair guess IMO.

The should leave us with 12,000 players before Tain are integrated. We expect 3000 more from there.

So after the migration and everything has settled down we hope to be around the 15,000 player mark - 6000 better off than where we are now.

I hope that answers everything.

I'd like to keep this thread running. If you have any more questions please post them on here and I'll try to get them answered for you.

Thanks

Aaron

Is the current tribeca software just being disbanded completely?
