I have been playing at Poker.com since Dec 9th probably 80 percent of my poker time. I can say that the last 2 days they have had big problems with their system. The speed of play has been a lot slower in this time period. So if you have tried them out recently you my not be seeing the real Poker.com. I am hopeful that they get the system back to full speed soon. As far as sit-n-go's I agree that just aren't enough players, so if youo looking for lot's of sit-n-go action this is probably not he place.

The table games can be profitable though . Been trying to clear my bonus and playing .10 to $1 ring games. THere are lots og good players and fish. THe problem I have been having is Too many fish. I find that if there is 1 or 2 fish I can usally hava profitable run if I catch some cards, However if there are 3 or more fish then things get tough., It's hard to win when you got 3 people chasing cards all the time. I have finally learned to just leave those tables.
I only have 26 more hands to play to clear my 1,000 raked hands. Yeppee! and my bank roll there started $100 and is no $379 not including the bonus.

So, yea I kinda like the site.

Forgot to mention how much I loved the THF bonus there, 100% up to $100 and they don't dribble it out $3 at a time. You get the whole $100 after meeting the playthrough requirments.

i cant think of enough reasons to hate the site - the support there is non-existent at best - i was asked to verify my account after having happily withdrawn and deposited there for 8 months - when i refused to send them a copy of my passport to verify - as i consider this an intrusion into my privacy and also unnecessary - they deemed it just fine to take the money from my account anyway without any authorisation.
when questioned about this they told me point blank that they did not have the money. when my bank confirmed to me without any doubt whatsoever that they had taken the money they demanded my bank statement. when i had sent them my private and personal bank statement 3 times and they apparently 'did not get it' - i sent it a fourth time. That time they admitted getting it and stated they would look into it. that is the last i have heard of them. although they keep telling me son - who also wrote to them - that they would get back to me - they have as yet to do so - they have now had my money they took without authorisation for over two weeks. my bank advised me to start fraud proceedings - they still dont deem it necessary to do anything about it, they are not responding to any emails, they are simply out of order. even before that, although they keep claiming the constant crashes are something new, we all know they are not - i used to be a member since many months and they have always had problems with that site - but it is the taking of money without authorisation that is worryingly out of order. i have no intention of ever playing at that site again - others, be warned, they are dishonest and even when you can prove that to them they will do absolutely nothing about it. my case is now being investigated by my bank as poker.com is doing sweet nothing about it - and to dip into my account without authorisation is simply fraud..... there are other sites about who take customer service seriously and who will also not deal dishonestly with your money....

Hey E. Have you ever tried PokerTime.com? I must say its the fastest I've ever played. Cant comment on the sng's but they have lots of players. They gave me $10 free for signing up and depositing the minimum. Nothing to clear. I played in a freeroll of 9,850 and took 6th. So I know they have lots of players there. The freeroll only took like 4-5 hours. The action is superfast.

Cool

getting usually no reply at all from poker.com despite their so-called 24 hour help, which simply does not exist - and the odd 'we will look into it' or ' i will pass it onto a manager who will look into it' - i got nothing but silence from them - they simply cannot admit when they messed up.
so i went to their forum to post there instead, i think it is called spamming (blinking innocently into the sunlight) - i was warned that i might get erased or no answer, hmmmm - then i got banned and was told 'grow up - i told you somebody will be dealing with your problem' - since then not a bean, nada, nothing -

hmmm and there i thought it was me trying to deal with 'my problem' - well, i got banned til November so i guess they anticipate walking very slowly round the world until they find somebody to deal with 'my problem'

in the meantime they have still got my money which they took without authorisation directly out of my bank account..... so, if anyone ever encounters them on their trek round the world give them my regards please - and something else i think is done with a boot........a big one....

Sounds strange to me garlix...how does a poker site take money out of ones Bank account....money is transfered by services such as Neteller, Credit cards, Western Union, Money orders...not direct Bank to Poker Site transfers and if that were possible, how does Poker.com know your account information, account number, routing numbers, check number etc...and why would you bank transfer any money without your permission!...Your acting like Poker.com zapped money directly out of your bank account without your permission!
