sounds good

[Dodger]

Winning player must be 21

Damn...I'm too old then.

[GotaFancy?]

Lost most of my interest in OFC however we can't let it go by at Pokerkings without entering can we

[dobbin]

I think there will be a lot of value in this one...No USA Players and with Boss Media 3 sites rule on one computer I think the amount of players playing in this will be lower than normal...

[GotaFancy?]

Assuming no other obvious choices, both of these will be focus games

You could be right

It's strange that the prize pools are in USD (when we know it's a EUR site)

[Mad Duke]

cheers

[GotaFancy?]

Wee... i actually love this OFC tournaments cause they always have those huge prizes for the 1st place (Like the last one on Poker Time which a fish called DonChatoman won )

Nice win

The biggest put offs for me are:
- They're too US centric - for example, the travel expenses for live events (in the US) are ridiculous and assuming you are only travelling locally (will be interesting to see what expenses they offer for the tourney on PokerKings where US players cannot play )
- The forum challenge aspects are way way too heavily weighted on numbers.....

1st Prize For the buy in is
$1000 WSOP Super Sat Buy In
$1500 for travel,etc

so you are looking at about 700sterling, not alot for a return ticket to USA and maybe a couple of nights accom

I think that is the breakdown of the 1st Prize in the Buy In

[Marlin]

I’ve played in one or two of these before in the PL team (and I seem to remember we were well outnumbered), but I’ve come up against the Boss 3 sites rule myself, this time, and support tell me there is no way round it.


Best of luck to those of you who can play though.

[GotaFancy?]

Support are wrong

There is no limit on the number of Boss sites you can play on your machine.
There is a limit of 3 Boss site registrations per PC (per "build") - you can "get around it" by registering from a friends PC, by reinstalling Windows on your machine (a bit drastic!!), or by using Windows Virtual PC, VMWare or mojopac

My thoughts exactly

[Marlin]

Oh, right. Thanks Gaf.
I'm setting up a spare PC next week so maybe I will be able to enter.
