Totally agree Al.

They changed it to UK only, and it still is a disaster. The irony being that only 9 are paid so it is appalling value unless you are playing for the points.

15 minute blinds means this will still be going next week.

Subscriber only competitions surely are the way forward?

$10 buy in would help or make it that if a site hosts it anyone in the points/cash has to give a randomly asked word from the mag to live support as they exit.

A mix of freeroll and buy-ins, with the points weigted towards the buy-in tourneys. Apart from the final, I thought the PokerGod format worked well.

A lot of people only buy the magazines for the value in the freerolls, unless they take some radical action I,m afraid they will start to lose readers.

Even had some numpty on my table(didgit1) giving out the password for the PP freeroll on Tuesday!

If you look back over the years and the problem of the password issues, it makes you wonder wether the magazines even give a fck about their subscribers!

Why not test them on this?

Next time your sub is up for renewal, simply dont do it and go to WHSmith and get the password out of the magazine, or go to your local casinos where you can usually pick the magazines up free.

I know some people will say " well if no one buys, we dont get the freerolls anymore" and my answer to that would be, " so?? what value are they now anyway?"

Thanks Mik but it wasn't to be, I went out in 18th. AK v A7 lost me 70K when I put the guy all in only for 2 7s to appear on the flop, couple hands later, I get my last 110K in on a J high flop with QQ, called by QJo who hits another J on the river.

GL remaining guys
