Well friztson, these 3 tournaments that have been cancelled were origanally set-up to replace a daily FR of PI's because it ran at a time that wasn't "Euro-sentric", so 3 were set-up so that people from other time zones could reap some PI benifits (with the Players and Gamblers running at times that weren't as friendly to others from Europe and futher east). I enjoyed playing them because they were a perk that came with my VIP status and they run on the weekend (when I have the most time to play). So looking at what is being offered as thier replacement, I have to ask, "what's in it for me?" And I'd have to say for myself, the 200 who get on the LB 1-2, and all the players who have the status to play in these tournaments it's a -$50,400 in annually in prizes that everyone had a chance at!!! If password cheats are the cause for this, then change the password more often or send it out in an email the day before the tournament. Sit-outs are no reason to change either, so I'm at a loss to see how this can be better, unless I get a ticket automaticly every week plus my LB 1 or 2 as well??? 

Remember, Mother always knows best!!!!! (lol or at least that's what she always told me;) !)

At least with the token we can rest assured that the sitouts are PI members and not non members.

ee that at least eliminating the non PI members is a good staIt would be very nice to get rid of all of those sitouts as well. I play poker for fun and the sitoutsmake it less enjoyable for everyone.

So eliminating $50,000 in prize pools that every member has a chance at because of a few sit-outs and password cheats is a good thing? Man, I  just don't know any more!?!Frown

Here's 2 suggestions to slove the problem without having to cancel the tournaments.

1) Delay the payouts till membership to PI is confirmed, so it takes a couple of days for the payout. At least then when cheater is caught thier winnings can be re-disturbuted and BetMost can block them for a week or 2 as punishment (after that get's around, you'll see alot less cheaters)Laughing.

2) Have no cash payout, give "Nibs" (The Leader board kind), Tshirts and caps. That way a non-member has no-way of benifitting from placing in the $$$. PI could have a Prize Pool of 1050 "Nibs" for the 3 tournaments (350 each) and make it a top 10 payout?

Eliminating these tournaments is taking away 30% of the benifits of my PI membership (and everyone else who has the time and status to play them) and if the sit-outs & password cheats are such a big problem, why not do something to fix the other 2 tournaments as well?Undecided

I think, this is a very good idea. When u have so much time to reach enough nibs for the nib leaderboard 2 freeroll, u can play on the nib leaderboard 3. And 1 or 2 points i enough.

Play always with bad hands! Then you don't have to talk about bad beats.

Other things have been added...Blog Challenge (with cash and freerolls), Team Challenge ( with cash and freerolls), Referral Challenge with cash. Therefore, the amount each month we give out went up unlike you declared about it going down. But thanks for your feedback. Good luck at the tables!

i think the best way to elminate the cheats and non members from playin and to prevent the sitouts,, wuld be one to email the pw for the games to all the members,, and to elminate the sitouts wuld be to make the reg. for the games strat like mybe hour before the games starts instead of the day before,,, but either way i sitill enjoy bein here,, and to eamil all the members a pw wuld prbl take alot of time for the mods...

 

but either way u mods are doin a great job here and of course u cant please everyone rite
