This one is open to all APF sign-ups at Power Poker and the Active Members Club. The Bonanza is back! The winner will have this award permanently in his/her sig line. Power Poker is an excellent new site on the Cake Network, sharing it's large player base and offering all the same benefits as it's sister sites. If you'd like to know more about why i've chosen to approach Power Poker, i've written a little FAQ in the forum thread : here A full review of Power Poker can be read on the main Alternate Poker pages : here Please let us know if you have downloaded and signed-up to Power Poker using one of the forum banners.

Might be a good idea to get new members to have made 3 quality posts to be eligible rather than just coming in and introducing themselves Or does it mean that the more sign-ups through APF (even non-depositors) gets us more money added in the future in a way yes. if we don't get enough sign-ups and /or depositors, then it won't be worth Power Poker giving us extra sponsorships, so every sign-up is crucial in a way. it's them giving us the money so naturally i have to do everything i can to generate players while making sure the game does not become a freeforall. if we gain a few new members due to the freeroll, this isn't necessarily a bad thing either (i doubt it will be many). i think the balance will be about right.

Thanks for the explanation H I should know better than doubting your integrity   HOUSECATS HOUSECATS=XHOUSECATS Mysterys I am already a member here and a depositer I have had nothing but outstanding customer service here I know I am not eligible for the freeroll but I thought I would tell you I think Power Poker is #1 It is far my fav on the cake network swoop swoop33 Arsenal28 Arsenal28=Sabre32 HOUSECATS Went to log on to Power Poker today to put some money on and play and this is what I got. So I guess people from KY can not play here. So I guess you can take my name off the list. Don't understand why I can play at some cake poker Sites but not all of them. Just don't make sense to me. So good luck to all that plays harry_lime HOUSECATS wrote: So I guess people from KY can not play here. So I guess you can take my name off the list.

So good luck to all that plays i'll double check that with our rep when i get back on thursday HC. i can totally understand your frustration with this. HOUSECATS Thanks Harry. You Just keep having fun watching the dancing girls. More important things than poker and you are doing it now. Have fun and enjoy harry_lime HOUSECATS wrote: Thanks Harry. You Just keep having fun watching the dancing girls. More important things than poker and you are doing it now. Have fun and enjoy No worries HC. So here's the official stance from support : Thank you for your email. There can be no change in position in terms of not accepting players from Kentucky at Power Poker until such time as all levels of appeal in the US Court system have been exhausted. This is generally the standard line for most Cake sites although i think different rooms use different blocking devises and some may well work better than others. So theres not much to do there really except to say that PP are following the Cake guidelines until the US situation changes. Frustrating, but not really PP's fault. Sorry i couldn't be more help HC. HOUSECATS Thanks Harry for the info. Explains alot about why I can play at some Cake sites  and not others. I will Be glad when the courts make a decision on this matter one way or the other so we know where we stand.

The tickets to tomorrow's game have now been issued but you will still need to manually register for the game. Just click "register" in the tounament lobby and you should see that your ticket is there and ready to use. Roll on tomorrows game ! P.S. Unfortunately, it will probably not be possible to add or correct any names if there are problems as our rep will be away for the weekend. As far as i understand, the full list has been issued correctly, so hopefully no one will miss this. JR I just registered for this game.  Unless I'm reading it wrong it looks like a minimum of 25 players is required for this game.  We seem to only have 19 players at the top of this thread.  This could be a problem. harry_lime JR wrote: I just registered for this game.  Unless I'm reading it wrong it looks like a minimum of 25 players is required for this game.  We seem to only have 19 players at the top of this thread.  This could be a problem. damn you're right, it could well be a problem but our rep knew the numbers when they were added. i'll send an e-mail now and hope i can catch him. thx JR Miklosik please point me in the proper direction.  I cannot find this tournament.

Wish I could play with you all but still can not log on Funny you say that HC.  When I first signed up, there was a box to check swearing that I was not from KY. harry_lime Update As expected, the game was cancelled today so i will get in touch with Power Poker and try to re-arrange the event on Monday for later in the month. All the names currently on the list will be automatically included and won't have to sign up again. Know-nuffin That's a shame Harry. Well done for arranging it even though it didn't happen. MrBadBeat Yeah, ta anyway Harry. I'm off on my hols on Aug 16 so if you could make it a Saturday before then that would be great. harry_lime MrBadBeat wrote: Yeah, ta anyway Harry.
