Did planet poker go out of buisness?

[gabyyyyy]

Their site has been down for days.

Anyone have the scoop?

[gabyyyyy]

Nevermind.. Wow they have no tournaments and hardly any players now.

I wonder what the hell happenned.

I've played some there several nights this week. There was an outage on Sunday night for a short bit, but I do not remember an outage of days.

Definitely not a lot of players, but I had fun.

It's really a shame, because it used to be a great, reliable site.

For some reason, they (Roy Cooke?) just didn't want to change anything, even in the face of substantial evidence that they really needed to.

I am assuming you guys have DL'd and tried to log into PP2 or "nextgen" PP If that one is dead, it is too bad, I logged in a week or 2 ago and there was like 2 games going, that place had potential.

I played there maybe 4-6 months ago, was difficult to find many tables. Won about 200-300 bucks playing Omaha hi/lo 3/6 but just couldn't stand the hunt for a decent table (I HATE shorthanded play)

They were VERY fast as far as transferring my money out of the site, which was cool. Most of the more popular sites you can wait friggin days to get your cash back into netteller.

Pokerstars credits your original deposit directly back to your neteller, empire/party gives you your money within a few hours, and absolute is instant. Pretty good if you ask me [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

the original planet poker is closed and planet poker next generationis now open for real money play. Tournaments show as under construction. It seems to take a longer to log in to the site than many others and recently there have been many updates a pain with my modem connection. I rarely play there but certainly the new softwareis an improvement. Now lets hope they have a nice reload bonus and freerolls to get some customers back

Received my original deposit from PokerStars immediately and then the extra amount within minutes.

What planet are you living on? At Absolute, not only do you have to wait 48 hours to request, but they often take a day or two after that to send the money. Only Pacific is slower for me.
