Prima malfunctions-- in my favor.

No idea, but there are some quite good players on Prima, including the guy I took the money from on that hand, Amon Wrath. Tuttu is very tough to crack.

I haven't played past the $50 level, but there are a handful of good players. Amon is pretty good. Extremebleu is not.

Amon had over $2000 on the $200 (PLO8 1/2) table tonight. I guess Prima found a way to pay him back.

Surprised he pushed pre-flop with a non-suited ace/deuce there. Your right he's usually a tough player.

I'm usually on the .20/.40 tables peddling for the free $100 at BET365 [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

How do you clear the bonus at that level? They state that the blinds have to be .5/1 for PL, don't they?

Good question. Myself, I am playing off the Bet365 bonus at the $.5/$1 level and above as per the terms. But I've heard you can get away with some play on smaller tables. The weekend Golden Riviera bonus can be played at any level so long as rake reaches .25 cents. That is good for another $80-$100 a month on Prima.

Where can I find info on that Golden Riviera bonus?

Mendacious · #8 11-09-2005, 11:00 PM

Their site I think, but also bonuswhores.com. Basically you have to deposit (I think $100-- maybe less) then play 140 raked hands. It starts every weekend at 12:01 AM and ends Sunday same time (maybe Greenwich time not Eastern).

You are right, Drizztdj, it was not a sound play on my behalf, but I was calling the original raise to see a flop. Come the surprise reraise courtesy of Prima Poker Software bug, I was too committed to lay my hand down.

Now are Prima going to sort this out?

So you don't think the "good karma" switch that Prima threw for you last night was enough? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

10 buyins up in a session on the $200 table is a lot.

Although my initial reaction was that they should credit you, I think your only protection there was to fold and ask for a refund for the $10-- or $45, depending on the rules for my first re-raise-- that you had already committed to the hand when the malfunction occured. Once you decide to gamble, I think you take your chances. Clearly if you win the hand you keep my money. I don't think Prima can "indemnify" you in that situation if you decide to gamble.

According to 2 dimes, you were only a 60/40 dog to my hand heads up (removing the "dead" cards from the other players hands). So your call was probably correct.
