Intercasino Will Hill down yesterday evening?

Trying to log on last night (European time), kept getting the message "Too many players watching the game, please try again later". Never got this before. I assumed a DoS attack timed with the Chelsea-Arsenal game. Had an e-mail from their betting site last week stating that they had been subjected to an attack during Cheltenham. Anyone else experienced this. Guess I'll have to start playing for dollars soon [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I logged on about 7:30 PM (PST) and it was running smooth. You was probably fast asleep by then though....

I sure wish the players would come back. Ever since they upgraded the software a couple of weeks ago, the $2/4, $3/6 scene has been empty. Is it because they all have to upgrade their machines to play there now? I dropped a couple hundred $ getting my machine up to their specs and now none's there. Good thinking.

If it doesn't liven up soon, I'm gonna have to move a big chunk of my BR from there (keeping just enough to grab the $50/month) and move up at another site. Too bad.

How is the 2/4 & 3/6 action on InterCasino?

I've only been doing 1/2 to clear my monthly bonuses.

Since the upgrade I've seen many people move to the NL and PL section, so there are fewer limit games. I've also started playing NL tournaments there which I've not done before. This evening I was in a 40 player multi and got to the last 5 - in the money - and second chip lead, when I get that f'ing message again and can't continue. Just logged back in and find out I came 3rd.

Used to be pretty good by my standards. It's not packed like some other places are, but there was usually at least one full table at each level running most nights, and usually pretty easy pickings. They're empty now (or have been for the last week).

Try the 1/2 pound game if you want to step up a bit (it's about 1.75/3.50 in $ and is really soft!)

There do seem to be fewer tables since the upgrade although I rarely have to wait longer than 5 ro 10 mins to get onto a 1/2 table. I've also noted less of the open seats marked "Resevered" despite people being on the waiting list bug since the upgrade as well.

The 1/2 (both £ and $) games are the softest on the net and as I've been playing less lately I've got enough accounts via the various skins that I am virtually player with a permanent £5/hour bonus.

I had been avoiding the pound games because I'd been told that they also rake in pounds (up to 3 pounds max), which is a bad deal if the rake would've capped at $3. Is this still the case?

[LetsRock]

Why would that make any difference? Same percentage as the $1/2 dollar game. If you're betting in pounds it makes sense to rake in pounds doesn't it?

[Homer]

Same percentage, different cap.

Playing in a 3/6 pound game with a 3 pound max rake is like playing in a 5/10 dollar game with a $5 max rake.

But isn't it proportinately the same? I don't get it.
