I haven't been super thrilled with 888.
Party Poker ON has been great.
There are new account bonuses, no dep required.
MTTs still have overlay, but not as much as a couple weeks ago. Right now the buys in cover ~80% of the guarantees.
It's a great opportunity for playing the satellites - 30 players sign up for a ticket worth 10x the buy-in, so if you know short stack play and ICM it's worth it!
The main MTTs still have the same ~15-18% winners, but i think the fields are still a bit softer than normal - maybe because of all the satellite winners.
Ok I will try party poker next then after my 888 bonus expires in 2 months .Ya 888 tourneys are like that initially coz of the free satellites so can make some money off PKO .But after the first 30 mins it's a grind.But atleast the timings are better ,get lots of tourneys after i get off workTredford said:

Have to agree. Tourneys that used to have thousands of entrants now are lucky to get to triple figures. And the pots are reduced to match. The government of Ontario really screwed this up for me since I didn't even have the option to stay in the original 888 site.
Here we go it has begun

CC may have something in the works similar to the Germany & Brazil Freerolls but wouldn't count on it with our small player pool. On the bright side it has given me time to focus on Individual League & Special Events on Replay, same great people just minus the free money 😎
Just got the same email notification from PS as Ron112355.
Certainly sounds like we will be limited to the tiny little player pool from Ontario. I wonder if PS will have any tournaments exclusively for us.
I play with a small group in a home game. Certainly hope that continues.
Will Cardschat have a daily $100 freeroll for us?
Tomorrow will tell the tale.
Does not look like a good day for poker in Ontario.

Time will tell what will be in store for us in the future when it comes to CardsChat freerolls, so stay tuned.Herkstwin said:
I guess we knew this day was coming so we shouldn't be surprised with the quick turnaround and 'kind of' a short notice either. 🙁
It's good news that the play money side won't be fenced in but I am curious if it will require a separate login through pokerstars.net or something.
Regardless, I'm a bit shocked that they pulled this with less than a day's notice. I had a few tickets that will now go unused and I'm curious if they will turn them into cash or T$...

It's been nice, but as of today Pokerstars has become useless to me. I really enjoyed playing in the CC freerolls, but unfortunately, I am still stuck living in this sh*t-hole called Ontario, where it's clearly the government's crusade to to remove assess to anything that's free or fun for its citizens .
So far what I have found is I cannot play any real money games since they are unable to verify my location. I'm hoping this is a temporary problem since I am very much sitting in the province of Ontario with my VPN disabled.
Prior to trying to join a SNG, I wanted to see how well the Cashier worked. I've filled in my personal details but do not see how to fill in my banking details...yet. I'm not going to fret about it yet and will give them a couple of days to get things figured out before I look for help.

That happened to me with 888 Poker (they could not verify my location, despite being in Ontario) - took about 5 weeks to sort it out. The various solutions they offered were lame and not helpful (reset router, make sure router is visible and discoverable, whatever that meant, turn off firewall, etc) - I ended up having to send SO much personal information about myself just to get it right, in the end.Shells said:
I hope you get your location issues worked out quickly.
