5 members in a room:

After last weeks connection problem I will conduct a couple of tests.Send me a PM if you to test it out with me.Though, whenever I go online I only ever see about 10 rooms when surely there must be hundreds of them so I fear only a certain selection of rooms get shown at any one time despite refreshing.I have yet to work out what this is based on and what the solution is.Any ideas?

[xGoLDeNBoNeS]

I can only think that everyone is playing cod4 and only a few people play poker...But when a room is full it disapears from the lobby...

[fad]

nah, I see poker rooms in the lobby with only 1 or 2 players out of 6.
It must be someting else.

I still need somebody to conduct a test with me.
Please send me a PM and will try a few things out.

I don't know...

I mean I get mesages off SBS_Nightstalker telling me to join his private game, and I find it perfectly, but when the game is full it disapears off of the lobby.

You might have the answer.I think you will all have to send me a friend request and then when I launch the game I will invite you in... That may be the ONLY solution..Send your friend requests NOW to fad !

[fad]

I'll be making the room soon and will accept the friend requests as soon as I power up the PS3 before the event.

[fad]

Anybody see the room? Anybody looking even ??

Also, that Friend thing was bollocks. I cant anywhere that allows you to invite people in....

[rookiekev]

looking but cant find you m8

[fad]

well, same thing.. I ened my room and I couldnt see any other Sit n Gos at all... Bloody joke.
I have made a new room as an Open Table.

See if you can see that: host = fad

[rookiekev]

still cant find u,shall i set one up just to see if u can find me

[fad]

well, somebody is in this one but i dont think theyre a member.

Try quitting the thing back to the main menu and trying again in case it lumps you onto a different server.

Looks like these events are a non-starter...

Bloody ridiculous crap server bolox. I'm going to call them up.

[fad]

Well, I bailed in that game.. Loads of people connected so it confirms its not the issue.

Does everybody else only see about 7 - 10 rooms MAX when you look in the lobby ? That cant be right surely?

I suggest we try this one mroe time next week with a different HOST (just in case....) so let me know if you want to give it a try.
If that doesnt work then I'll tell admin that this event just cant work.

The only alternative after that is that we all meet in a Play Money game on ParrtyPoker but call in the results here.... i dunno.... any other ideas?

well, if you did, I couldnt see you.
Very frustrating... a regular Poker meeting would have been Ultra cool..
