This is pretty cool. I had been looking forward to this update for quite sometime, however im not as enthusiastic as i expected to be. The merge now has many more players on one server, which i think is amazing. However, there are some down sides. The small stakes sit n gos ($1 and $2) now have DOUBLE the entry fee. Instead of the buy ins being $1.10 and $2.20, they are $1.20 and $2.40. Personally, i think this is an absurd joke. The only people playing those tables are people trying to build a bankroll from a small amount of money....how the hell are they supposed to do that with the added cost.

For now, these are some of the things i noticed. I have only spent a couple of minutes looking around the newly added features, so ill post again later if i see anything else that catches my eye.

Good Luck

The graphics are really bad, not as clean as you would hope. It's difficult to follow the action because everything is just a bit out of place. Of course, that might also have to do with me being stupid...

Btw, is it possible to be logged in from your UB and AP account at the same time?

[Dunbar]

No, you cant login on UB and AP at the same time. I just checked it, but it seems like the AP software is exactly the same? I dont see any new features, or differences.

I know that earlier today you could log on to both your UB and AP account at the same time, if you use two different computers (same IP). Another possible security breach they need to get fixed asap (not sure if they've fixed it already though).

I don't think that could be changed, but they do need to make sure that it's not the same persons account. They need to somehow tag account on both sites. Just think about how many players log in from hotel rooms during large tournaments. You can't block them all.

It just amazes me how they didn't come up with a system that checks this, before they went public and were still were testing.
