Look at the file names for most of the pages on the site and you can fill in the missing piece. Wink

The harsh truth... Smile

Maybe if the bugs get worked out on poker so your e$ don't disappear, we could up the price per hand. I've never personally had a problem with the bugs, but apparently some people have had quite a bit vanish... although I think they might've just gotten carried away. Wink

Poker is cool for making a bit of quick cash, but I'm sure a lot of people don't know anything about it since the link only seems to appear here! It's the most hidden part of einvesting!

I also find the hold radio buttons to be a bit small, I accidentially don't press the hold button when I mean to. Cool

Yes that would be cool.


I haven't actually experienced the bug people were discussing above, but I did notice an interesting thing. I shall try to explain!

Scenario:

I have two windows open, one poker and the other one is the forum... and I post something in the forum and get e$ for that while I have the poker window open.

I then go back to play poker (without refreshing the poker page as it's already opened), the poker only recognizes the amount I previously had and without giving much thought, I continue to play. Now the poker does not recognize the money I gained while posting, and that money seems to vanish as the poker seems to write over your master amount.

I hope I was clear with the bug I experienced. It's not a big problem since I have come up with a prevention method:

Don't keep two windows open while playing poker and posting on the forums. Keep them as separate experiences so you are only doing one at one time.

From what I understand, there are a number of "quirks" with the poker code, and that's why Benjamin hasn't made the link more obvious.

I sure wish Ben would up the stakes on the poker sim. After the last 2 weeks, it seems I'm MUCH better at poker than I am at picking stocks.
