I'm going to spend some time attempting to get new players to join and would love help if available.

I'll be posting links that could use some social support in the form of likes and/or comments. For example I just made a comment on this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/poker/comments/1nh3uk8/where_to_play_free_poker_online/

If you have a reddit account I would love an upvote on the comment and even a reply!

the game is sitting in 2015 still and you expect people to play it's embarrassing.

Sam, 100% agree its on me.

That said, I've been able to get more time into fixing and upgrading things over the past few months and hope for that to continue. It's a lot of work but I like it and hope to be more consistent about updating.

One of the first things you should do if your actually serious about working on the site again is getting an official discord server going and link it to the main site.

Remove the forum completely and build up the player base from the ground up.

Discord is just essential for any games now. We already have a kdice / gpokr discord and would be great if you join but it's not official by any means.

https://discord.gg/RNHTR8qT - kdice

(someone is also actively working on a new kdice style game currently in there and looks promising maybe you could even help them out)

https://discord.gg/eqAFzEz2 - gpokr

Would be better having both games under one discord server though as official ones.

And yeah I'm not trying to be harsh I loved this game and kdice back in the day I was one of the biggest spenders if not the biggest in terms of donations years ago.

Just sad to see it got to the state it's in but it's revivable if your willing to put the work in.

Would definitely help if people could contact you much easier and discord is perfect for that.

I think every table should have 1 bot sometimes there are 3 bot on the one table which every one is at, nobody can move up because there is no one at the bigger tables. the ten minute wait time helps nobody and if this was changed would put more money into the game.
If the bots lose they should instantly be refilled and play again. if this happens you will always have someone to play at any table.

Thank you Ryan. I appreciate your efforts into the site recently!! Past is past, you are here now! :)

I agree with Unc (MCFC), add bots to the higher tables. This morning is an example, not many online and with it the end of the month, it makes it hard to take a run at a medal if you have limited time.

@Dave H

Check out https://gpokr.com/#GetPaid24. It has a leader bounty. It tracks the leaders every 100 hands and awards a bounty from it.

Ryan,

The bounty is a great idea and is a sucess but is going to cause alot of issues with the cheating rules.
I have seen the same 2 people playing heads up and checking hands down just to get the bounty.

Maybe its a good idea that the hands are only counted if its over 4 players or more towards the bounty?

I am not saying Kruger and Maddie are cheating because I know they wasnt but sitting heads up and checking hands to get the 500k bounty on 5k table is luke using a glitch.

If you got time you can sit at the 5k table allday checking the 100 hands with a friend and take turns of each getting the bounty.

Ok we weren't cheating, we were checking each other hands down but not for the bounty just cause my luck was crap. I do agree that maybe 3 or more players should be playing for the bounty to kick in so it is more fair if it is going to cause so much conflict. But not sure how that would work if bounty is up and one leaves table then the two who have played almost 100 hands get nothing?

Oh and I forgot to mention another player was coming back and fourth from that table to another so anyone could've and did join anytime.

Two quick questions about the bounty:
1) When does it payout just 1st and when does it payout 1st and 2nd?'
2) Do you to be sitting at the table to collect the bounty?
