The Poker Lab Rat

It is just me - or has everyone been having problems logging on and playing at the PRIMA network over the last few days?

Certainly we’ve seen the number of players registering for FREEROLLS climb dramatically towards 8,000+ players on average - and that seems to be having a damaging affect on the the state of the network.

I’m frequently getting average, poor and bad connections to the game out - and a connection status like that frequently means being dropped off - missing complete hands and extended pauses followed by frantic flicking of that cards on screen.

The upshot of it all is that if you get a bad connection and you want to play then you find yourself being forced into going “all-in” prior to the flop - just because you cannot be sure that you’ll be online to call any raises that come down.

So next time you see a player go all-in early - be aware that they may not be “a muppet player” - they may simply be suffering as the PRIMA network collapses under the load of so many FREE players.

If you’re playing on PRIMA - please post a comment and let us know of you currently having any problems at all?
