    These clowns run what they call a "freebuy" series. Its essentially a tournament you can freeroll into, but if u bust u can choose to rebuy for a fairly small amount depending on what the guarantee is and these rebuys go towards the prizepool. Well the big 20 k guarantee just started running a lil bit ago and had a little over 4500 entrants, and big suprise acr hasnt solved any of their issues to allow a tourney with this many entrants to run more than a couple minutes before it crashes their shitty server. And now im left sitting at these tourney tables waiting for the issues to be resolved, what a joke. It doesnt look like any of these tourneys made the guarantee amount and they are probably eating a bunch of money just to try to get a few new deposits. I understand that acr may be trying out new things to boost their weak player pool, but this doesnt seem like the route to go.

    Shizz, that attachment was tiny.

    Can you resize it without the whitespace and re upload?

    No offense sir but try playing in the $500+40 One Million Guarantee they had the first time with 6 hours of straight lag before they cancelled it and I got nothing back except the entry fee while still being in the tournament at that time while others who busted the very first hand got a refund too because of their silly late registration policy.

    I've got a few other issues with the network now but usually they always eventually get things done right just they are incredibly understaffed and the software/servers are not ready for tournaments the size of stars.

    Yeah I heard about that too! Such bullshit!

    Looks like the 20k freebuy was cancelled; ppl on twitter not happy:

    lure people in with 20k gtd free roll & then cancel only that Mtt while keep running the rest. What an obvious money grab....

    LOL at anyone who calls this a "money grab" for something the network lost a bunch of money on already over the past two weeks never taking a dime for rake.

    The $20k freebuy is the tournament that obviously causes the most lag/disconnect issues if people are DDOS attacking causing the most amount of people issues.

    I bet they make it up at some point this network usually is good for that but for people who had stacks it was only in the first hour so with another 10 hours to go most with chips early are going to lose them at some point as with all tournaments.

    Of they course they would be mad, they didnt get a shot at their free money. I understand them trying new techniques to gain a larger userbase, but it is a fail idea, and they couldnt even execute it properly. With that said i will continue to play on acr reguardless.

    Its minor issues like this that will keep them from acquiring a larger player pool.
