A number of people have contacted me offline to confirm whether the rumours are true, and apologies for having to keep quiet for so long.
I can now confirm that yes it is true, I will be transferring the operation of the poker room to Marty's new site starting around October. Just to be clear, I will still be running it and Marty will not have any direct control.
Why the move? Well I've run it for ages now and it's ongoing cost and hassle. I'm a bit broke (thanks bitcoin ) and Marty has come through with a great financial offer which was hard to turn down. I know a lot of PFAers will miss the weekly freeroll timed to coincide with radio, but maybe there are some other options open. Marty hasn't ruled out continuing using the site for PFA radio, but that needs to be worked out.
We've done a bit of thinking on improvements, and here's some ideas. Initially:
- Bigger prizepools
- Unlimited reloads for the first 2 levels
- Longer structures
- Limit tournaments once a month
- Stud tournaments once a month
- Hold'em (no-limit) for all remaining tournaments
- Invitationals for the best posters to be held quarterly
- Training with sites such as Run It Once.
Details are still being worked on and nothing will change in the short term. When I know more I will let you know.
