You've Been Banned for Cheating!	Dear Customer:             It is always difficult for us here at ___<skin name>____, to discontinue a relationship with a valued customer.  One of the few reasons we take this step is when we are convinced a customer is involved in collusion or cheating.  Not only does that damage the sanctity of our site, but it is also against the law.  Thankfully, while we continually monitor all games and transactions and can accurately determine the conduct of illegal activity, it is very rare to find it..  Unfortunately in your case, we have determined that you are involved in just such activity.             Specifically, you have been monitored  <prohibited behavior>. . .             Accordingly, you have been banned from this site.  We are evaluating the status of your deposited monies and whether to take legal action at this time.  You may contact us further via e-mail at _____________.             Sincerely,             XXXXXXXXXXXXXX             Poker Support
No Reducing Please	Dear Customer:              We would like to inform you about our rules regarding �reducing.�  Reducing is the act of taking money off the table and quickly returning to the same table to play with this lowered amount. We are sure you can see the inequity in one player, having just won money to get up and return with less,  thereby denying his/her opponent  a chance to win back his/her losses.             Because reducing is prohibited at this (and most every poker game worldwide), we encourage players to make an appropriate buy-in, and thereafter to allow all chips to remain at the table until they are ready to end their session.  If a player takes any money off  the table, that player must leave the table, and cannot return for thirty (30) minutes.             We hope this clarifies this matter for you.  If we can be of any further assistance, please contact as again.             Sincerely,             XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX             Poker Support

May I suggest that you start out at play money tables until you are comfortable with the technology? These tables are at the bottom of the list of tables and say �Play Tables�.
Queries for Player Notes	Thanks for your suggestion about player notes. We were reluctant to implement this as we felt it may scare some of the less confident players away. After further consideration, we are examining the idea of introducing this feature, although it will be some time before it is implemented.
Chips in Pot	In order to see the chips in the pot, move your cursor over the center of the pot at any time and it will show you how much money is there.
Miscellaneous Suggested New Feature	Thank you for your suggestion. We have discussed this feature and it is on the drawing board for future development. We can't estimate the delivery date at this time, but we greatly appreciate your input.
Graphics Problems	We are very sorry to hear you had a graphics problem. Certain computer setups and operating systems have experienced temporary graphics issues. We are working on our end to resolve this issue for every possible combination. Thank You for bringing this to our attention. Or We are very sorry to hear you had a graphics problem. Certain computer setups and operating systems have experienced temporary graphics issues. We are working on our end to resolve this issue for every possible combination. It is generally an issue of the resources of your computer being used up by other programs, particularly instant messenger type programs (AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Instant Messenger, etc. )that are called "desktop applications". They tend to drain the resources and when you use a graphics intense program like poker, this results in the resources running too low and the graphics acting up. By closing your other programs you will experience this issue to a much smaller degree. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Show Losing Hand	Thanks for your suggestion. We have considered this option but decided against it because the weaker players tend to get very embarrassed when caught bluffing or when they call you at the end with a very weak hand and everyone sees their inexperience. For this reason we have decided not to show the losing hand on the river.
Random Blinds Payments in Multi-table Tourneys	Hi. Thanks for your comments on the blinds in tourneys. When we break tables and move players, we randomly assign the players to new tables and it sometimes happens that you will pay a blind twice in a row. This is totally random and therefore everyone has the same advantage and disadvantage.  Some days you will play two rounds and not pay a blind. We appreciate your comments and input.
Dead Button Handling	Thanks for your comments. There are two schools of thought on the button, dead button and forward moving button. There are pros and cons to each and we have elected the forward moving button method. We will continue to study this issue to ensure that it still the best method for us.  This issue has been resolved. We appreciate your comments and continued support.  We will be redesigning the table to resolve this and other issues. This will however take some. We appreciate your comments and support.
Why only 9 Seats at a Table, where other sites have 10?	As you can imagine, we debated this issue a great deal and felt that in the interests of keeping the game moving faster, our players are better served by having a 9-handed table with more tables. We appreciate your comments and continued support.
Waiting for Disconnected players in tourneys	Thank you for your comments. We have noticed a number of no show participants and have instituted two policies to deal with this. First, players are immediately marked as "away from the table" so there is no delay, and secondly, we now require a minimum fee based on Action Points to enter the tournaments. This will discourage players from entering but not playing.  We appreciate your ongoing feedback and support. Thank You,   Hi,  Thanks for your thoughtful comments. There is obviously an issue between protecting late players or players with bad connections and also maintaining the integrity of the tournament. In these early stages, we are choosing to protect the first group but are monitoring this closely. We appreciate your input and continued support.
Win98/WinME Graphics Issue	Thank you for your comments. We are aware of this graphics issue with Windows ME/98 and are currently developing a "work-around" solution that will be implemented in approximately one week. We appreciate your input and patience and continued support. Thank You,
Tourney Stats	In the tournament lobby, you will find basic stats on players left, chip amounts etc. As you may know these are beta test tournaments and as such we will be adding features as we go. We appreciate your input and ongoing support. Thank You,
4 Color Decks	Thank you for your suggestion regarding the four colour deck. This is on our drawing board for future development and implementation. We appreciate your input and continued support.
Slow down at Showdown when "all in"	Thanks for your suggestion regarding turning cards over one at a time when players are all-in. We will certainly pass this along to the development and policy teams for review and consideration.  We greatly appreciate your ongoing feedback and support. Don't forget to join us in the evenings for our tournaments.
Freezing or Crashing System	First, I would always keep Norton anti virus running. Internet Explorer and word use very little system resources, although numerous pages of Internet Explorer may slow things down. Desktop applications can 'generally be found in the bottom right corner of your screen, evidenced by little icons on the bottom taskbar. Examples are AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Pager, MSN messenger, Window Washer, etc.  In summary, the fewer programs you have running the better.  Also, we are constantly updating the software to use less and fewer graphic that tend to drain the resources of your PC. Finally, adding memory if possible will generally greatly enhance your PC or Laptop's use of system resources.  I trust this has been helpful.  Sincerely,  Poker desk support
Connection Problem	Sorry you cannot connect to our game. Can you tell us more about you computer configuration please. What operating system, what processor (Pentium II?), how much memory? What message is displayed?  Have you been able to connect to the game before? Generally, if you uninstall and the re-install the game from the website, most problems tend to disappear.
Multiple Accounts	No Player may open more than one real money or play money account. Management will consider this a very serious issue and at its discretion may elect to suspend, terminate or freeze the funds in these accounts. No exceptions will be permitted.
Too Many Good Hands Being Seen	Thank you for your comments on too many good hands. If you look on our web site under Game Play and then RNG/Shuffling, you will find details of the great lengths we have gone to, to assure randomness in the deal and have had this process certified by the most prestigious independent certification company in the world.  http://vcpoker.com/bmmi_rngcerti.html The speed of the game and the tremendous amount of hands we see relative to a live game, in large part accounts for the difference in how many more good hands we see relative to our experience. Remember our entire business and reputation rests on ensuring this is truly random and perfectly secure and we would not risk any deviation from this principle under any conditions.
More All-ins please	Regarding your all-ins, each player gets one new all-in every 24 hours. Also, if you are experiencing a genuine connection issue, the Customer Service Representatives may refresh your all-in on occasion. You will need to leave the table you are playing at for this to take effect.
The Game Plays Too Fast	The game runs at a prescribed pace. Normally, the lower stakes tend to play a little slower. Also, you can play for fun without money until you get used to the games.
