32Red Poker interviews steviec7

32Red Poker interviews steviec

32Red: So how did you originally hear about 32Red Poker?
Steviec7: I heard about 32Red Poker through a poker forum I used to work for a few years ago, we had a forum league series on here.

32Red: How much would you say 32Red Poker has improved over the years?
Steviec7: The software has got loads better in the 3 to 4 years I have played here but on a whole 32Red does seem to have a more community minded approach especially with the forumfest games and the 10-Day Challenges for 32Red players only and not network wide etc

32Red: What is your favourite software feature at 32Red Poker?
Steviec7: Where do I start…1st of all I like the Sit Outs Booted feature there is nothing worse than a table with sit outs on it I am sure it is the bane of many a player’s game.  Then I like the rabbit cam (sometimes grrrr) and of course the 4-colour deck I always use anyway.

32Red: What is your favourite promotion at 32Red Poker?
Steviec7: Probably the Forumfest games they are quite fun and it is also a good way of getting other forumers together for a game or 9 lol.

32Red: How would you describe 32Red Poker to a friend?
Steviec7: I would describe it as a friendly and reliable site to play on, you’re never far away from a game really, they start quite regularly.

32Red: What is your biggest tournament win at 32Red Poker?
Steviec7: I have not really played the MTT’s that much to be honest I have a strict personal bankroll regime and have only just started to play them!  So if I have any good ones I will put em on here!

32Red: If you could improve on 1 thing at 32Red Poker, what would it be?
Steviec7: Well I was going to say the lobby/s needed to be sorted out but after last week’s upgrade it has got a lot better now and I can’t find much to gripe about now.  Oh maybe a few more Omaha tournaments wouldn’t go amiss!  Or maybe a facility to enable private games to be set up whenever I want, via the software like some sites already do I think this would be a good thing to add.

32Red: What’s the worst bad beat story you can remember at 32Red Poker?
Steviec7: lol too many to mention, play lots of games you will get lots of beats so I am used to them…only last night I had Ace Ace called by 35 o/s and he flopped the straight to my set and that was vienna for me!  Probably not good to dwell on bad beats really is it?  I have seen some big stacks go on tilt so often its funny…take it and move on!

32Red: Would you recommend 32Red Poker to your friends?
Steviec7: Yes of course I already have recommended quite a few players to 32Red and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending more!

32Red: Are you subscribed to 32Red’s Poker Blog?
Steviec7: Yes I subscribed a couple of weeks ago.  Some quite interesting posts and it is good to get updates of games/results etc!

32Red Poker: $500 FORUMFEST

Welcome all participating online poker forums to this month’s $500 Forumfest, courtesy of 32Red Poker and running throughout the month of September 2010.

How it works

Each participating online poker forum will run 9x no-limit Texas Hold’em ‘Forumfest’ tournaments, each offering 1500 starting chips and 10 minute blind levels.  Points will be awarded after each game, in reverse order from the number of entrants (e.g. if 10 entrants, 10th place gets 1 point and 1st place gets 10 points).  The buy-in for each tournament is a tiny $3 + $0.30, which go towards each prize pool.

While 32Red Poker sets up all the Forumfest games, forum moderators will ensure that scores are up to date.  Finalists who are found to be unassociated to their respective Forums will forfeit any Final prizes.

$500 Forumfest Final

The top 3 players from each participating online poker forum at the end of September will meet in our $500 Forumfest Final tournament on Sunday 3rd October at 20:00 (UK time).
