BigFooty.com Queen of Poker Open for Registration

- Thursday Night - No-Limit Texas Holdem - Online -

http://www.hansapoker.com/bigfooty/

Date: Thursday 10th April

Time: 7:30 PM (19:30) AEST

Info: Anyone may play - you do not have to be a BigFooty member to play.

Free to enter, all players start with 1500 chips. If you should lose your 1500 starting chips in the first 40 minutes you have the chance to rebuy into the tournament for $5 and you'll receive another 1500 chips.

At the end of the "rebuy period", you can purchase a double add-on ($5 for 3000 chips) to help you progress through the final table.

Blinds raised every 8 minutes.

Prizes: We're guaranteeing a minimum $500 prize pool, but we estimate the prizepool may grow to $1000 or even $2000!

Payouts: Click for the payout schedule: http://www.hansapoker.com/tournaments/payout

To Play: To avoid disappointment hit this link to download the small poker software program now:
http://www.hansapoker.com/bigfooty/

(Scroll down to the bottom of that page first for more info.)

A note about Anti-Virus Software: If you are running Nod32, please turn it off before installing the HansaPoker software. This issue is being rectified.

A note about download managers: For those getting a weird file extension on the downloaded file, eg "efw", turn off your download management programs.

1. Download and install the software from the link above. Run the program and register a new account - no money or credit card details required at registration. You will then receive an email from the support staff with helpful information.

2. Log in (if you haven't already been logged in by the system at registration) and click the blue "Scheduled" button in the group of buttons on the lower left of the window.

3. Then click the "Specials" option in the "Choose Game" panel.

4. BigFooty.com Queen of Poker will appear in the list of tournaments to the right of the "Choose Game" panel. Double click that entry.

5. Click "Register" in the window that pops up.

6. Show up on Thursday night and play! In the meantime you can also take part in any other game in the system.

7. If you think you'd like to take advantage of the re-buy or add-on option please fund your account with a few dollars first. Rebuy options only last about 10 seconds as they hold up the entire table while you re-buy. For example, I have $25 in my account just in case but I'll probably limit myself to a rebuy and an addon if I remain eligible (i.e. lose all of my chips early :) ).

A note about re-buying:

There is only a limited amount of time to rebuy - 5-10 seconds – as the game on that table is held up while you are given the option.

Therefore its recommended that you deposit before hand if you think you might like to rebuy during the game.

Thanks.

I got the email but when I downloaded the software Nod32 immediately quarantined it

"Variant of Win32/PTCasino."

Please explain. :cool:


EDIT: Kaspersky online however just said it was clean but still. Not the best thing pop up on my screen.

Meh just tried to install it on the back on Kaspersky saying it was ok and it opens a dos screen and goes no where from there.

This is successful for me so far. . .


EDIT2: ok re-downloaded with Nod32 disabled and upon installation even Comodo is saying "Defense+ malware heuristic analysis has detected possible malware behavior in (the file directory)"


I dont think I'll go any further. Block and wait for some kind of explanation. :confused:

Not sure - I will point the tech guys at this thread. I downloaded it fine last night, as have thousands of other people.

It doesn't worry me but if you are ultra-paranoid about it wait for the word from the tech guys.

Response:

Yes- its very clean and safe software - nod32 have caused us problems
whereas no other anti viral software programs have. Please advise users of
nod32 to disable it whilst installing.

I actually emailed playtech, the software providers, (www.playtech.com) about
it today and the response from them was:

"Hi,

This issue is actually known to Playtech and they are apparently working on
fixing this."

So I would not worry about it. Visit www.playtech.com to see the people who write the software.
 
some more info ...

playtech, have contacted nod32 and made them aware of the issue. unfortunately moving the software application to the white list, is not as simple as unchecking a box, but the wheels are in motion.

playtech are a listed company on the london stock exchange and they run the 3rd biggest poker network (in terms of player numbers) which hansa poker is apart of, so you can rest assured that the poker application is not malware.
