I am sure the answer is to bad so sad, what were you doing letting someone else play with your blackberry....lol

I had 2.1M in winnings and let someone else play a game and they decided to select new game. There isn't anyway to get all my cash back is there???

;(

Nope. Don't worry, you're a good enough player to get it back. Always remember: never let ANYONE touch your blackberry.

I have been trying to submit my final score and it never connects I even went to magmic and joined the forums but it still wont work ??

This is for the first texas hold em game sorry

has anyone had problems with the in holster mode after downloading the first texas hold 'em. my handset won't do any in holster and i was wondering if this may have affected it.

Slammed: What carrier are you on and are you on a BES?

Rodney: What do you mean that your holster function does not work? Does it not function when the game is running or that your holster function is not working at all even if THK2 is not running?

I mean the sleeper function no longer works. I am using the oem holster and it seems like one day it stopped working. The only thing I've changed on the bb was to add the game to it. Sorry for being so vague.

I downloaded Texas Hold'em on my Blackberry, but I'm not sure if I'm just playing or it is a real game? When I buy $500, is it going to be charged on my bill?

No; it is not real money.

Hello!

I have just bought this game from the Magmic site... but the online (multiplayer) option doesnt work at all... any help?

I have a BB Pearl8100

Thks a lot!

Thanks!

What does the error message say, when you attempt to connect?

Have you already created a username at Magmic Games : BlackBerry: Games and Cell Phone: Games ?

I have the same problem as well, i dont have the play online option.

I have registered a username 2 months ago but when I try to add my pin to get the game code, it doesnt let me do it.

Question:
Everytime you restart you generally get $500 cash, I've had 2x now where it says a message (Unfortunately, I'm too excited to start the game that I flip by the message with out reading it) and then I start with $1000. Anyone had that before and/or know why it starts with $1k? Just curious.

It's for the new tournament they are running, for WES.

If you start a new game and lose all your money deliberatly, as soon as youve lost it hit esc and the menu will still have continue, go to reset bank balance and continue will still be there, go to continue and it will say you have too much money, try a harder table and then kick you out, you can then start a new game with $1100

Dont feel too bad about losing your $2.1 million. I lost $22 million by letting someone play with my BB....

Lesson learned!

there is a 10% service charge, so you will be charged 550 dollars.

I have been grappling with the "unable to connect to the server" error when attempting to go multiplayer/online with THK2.

I have found a solution, that once applied to my BB, has fixed the problem and I am now able to go multiplayer/online with the THK2 game.

Though I'm not sure how frequent the "unable to connect to the server" error is, or how often this solution will solve the problem, I thought I would share my success with the forum.

I have a BB which used to be company owned before I purchased it. When it was part of the company, it was connected to their BES. Though the former company wiped the BB clean, the old IT security policy remains on the BB unless you take specific steps to remove it.

If you have a BB which was formerly connected to a BES, you may have an IT security policy in place which could be prohibiting you from connecting you to the THK2 server. That was the problem with my BB.

The site which goes into detail on how to resolve the issue is here:
Remove IT Policy - BlackBerryFAQ

After having applied the steps on the site above, I am now able to go online/multiplayer with THK2.

Please note that if you are still connected to a company BES you do not want to follow the instructions on the above site.

However, if your BB is no longer connected to a company BES but used to be, you are having problems connecting to the THK2 server, you may have a problem with an old IT security policy, and the above site may be of some assistance.

Best success

The Street Cred Contest is a single player contest where the player who posts the most cash by the end of the month wins the top prize. To play, go to MULTIPLAYER, CONTESTS, and then JOIN PUBLIC from the THK2 main menu. Check this page often to view everyone’s progress.

-Beat the Pro Contest
Beat the Pro is a Multiplayer contest that you can play on our Public Tables. Every couple of months there’s a new Poker Pro for you to find, play, and beat for prizes. This month’s Poker Pro is Bounty Bob of Miner 2049er fame.

After months of searching through futuristic radioactive mines, Bounty Bob kicks back with his little know hobby: Texas Hold ‘em. Bounty Bob’s bold hold ‘em style often makes people wonder whether or not really has a hand. Rarely is there a situation in which Bounty Bob doesn’t place a hefty bet to see where his opponents are at.

Online Controls
Playing against live opponents brings a different spirit of play than in the standalone game. Chatting, taunting, and trash talk are all part of the experience too! If you’d like to chat, press the message button (usually the “M”) and type away. Make sure not to do it while it’s your turn to act because it slows down the pace of the game.
