EPT Bans Solvers, Reduces Timing: Poker Community Reacts


On December 2024, a $25k buy-in tournament with a $50 million guarantee will be held in the Bahamas during the WSOP Paradise series. Packages are actively being won on GGPoker.

GGPoker's representative explained that a player winning a second $30k package would receive $21k in tournament money, with GGPoker keeping $9k as commission. Phil Laak won his first tournament in 14 years, taking home $380,050 at the Legends of Poker series.

Dietrich Fast offered coaching sessions for $100 for 30 minutes, sparking debate among poker players. EPT has implemented new rules, including reduced thinking time and restrictions on the use of solvers and charts. Daniel Negreanu criticized the parking system at Wynn Casino, noting long queues and additional costs. Michael 'Texas Mike' Monchek played a $10/$20/$40 game on Hustler Live, showing high VPIP and PFR rates.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
