Well, I've been playing on the Playwize poker site all evening.
I had no problems with the download. I have never played online poker before, but for a beginner the tutorial and the online environment were great. I suspect that the site will appeal greatly to the masses who want to start out playing for small stakes.
For me as a beginner the odds calculators etc worked really well. The stakes that can be played also go so low that lots of fun can be had for very little money, which was great.
The 3D thing was a huge attraction for me. I found myself trying to psych out the players based on what they looked like, and mentally built up personalities for several. I found some Northern Chav particularly annoying, and would have happily set fire to him in his tracksuit, software permitting. This was somewhat harsh, as for all I know he could well have been a little old lady;-)
Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed taking two and a half hours to make $5. It was an altogether more profitable venture for me than PLW has been so far;-)))
I couldn't be more happy with the product at this stage."

Another nice move up, and still PLW remains a "hidden" little share, thats going to wake up when the marketing campaign and PR starts to work soon this month and also next.
Price being held back as CA unload the old positions, but as soon as they are clear, the rises should get bigger and faster :) Lets hope so.

The 500K today should be nearly the last of the CA sells, fingers crossed it should be flying soon if that marks the end.
The tick up at the end of the day would point to perhaps it is :) Roll on some buying pressure tomorrow morning to check it out.

Rumours says a couple of weeks of this present soft launch, before the real official launch end of this month, and the marketing campaign beginning first week of October.
Sounds good, and on using the software and trying it, I am very impressed with it.

L2 strong as well, now 3 v 1 @13.5/14.
If we can break through the 14p offer, we might be away.

Interesting post from AFN :
3ldrechr - 15 Sep'06 - 14:33 - 1370 of 1370
Right we have been on about genuine institutional interest. i believe we have some, very small at the moment but nevertheless i believe Morgan Stanley were the buy of 150K yesterday.
I have mentioned a number of times that on bloomberg you can see where brokers and banks put out indicators for size they want to trade. IIRA if anyone here has access to a bloomberg. Well on that screen yesterday Morgan Stanley put out an indication for 150,000 shares. The only trade i see in time and sales for that size y'day was at 14p, and booked after hours as broker to broker. The market was never 14p bid y'day 14p was the mid price on the open therefore i do NOT believe the transaction to be a sell. I also believe that Winterfloods were the other side of that trade. Now if MS do have an interest i wouldn't be suprised to see the mm's hold the share down until they got what they want (buggers did that on SEG as a lot of the gents here will verify). I will check that screen everyday to se if Morgan Stanley show any further interest.

From AFN........the review reads well :)

Check it out...
It should be a "bells and whistles" launch with a full marketing campaign including press, PR and TV coverage.
To be honest its the speed of the game that really impresses me. Pokerwize have proved that it is possible to have good 3D graphics, with advanced camera angles and fun features within the game to increase communication at the tables and bring real enjoyment to the game, while at the same time maintaining the volume of hands with a very high hourly hand rate.
Will they use the Pokerwize software as the official client to be used for all their Prima poker gaming firms, thereby replacing the current rather pathetic 2D client that is fairly average, even by 2D standards? Is an arrangement already in place between the firms, and if not why not? I'm smelling the money already...

Nice post from AFN, and very true IMO. I can see the PLW 3D interface soon replacing all 2D systems.
If you have not tried in, do, even if only in play for fun mode, its impressive.
TompoL - 21 Sep'06 - 10:38 -
I'm a long term holder. Although I very rarely post here I am a constant lurker and post fairly regularly on PLW on Michael Walters.
I've been playing the game since it was first softlaunched a couple of weeks back and love it. However, last night it dawned on me I had nothing to compare it with.
So last night, with the wife and two kids safely tucked up in bed, I set up accounts with what I understand to be the main competition and played each for half an hour.
I am now utterly convinced about the merits of the PLW version. In comparision the others were slow and user interfaces dreadful. Prior to last night I felt I was over exposed to PLW. I've now decided to "raise just a little".
Roll on 1st October.
Best of luck
TompoL.

A table has been set up by a user where Pokerwize users can meet up and try out all the functions of Pokerwize with other Pokerwize users, here are the directions to find the table.
Once on line "Playwize"
At the Lobby area, switch to "Classic View" the button is located in the top right hand of the main "Let me help you get started" box.
Once in Classic View then click on "Private Games" and then "Cash Games" and you'll start to look at page 1 of xxx
Use advance buttons and move yourself to Page 209 of the Cash Games.
In Page 209 you will find a Table called "Wize"
The password is "poker".
As this is only known to Pokerwize players at the moment through the threads on the BB's, then all players there should be using Pokerwize, so a good chance to try out the VOIP and gestures etc..... I'll be looking in over the weekend, see if anyone is on line at the same time.
