I read here in the forum a post complaining about 888 Poker.
Turns out I also found everything in 888 a real crap.
I think it's all confusing and I always get the impression that I'm being harmed.
I made some videos talking about the site.
Unfortunately only one of them is in English.

Dude, you make this video with "2 jogadores por dinheiro" text clearly visible just under the price... I don't remember what is the exact text in english version I play on, but I think it is something like "2 players in the money". For the blast, when you get 2x, there only one player is in the money. When price is higher, there can be 2 or 3 players in the money. And it is always written just under the price. It is also clearly listed in the lobby. For 5USD on 1USD buyin blast it is 3.5 for first, 1.5 for second.

So I suggest next time you should spend more time in the lobby or just write to support instead of making untrue videos, where you say "there is no explanation", while the explanation is on the screen ;).

That's my point.
Why do people keep gambling on 888 when we have the clearest and much more reliable poker stars?

I lost 20 bucks at 888 and that's all.
I will never put neither any cent on it anymore.

The blasts are poker lotto now 888 changed the timer down to two minutes on the $1 buy ins only way to win with this sit n go format is to hit a big multiplier right click at the right time my timing is really off as the biggest multiplier I hit was a 10x with over a 1000 played.

In this situation it should be a 3 way tie for 2nd regardless of hole cards. On the bubble with 2 or more people all in the "winner" is the one who has the most chips, but in this case they all have the same chip count which when I've seen it in tourneys means a chop min cash, or in the case of a live tourney I saw on TV the house generously added money so both players got a full min cash.
I've never heard of using the best hole cards as a tie breaker when the chip count is the same, but I guess maybe 888 does that since a 4 way all in on the first hand in BLAST games isn't all that uncommon, especially on the lower multipliers.

you mean that my BB, after which i had 1'450, make me outsider in this situation? ... oh, maybe, didnt think about this.

So, was that the first or the second hand of the game?
I assumed it was the first hand, but there is 36 seconds off the clock, just enough time that if the first hand was instantly folded and everyone went all in right away in the second hand that would account for it as the stacks would not have been even.

I wanted to remark on how 888 Poker is the number 1 most popular poker site worldwide and the reason being, they offer waaaaay more mobility - esp for low stakes players - and opportunity to win big in tournaments, etc. Plus, I think it's better that they don't pump their software up with unnecessary graphics as it slows down the whole system. However, I do agree with you regarding the outdated interface, lol, retro.

A K will be third in above scenario. As Allins always happens after posting the blinds and A K was at BB, so already down $25 to SB i.e. post blinds A K had 1450 chips to go all in vs 1475 (SB). So chip count rule placed A K at third.

I don't think that is correct, the blinds are still part of a players stack so assuming this is the first hand all the players have 1500 chips in the pot. What just occurred to me is their position. In a cash game if there is a chop pot but the pot is an odd amount the person after the button but closest to the button gets the extra chip.

eg: say it's $0.01/$0.02 and the pot is $0.05 and it checks down between the BB and a player in middle position and both players have the same hand the BB gets $0.03 and the other player gets $0.02.

That is established in cash games and would explain why A-Q would get 2nd in a first hand all-in in this situation.
Not exactly fair as I'd rather it be the best non winning hand (AK in this case) or they chop and all get $0.50.
