Poker Town - Can't start a Game

I haven't really had problems with it loading either.  Slow as Christmas, yes, but would eventually load.  Then went through a couple of days of it not connecting to the server, even after it was loaded.  Before that, I did have the forced fold issue a couple of times.  Then yesterday I tried to play multiple times but the game simply wouldn't start.  Full room yet the timer would start over again, repeatedly.  At one point I let it run through 5 minutes, trying after each minute to start the game, no luck.  This has the makings of a game that I might actually enjoy, so I really hope that Pogo can work out the issues.
