Finally figured it out yesterday after receiving the INVITATION ONLY invitation from Party Poker site.
Both Borgata and Party Poker are/were controlling certain play on their sites at least for the first 3 days. Accessibility to the gamut of the site is based on this invitation.
You can setup the software, but you may not be able to get everything to function. Once you get the INVITE, it is smooth sailing. The INVITES were based upon a number of things with the primary being the signup for information that you did a few days before the soft launch. You were placed on a list.
Because NJ DGE has limited the sites to 500 players at a time during the soft play, Borgata and Party anticipated this. Although haven't seen that many players at a time on any site. Max seemed to be about 150. Haven't checked Poker Scout but doubt if they are tracking yet.
As explained above, the two sites share player pool and you have to have a separate player name for each. You can only sign on one site at a time to be in that player pool.
The threads above are saying that PT4 is working. Would like to see a screen shot of the vpip numbers, etc. If this is true Borgata/Party should announce that the HUD devices can be used. It is only fair to players signing into the site(s) that they know this is happening. At that point a player can choose to play on a site that allows HUD's and one that doesn't like Ultimate.
The knowledge of this and the debate on "to HUD or not to HUD" will definitely effect the recreational player. Why would a rec player, without the means or desire to figure out the HUD software play on a site where there is a perceived disadvantage. As we know, not all poker players are 2PLUS2 "in the know" players.
Also, the questions on this thread are becoming increasingly redundant. It is time soon to create a FAQ at the top of the thread to answer these questions. We know 2PLUS2 hit and missers hate to read all the threads.
