Hey,

I have a few questions regarding Party Poker and was hoping someone would be able to help me out.

- Is there any reason for a Canadian to remain playing at FT/Stars or should I move to Party?

- How big of a hit am I taking switching from Rakeback at FT to the rewards at Party considering micro player.

- Are the games considerably softer at Party?

- What is the max tables allowable and are there enough people playing to reasonably multitable?

- How is the support at Party?

Cheers

Didn't work, again, had to reinstall the software, again. After that seems working.

thank you for your suggestion we have forwarded it to some manager who doesnt care and doesnt read your email

have a nice day.
they care about profit, not rake. whatever the best way to increase profit and growth may or may not include a well designed rakeback/bonus scheme.

personally(and im not saying they have it wrong overall), under the current system, i would prefer to play elsewhere. so they've lost my business.

Is anybody here still using my PartySNGHelper script, if so did today's update do something to your "Trophy" icon and cause the script stop working? If it did then all of the button-clicking functions will be transposed (eg: fold instead of call and auto-hide buttons option will be hiding seat 1's "seat open" button instead, etc).

If so can you post here: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/16...l#post26279613

(actually I'm just as interested in if there was no change in behaviour today as it seems odd that it would change back like this and nobody complain - it could just be on my PC? ).

What reason would there be for us Canadians to suddenly stop playing at PS or FTP?? In my case, PartyPoker's drastic tournament changes and guarantee reductions have been horrible, and this month could be my worst ever online, so if the guarantees are reduced yet again, I will have to consider other options such as going back to playing live or playing 25 days a month at FTP for Iron Man medals and high rakeback.

Unless you can grind $4,500 rake in a quarter at Party for the Palladium 30% reward, then FTP's 27% rakeback will be higher for non-grinders.

- Are the games considerably softer at Party?
Only because the best players in the world (i.e., many Americans) were not able to play at Party. But if the US online pros move to another country or cheat via VPN in order to play online, then the games can become much harder because there will be no US fish to offset the US invading sharks.

Quote:

I think 18 tables is the maximum. Others can comment if the cash game or SNG traffic has recovered. For tournaments, there seems to be a lot less traffic since the cancellation of over $7 million worth of Monthly Million tournaments and over $250,000 reduction in qualifier guarantees.

Great for Palladium VIP members, but I've heard complaints about non-VIP support. Toll-free phone support and live chat is available, so it is probably better compared to FTP.

So, I didn't get any points yesterday, like many others. Will those be refunded?

At least for me the software works fine today. No disconnections no nothing.

live support said those should be handled within 24 hours (that was about 6 hours ago)

Nice of Party to inform all the newcomers how incompetent they can be.

SNG traffic at anything above the 11s has dropped off in a huge way over the last year or so and the 11s now have 30-40% of the seats taken up by Russian and East-Euro regs at all times of day.

My account was locked in Party. & I received such e-mail:

I got my cardrush cards yesterday, but no PartyPoints. :-(

Does anyone have an email to support? All I can find are toll-free numbers, and I don't want to spend all evening in a queue.

Anybody having any luck with the "Click to win week" promo? So far I've had 3/3 deposit bonuses (which I obviously won't be using because they're for bingo only...). Meh.

Juk

EDIT: BTW, you have to log into your account using https://secure.partyaccount.com to see the promo (as it doesn't seem to show up from the client pages).

No it's not a joke. Please look up the definition of "money laundering".

What's a joke is you don't dispute anything in the email. Do you think it's actually fine to move money from one wallet, on to a site, only to use the site to move that money to another wallet?
