I am definitely up for an option to be able to sit out next bb at one single table and close it, either manually or automatically. I believe it is necessary whenever you feel that you do not want to keep playing at a certain table, while multitabling.

Not having that possibility at all would damage my sessions, really, because I would have to be really really onto the table that I was to close, as I cannot click the sitout box without the big chance of it affecting tables that I want to keep playing at.

I think that this is obvious, imho.

How on earth do you show villains cards in the replayer? They are blocked. And when you go all in villains cards are also blocked. I cant find the option, any help please?

install HM2/PT4

So the party software does not allow it? all other sites do but not party?

If there were a site where you got 100% rakeback and it had the best poker software imaginable, would you play there if all your opponents were playing GTO poker and it was totally impossible to make any money in the long run?

If you play poker to swoon over rakeback levels and/or get giddy over quality poker software, then clearly this is the site for you...

If on the other hand you play poker to make money then you have to look at what options are available, weighting up the pros and cons of each site, and then make a decision on which site you think will be the most profitable to play on... Clearly for some regs the answer come out to be Party.

They seem more "anti-reg" than most sites (read the complaints in the 888 2+2 thread in this forum) and have a table-cap of 6 tables. It's a long time since I've played there so it might be fixed now, but at one time the poker client was the most resource hogging I've ever come across (baring only WSEX).

If you play SNGs you might as well forget it: the blind structures are lolbad, it's hard to get any games going as they offer 2^97480874089 different SNG formats and in general the SNG traffic if pretty low in all but peak times / microlimits anyway.

Juk

I suspect that one reason partypoker is so laggy is because they essentially have integrated a browser in the client. Since constructing internet browsers isn't their core competency, there's bound to be bad programming in there.

But the lists of bugs and absurdities is endless.

Can something be done about the advanced action buttons? There's one for outright fold and one for check/fold. Is that necessary? Otoh, when you re facing an all in, your only advanced action available is folding; you can't check to call. This is just a poorly thought out gui.

Also, for the nth time, make the layout files that affect element positioning publically available! I want to mod the client more to my liking and I can't.

The emoticon files in the \PartyGaming\PartyPoker\Images folder have been animated gif at least since dec.2012. And there funny. Guess the programmers back then didn't have the skill to finish the job.

unable to log in, still gettign that 101 error. uninstalled it like 39 times, fix it (bwin.be)
pretty much at the point where i'm really tempted to cash out my entire roll and leave party for good, wp

oh well, will just post it another time:

Not sure if this is the right place to post, please direct it to the responsible department if it's not.

On Pokerstars and FTP, one popular variant form of poker appears to be missing on Party. No Limit Omaha H/L is extremely popular in a SNG form on Pokerstars and this popularity has extended to MTTs as well.

When can we expect PartyPoker to start spreading NLO8 MTTs?

Thanks

-NLO8 player

Traffic at Party is absolutely minuscule in comparison. Would be pointless.

I haven't played on Party in years, but according to PokerScout, the traffic on there is comparable to FTP.

FTP has a pretty diverse Omaha 8 schedule with around 30 MTTs daily MTTs ranging between $1.10 to $26 buyins. On weekends, there's are an additional $109 PLO8 and $109 NLO8 with a $5k and $2.5k guarantee respectively.

From what some friends that play on Party, the Omaha 8 offering is only PLO8 and there's something like 4-5 tournaments in a day. This is a gap that they're missing - as long as the traffic is comparable to Full Tilt's (which is pretty damn tiny).

Presently, I believe there's a $6 PLO8 rebuy that runs every Sunday with a $5000 guarantee.

As long as the tournaments are not single-table tournaments (effectively SNGs), I think offering them will not only attract new players (such as myself), but also give players an option to play games other than NLHoldem (which is what the trend seems to be).

I usually play on WPT but I'm almost done with all remaining bonuses, so gave main PP skin a try to see if it's really that bad.

Well; it ran smoother than FTP without a single LAG, disconnection or anything negative you can come up with. I played three 2-3 hrs sessions spread over two days, so there's more behind it than just a hot run.

(table layout is all but reg-friendly IMO, but that's different story)

seriously, **** partypoker, ****ing laggiest software ever and constant crashes and in the end this...never touching that piece of **** again

Elizabeth has exited the session.
XXX:*DOB
Sunil:*Give me a moment while I retreive your account details.
Sunil:*I have your account with me.
Sunil:*XXX, can I call you and speak to you regarding your account.
XXX:*I would rather have it in script
XXX:*so I can show my staker the verdict
Sunil:*I see that it is closed permanantly, as you have violated the policy by creating a Real Money account when you were uder age.
XXX:*yes, hence why I made a new account when I was not underaged anymore
Sunil:*XXX, when this policy is violated, you will not be allowed to open any other account. On the old account, when we have asked you to send an Identity card copy, you did not send.
XXX:*yes I was underraged at the time
XXX:*many years ago
XXX:*on the new account I provided all the ID that was required
XXX:*twice
Sunil:*Which delayed the verification process, due to that your account was on hold. Now that you have sent documents on the new account, we were able to tally and verify your identity.
Sunil:*Am sorry but this decision will remain final and unchanged as per Terms and Conditions.
XXX:*why was I not informed of my accounts when I registered?
XXX:*and why is this happening when I am withdrawing money
Sunil:*The system checks all the accounts, however, due to a high number of accounts created. It also sends few account to review manually, that is when we have come across your old account.
XXX:*I thought it was acceptable as I have little to no traffic on my underaged account
XXX:*which was permanently inaccessible
Sunil:*After a thorogh research, we had to take a decision to block your information.
Sunil:*We have made every possible attempt on the old account to verify you. After we spoke to you, our agent asked you to send an Identity copy which was never recieved.
XXX:*this was at least 5 years ago when I was an underaged child
Sunil:*I just want to say that this decision is final and we will not be able to make an exception in this case.
XXX:*how can I access the funds in my account
Sunil:*XXX, the funds will remain confiscated as you have registered an account at our site with invalid details.
Sunil:*At the moment, I can only say that an amount of $25.00 will be refund as per policy, which was deposited on the old account.
Sunil:*Apart from this, is there anthing else I may assist you with?

Cant help it . Sites have a serious Policy on Minor. It will cost them their License (& Awards) . This bloke tried to inject some clarity into proceedings. I have seen far more clueless.

the underraged account was 5 years ago which got instabanned, hence I made a new one like 2 years ago

Let me get this clear : you are playing while requesting your account to be unlocked ?

no, had account suspended a few days ago when I was making a query about inter account transfers, then asked about the suspension today

I think you are right about the structure being weird...

Personally I think partypoker could make two changes that would solve this:

1- Currently tables are killed if a certain number of players leave the table depending on the number of players on the tournament.
If partypoker kills tables not by having few players but by killing the table with least hands played since the start of the tournament it would put all players in equal status within the tournament.
Would only implement this after the late join period obviously.

2- Players stall a lot on the bubble even when hand by hand is in place.
If partypoker reduces the time bank during hand by hand period only to max 30 seconds would make the bubble play faster and we would not have to wait for every short-stack to waste their time bank for no reason because time doesn't matter when hand by hand is in place.

My two cents on this matter, hope someone from partypoker reads this

anyone else get this error when trying to reg for SNGs? "You may register for this tournament after you complete the registration process for the other tournament" I have no other tournament registration open

wow, this lobby lag becomes worse and worse

Sounds good, but difficult to implement.
As an aside does anyone remember when tables would close by highest number (over 18 months ago ) When I asked support why it had been changed they told me that they had never closed tables in numerical sequence. !!

There is another reason for the shorties time banking, so the next blind level hits other short stacks between the dealer button and them, on the following hands, so forcing those players allin before they themselves are forced allin.

Still not working for me, anybody have the link to the FAQ thread if there is one, still says not in NJ after I installed the plug in...as well I signed up for Party Poker...but now want to play on Borgata Poker but it is the same thing can I sign up for Borgata Poker as well?

Yes, I have been getting the same bug intermittently for a few days now. I think (but can't confirm) it happens after you try and register for more than the max # of tournaments. After that, you will not be able to register for any more tournaments until you restart the client.

Never frequent this thread but just decided to withdraw after my stakee ran up the account a bit. Found out there is 3% vig on withdrawals. Are you kidding me? Insta-withdrew entire balance and will never return.

WTF are you thinking management?

While PartyPoker has a lot of long-standing problems, this lag/freezing/disconnection bug is the #1 priority for me. With five players left and four seats for the $5,000 WPT Montreal package, my lag problems became worse and as a result, I became the bubble boy and got screwed out of $5,000. A similar thing happened in the WPT Borgata satellite when I made it to the final five, but the software froze and I helplessly watched my AA, JJ, etc. get auto-folded. Needless to say, I have since withdrawn my entire cash balance.

I was hoping to talk to you or other PartyPoker manager at WPT Montreal this week, but it seems that PartyPoker has outsourced their events management and there were no full-time employees available to give feedback to. I briefly saw Gil and Warren Lush having meetings, but it seems that they quickly disappeared to fly to New Jersey. With PartyPoker back in the US, shouldn't future events in WPT Montreal/Borgata/Las Vegas be staffed by full-time PartyPoker employees and at least one manager available to give feedback to, instead of contractors who have no idea about what's going on with PartyPoker? Most of the WPT Montreal qualifiers were recreational players who did not make it to Day 2 and have opinions about the "new PartyPoker," but it was pointless to give feedback to the two contractors.
