PartyPoker sitout protest. POSTPONED. See Post #100 PartyPoker sitout protest. POSTPONED. See Post #100

10-25-2013 , 02:48 PM
In light of recent developments on party, and the continual complaints I see in the party threads in regards along with lack of response from party, I want to organize a sitout protest to get some correspondence flowing.

Party, as most know introduced segregation awhile back, but they either failed to implement the measures necessary to protect those tables from abuse or they allow certain players to use them. So now there are normal players playing the in fish pool and clearing out all the fish. Party seems to do nothing about this, which as most of you would agree is pretty crazy.

Here is one extreme case in point, but it is going on 24 hours a day at these tables at all stakes, and with the same few regulars always somehow grinding away on them.

https://www.pokertableratings.com/re...sh=26122899830

Lets do a sitout protest on Friday Nov 1, 3PM EST / 7PM GMT for a duration of 2 hours. The aim should be shutting down all of 2/4 and 3/6 and wider into 1/2, 5/10 depending on how many players join into this. The point of the protest will be open the awareness of party and to get some answers to both this and other long standing questions that have been ignored by other players, like:

1) What are they doing about this abuse of segregated tables
2) Where do the funds go that are confiscated
3) Why did Party say they were going to be active on the forums and then ignore all the most important questions.
4) An explanation into the decrease of party points' worth without any warning, twice.
5) etc etc


Lets think up the most important questions that players have wanted answers to for a long time and post them and follow through with sitout.

During these 3-4 Days they are winning sick amounts and its really disgusting to se what is going on. The worst part though is that party support (doh?) isnt doing anything about this behaviour. So much do they care about their poker ecology! I have reported this problem many, many times but as expected. They do **** about it!

Two examples of cheaters. First of all we have our old Romanian friend WKD3 aka beg4mercy_. He is now fishing in the fish pool jumping from new account to new account. Since he has been b/e his hole Life this must feel like christmas for him. I found him playing on "IdoGrannies" and "tripo11". I have certainly missed some nick names he has played cause there are many cheaters out there.

Next one is a pretty good aggro hungarian player. Started to see him as "MerloSpace". Then he jumped to "kommendante" -> "str4berry" -> "N01deayo" -> and atm he is playing "IIIlllIll".

Feel free to look up these nick names at PTR and I promise you guys will also be disgusted. I have as already mentioned reported these players several times to support. Feels kinda hopeless!

At least we now that when Jeffrey promises sth he promises

I mean dunno who you are but we all know that Party doesn't care about cheaters,scumbags,bots,colluders (add anything to the list). Probably most of long term posters here at some point tried to e-mail the support/ was reporting ceater/bots/colluders and suprise ,suprise Party never cared.

I mean it is sick but it is Party Poker and they don't care so why would you waste your time fighting for a case you can't win?? I mean it isn't like bwin.party has any integrity whatsoever. It isn't P*/FTP, it isn't even 888.

Reporting the segrgation cheaters to Party is like reporting bots to Ipoker. Go watch some TV show,whatever if you do want to waste your time.

And somehow there are always good Romanians that are playing there, whatever there trick is it's worth it because these guys are pulling in the easiest possible money, 10x easier than when online poker was in the USA.

new account of this hungarian scumbag who hasp played in the segregated pool day for the last 6 months or so. Probably gets new accounts all the time. Before ptr didn´t track the segreagted pool but now they do. The amount of money theese guys win because of this is huge. And Partypoker just let them do it, it´s sick.

Party says they´re doing an investigation but is it really that hard just to remove him? It´s pretty easy to see on the playingstyle that this guy isn´t a recreational player

Look at this hand lol guy opens UTG for 500 then calls off 3500 with JQo. The things that are going on in this site is absolutely ridiculous. How can any player who is playing in the "regular pool" trust a site seeing things like this happen. For all we know all these Romanian or Hungarian accounts that keep raking up all this cash could be Party poker accounts.

Not to mention the segregation was a secret and was unraveled through the cooperation of many players. For all we know they would continued to attempt hiding this fact until they were caught. Really makes it even more seem like these accounts are Party poker owned accounts. Maybe they found a much more profitable revenue stream now.

another guy abusing system or "Party account". 20k in 3 days. seems easy enough doesn't it?

Now I feel ashamed to still have money on this site, and am desperately questioning whether there is any point to leave $ here. How can a company **** it up this bad? How are you going to regain the trust of people like us, or do customers like me simply have no value to your company? I don't know. Why don't you give me an answer? Or I guess you don't have to. You never have lately.

To prove the point current Head of Poker Jeffrey Haas made like 2 months ago posts when he promised changs for better, better communication (LOL),etc. they lured some players to play there again.
You see it is with them all the time like that they make some sneaky changes where they screw us badly (suprise,suprise) and the list goes on and on.
When they promise changes for better, well they promise cause that are just words. The promises are to trick some poor ******s to deposit and play there again, they never act on what they promised.

Lets be honest we, who still play there,act like paid hookers cause we get ****ed over and over again.

If you see a guy playing like a typical reg and just hoovering up money maybe you should kick him out of the pool. But no they let them sit there a week at least.
So now regs that´s been losing can get alot of their losses back because of this. Oh and some romanians and hungarians who just gets new accounts all the time. Wow the Party guys that is handling this must be some of the dumbest jokes in the poker industry

words can't describe how disgusted pokerplayers feel, when they get to know of something like this. you know, even the fish that u care about so so much at party.

YOU created this opportunity to cheat unsuspecting players. players, that trusted the integrity of your business, when they sat down at one of your segregated tables.

hey stars, cant you just buy them too pls?

I bet party software is so messed that if you find out the names of the segregated tables you can trigger a software to give the client a command to open that table. Someone that is good with this software design can you tell if that is possible? I haven't played on party hardly at all for a 6-8 months, but this situation is so sick. Demand answers to some important questions.

like
1) What are they doing about this abuse of segregated tables
2) Where do the funds go that are confiscated
3) Why did Jeffrey Haas say he/and party rep were going to be active on the forums and then ignore all the most important questions.
3) etc etc.

I won't dictate the questions but I think we should put together a small list of the most important questions that players want. Maybe it might finally get some dialog flowing.

Wonder how these guys get their new accounts? Are they doing some sort of promotion on eastern europe poker sites and buying old/unused accounts or what?

You received a PM for the first. Nothing for the second. The third post received an infraction as the polite "warnings" were ignored.
10-25-2013 , 03:49 PM
Probably in cause requested withdraw of my full bankroll 2 days ago. If they don't process it till Monday will cancel it and participate in the process.

...Lets do a sitout protest...

I would be on-board to join in your protest, however that might be a challenge as I am limited to the web browser version and I think Party recently broke the Java version check. (or maybe they for some reason increased the Java version requirements -- can't imagine WHY though, since they have not changed [and probably never will change] that Instant Play version's code )

What significant turnout do you expect from a proposed sitout that is announced only 3 days prior to the suggested date?

Well I didn't think it was like running a marathon where you need a bit of time to work up endurance...

In all seriousness though, even if we get 15-20 people at a minimum it does make an impact. And when those people sitout at the table they can explain to others playing why and they can also join. This was done once before and it worked fine, what is the alternative? Party doesn't seem to do anything and players continue to post about it and complain about it. At least this way some stance is taken. Please just try and spread the word.
10-25-2013 , 11:49 PM
so what do u do? buyin to a ring game and sit out the whole time?
10-26-2013 , 12:12 AM
can you add the party point scam (2 times party point decrease without warning in 6 months) that player were victim of with the reasons for the sitout

im in btw

Correct, buy in and sitout at as many tables as you can, and tell the other players at the tables why you are sitting out to hopefully get them to also sitout at more tables...

Hopefully a rep comes here and starts addressing some things so we don't have to take it this far, but if they don't then we need to take a stance.

And yes I believe the points should also be asked, I don't have any points atm so didn't even notice the big changes there. brutal to reduce value without even giving a warning to the players.
10-26-2013 , 02:58 AM
Sit out at as many tables as you can whilst constantly getting booted due to sit out timer and the client freezing is going to be hell.
10-26-2013 , 03:23 AM
It looks like those abusers are creating new accounts each time once their old account is in the reg pool? That's disgusting ... I wasn't aware this was going on ... on the other hand it shouldn't surprise me as its partypoker.

I assume they are not constantly creating new neteller, creditcard or banking accounts though? Just check if a neteller account was used depositing into multiple player accounts, ban those accounts and freeze the money.

This company must be run by the most ignorant persons ever. Creating a segregation in order to protect the recreational player but not caring about it being abused.
10-26-2013 , 04:10 AM
im in. but there is a small problem. we will be able to do it only in reg pool. Im pretty sure fish pool with all these "abuse regs" will continue to play in a standard mode.
10-26-2013 , 04:27 AM

but i'm not sure the time is the best?

why not do next friday or saturday starting like 7-9PM CET when it's one of the peak times for the week

Do you expect people to take you seriously when you post crap like that?
I don't play on party but I am offended since I am from one of those countries.
I'm not a mod but shouldn't he get a warning for posting something like that?
What if you were from one of those 2? Would it be your fault that you happened to be born there?
Also you do realize that regs from banned countries will simply relocate and you just lose the fish but not the good regs?

Mishanjka, the point is not to stop the segregated tables from going, it is to raise awareness to party as clearly there is some communication barriers between departments etc.

And lessu I know what you're saying, but I don't think it will make a huge difference. From what I remember around 14:00CET is the busiest point of the day, or the start to it, and by 7CET the tables are pretty dead. Have things changed since then? Either way, I think if the tables are all clogged on monday and they are losing x-amount of money it will raise there awareness...

2pm CET on a monday is one of the slowest times of the week

peak time seems to be around 11pm CET

doing this for couple of hours starting 7-9PM CET on a friday or saturday would draw the biggest crowd, imo
10-26-2013 , 06:08 AM
well, sunday would be busiest obviously but it's a holy day for grinding only

Can do this after this Wednesday as already qualified for some major events and have a grind planned.
