If you sit out at one table, the software should automatically tick "sit out next big blind" on all the other tables. This is a very simple and effective solution.

i like the original idea very much too but he has a point still. if you time out at all tables you should not be instantly sat out at all tables. there needs to be a timer or some other solution

TYTYTYTYTYTY!!!!!



Would be the simplest solution. Just make it so if you time out or accidentally click the wrong button that it will sit you out at next orbit. Also you can add in a yes no warning when the blinds come around again that says:

Sit out all tables, sit in all tables. If you click sitout all tables sit out if you click yes all tables sit in. That will stop you from ever being sat out on all tables because of accidentally sitting out at one.

Also, please if you make a warning, add in a 'remove popup warning' in preferences.

I am not contesting the idea, I was simply trying to point out that the "brilliant" fix still has bugs that need be addressed. I am all for anything that will deter tableblocking and predatory behaviour (the scripters, people who instantly sitout when the fish sits out, etc.)

I am sure there are other "flaws" in this idea, but I think the one that everyone will have the most trouble with is when you accidentally timeout somewhere and don't want to be sat out on all other tables the very next hand because of it.

The simplest fix is just to hire someone to watch the games and give temp/permanent bans to people who refuse to follow the rules. like pokerstars

gwai, there is no such thing as a perfect solution. sit out one sit out all is definitely the BEST solution imo. Of course there will be random bugs and random flaws but there will be with every solution.

The best way to do it is if you sit out at one table (whether it was your own choice or a timeout or w/e) the software would then auto-check "sit out at next bb" on every table. This way you aren't auto-satout at every table. This solution has sooooooo many positives affects on the state of the games. No people sitting out on a table where 2 regs are trying to start a game - therefore more games start. Less people snap sitting out and waiting for a fish to reload. Less (maybe zero?) table blocking. The list goes on.


I hate it when people say stuff like "sit out one. sit out all isn't good because sometimes while multitabling [insert specific situation] and i'll get sat out even tho i don't want to be!!" Of course people will be sat out prematurely or incorrectly in some cases...if they weren't than the solution wouldn't be good enough imo. I don't care if you like to eat while you play and you can only touch your sandwiches with ur right hand (cuz your one of those germ-phobe dudes) therefore you have to use ur left hand on your mouse causing you to scale back to 6 tables instead of 10 but you still want to keep all 10 tables so that when ur done your sandwich you can get back to 10 tabling and you don't want your hourly rate to suffer because you need your sandwiches mid-session because of a very rare health condition. Take a break dude, sandwiches taste better when your watching diners, drive ins, and dives on the food network at 2pm est.

This is a really good idea, and kinda convenient so I don't have to deal with sitting out on every ****ing table. +1111111

Hi to clarify what I'd propose to keep the games flowing are the following options:

sit out and close 1 ring game table on next bb
------------------------------------
sit out all ring game tables on next bb
sit out and close all ring game tables on next bb

If your time bank expires and you time out on one table then the software would remove your privilege to post blinds.
Once you sit back in on the timed out table the privilege to post blinds would be automatically reinstated.

just a side note for the party rep who's paying attention to this thread. I haven't played on party for a couple years because I saw things deteriorating generally.
I checked back today and what I saw is absolutely unbelievable. The first thing I happened to do was check the 3/6 games with default filters. The lobby presented me with ONE SINGLE 6max game that was running and OVER 300 HU cash games with 1 person sitting. 300 HU bumhunters at one level. JESUS CHRIST how can this be attractive to anyone

How can management at party sit back and not be doing something about this, its outrageous

Did you really count to 300?

can just scan lobby with TST to see the number of tables

yes I did I'm a fast counter

I dont get it though, they have the best king of the hill software out there, but dont limit the tables at 3/6 or lower, its mental. 20-30 tables per limit would rake them so much more.

I think there only needs to be 2 buttons to keep things simple, maybe 3 at the most.

-Leave table at bb
-Sit out all tables bb
and possibly
-sit out all tables.

Pretty much this covers everything. If a player wants to leave before the bb comes he can it wont cost him anything, he can just hit the x and close the window. If he doesn't do that and just gets up he will time out and sitout and be gone at the button anyways. I think all it needs is to change the two buttons from:

sit out --> leave table at bb
sitout next bb --> sitout all tbl at bb.

I don't think it is fair that you can be forced sit out on all tables if you are sitting out on 1 table. Right now PartyPoker has probably the worst software period. If you don't have Autorebuy to table max clicked you are pretty much forced to sit out every time you get stacked. Then after you get stacked you have to reload which can be beyond frustrating when you have lots of tables going and you have to time the autopost blind button clicking. Sometimes it takes me like 3 orbits to finally sit back in.

I think the real solution is for party to upgrade their software from 1998 crappyness to present day standards before they even try to implement a solution.

My solution which I am implementing regardless of whether people do the same is not play on PartyPoker period until they get their act together.

maybe you should stop shortstacking?
