A new structure in rebuys which was rolled out seems ultraslow for small stakes, resulting long games for small prizes, few rebuys and overall not tempting (looks like first one doesn't even get guaranteed full despite being Tuesday). Too bad, just started to play them all and now have to skip them all I guess unless fixed back.

huh? with 5k starting stacks, 10k addon and longer levels they look much better already? Low stakes on party are in much need of improving structures and this is a decent start.

SECURITY TOKEN or 2FA protection on our accounts please.

I think, especially mid term this is important thing to add

While the software has improved its still clunky as hell and randomly spazzes out. There is no memory of table positions or where the lobby should open after each shutdown. Only reason people are still loyal to stars is their software is light years ahead of yours. Instead of giving 6 figure sums to high stakes regs who will play anyway invest more heavily in getting your client up to industry standard levels. Can't believe how long it takes to improve the playing experience.

I went to the offices last week and saw a huge dossier from the software team on the new software that is coming. I can't give an ETA, I suggested having it ready by May for Pokerfest, but they wanted to make sure that it was rolled out perfectly and without bugs. Simply, the software of the lobby and everything pre getting to the table will be optimised to the finest degree. It looks way better and I know that lets say by summer it will feel chalk and cheese with whats currently there. All of the software additions that I've seen are the best in the industry imo, I love the bet slider button, but perhaps more importantly for ecology, the phone app seriously is fantastic. The features to help you multi table on it are great and support listened to a lot of feedback from me+others to make sure it was sick. The new software will imo, keep that standard.
Hope you're as good

kozirok wins 39,916 chips from the main pot with a straight, Ace to Five.


I was suprised that kozirok was able to reopen the bet/raising action since the ai from liftededge seemed to be to small to be a 'real' raise. So either my poker rules knowledge is slacking (nvm it that case) or it might be a bug.

I haven't read the thread so I am not sure whether this feedback is already considerated, but I would like a feature were we can export or retrieve the hand history in txt format. It should happen automatically but party has this bug on my pc that sometimes when I hop tables PT4 stops importing hands and then there is a gap in my tournaments HHs. Also personally I think it makes more sense to have the HH in My Account instead of Missions. Also I would like to see a search function for tournament ids or if possible player names or adding a tab at the friend page to see at what tables / in which tournament he's currently playing.

And +1 for increasing account security as suggested by U shove i call.
Hey, as far as I can see, this shouldn't be able to be raised, unless anybody can see differently, I'll send to the software team to check that it gets fixed.

Last powerfest a lot of 55s were not converted to pf events, and didnt get increased gtds, which was a mistake imo, so it would be great if you could change that this time.
03-07-2017 , 06:54 PM
The late events aimed for Canadian players should have shorter levels. I believe most of them overlayed by quite a bit and even for our time zone they ended too late.
03-07-2017 , 07:02 PM
Totally agree give 55s some tender lovin

Why be so scummy, gotta catch up to 888 and ps?

New prizestructures seem quite extreme. At least 8-max 6 paid 1st place gets almost 2 times what 2nd place, and since it is also used in PSKOs heads-ups are quite huge.

I've seen the provisional powerfest schedule and it doesn't have $55 events, but I know (because I've also suggested it recently) that management know that its very important for a $55 event to be in the schedule and grow, I think previous attempts of starting with smaller guarantees isn't gto. If theres going to be a really good $55 event, it has to start with a chunkyish guarantee. Possible either this or next powefest there can be a daily, big guarantee $55 event that afterwards gets "left" in the schedule, rather than just adding it one day and expecting it to be successful and having an inevitable overlay.

There has been a lot of strides made in terms of activating more Canadian players, there is a huge millions event coming up literally just before Powerfest that will help with new sign ups, so I think that its important to leave some events that have good structures for that market, but I do agree the later events on the pwerfest schedule should likely be quicker because everybody's playing body clock is a little bit earlier during these two weeks.

Can't see this. I can confirm there is a really good new loyalty system coming, but can't confirm the exact details or when it will be coming out. As a representative for online players, I'll obviously make sure people have more than enough time for their points to be converted, or that they are naturally converted. The new system is designed to make it simpler for players and to give more back, so would be counter intuitive to put a lot of people off by expiring their points. Will report back on this closer to the time of the new system being announced.

Can't personally do this. For anybody else reading here, if you are doing a deal in a PSKO its important to realise that the tournament ends when the deal is concluded unless there is money left to be played for FROM THE $ PRIZEPOOL, I have messaged internally to see if its possible to make sure theres always a minimum that needs to be played for to ensure the bounties get played out, but as it stands this isn't the case.

The satts have ended - promo period has finished
There will be ad hoc promos for packages between now and June - keep an eye on the promo page for more details

Regarding the security token I believe this was discussed a few months ago and I confirmed we will not be using the security tokens going forward - we have discontinued our deal with the supplier
The relevant team were looking into alternatives however I have no further feedback to share

Pads this is where alot of the frustration comes from, one of the biggest poker sites fails to have a $55 tournament in a series? What is going on? I've said this numerous times, the structure with how games are offered on the site with the static buy in's, just doesn't work. They seem to have such a problem with adding $11's 33's and $55 buy in tournaments.

The current structure does not give players a chance to play higher games / build a bankroll etc, the jumps from $5 to $22 to $109 and higher are just too big. On top of all that, most tournaments are just 9 handed freezouts with 6 max turbos every now and then, making the schedule even more tedious. I would bet alot of money if party added more buy ins with bigger gtd's the site would be better off, however the team seem to be totally against this.
03-09-2017 , 07:40 AM
55s even rake a bigger %age. Seems totally backwards not to push them
03-09-2017 , 08:57 AM
Agree that jump from 22 to 109 is too large. Especially with no rebuys in schedule, they're effectively close to 55 at 22+r level. Might be also beneficial to add 2,2 -> 11 -> 55 -> 215 (-> 1050) satellite tree which would support 11 / 55 buy-ins I suggested earlier, now it could also feed Title Fights.
03-09-2017 , 10:06 AM
When is the next PowerFest?
I see some PowerFest tourneys on the regular schedule now and i am wandering when all the tourneys will be available in the client? TY
