I see only one 9-handed cash game table (0.01/0.02). Is there a good reason there aren't more 9-handed tables? I prefer fuller tables for cash games.

I hate to basically do free work for Party / Borgata but there are some serious problems that were introduced in one of the recent updates. I hope that at least some of these basic features can be returned.

*********

Sit-And-Go Tournament Lobby:

You used to be able to view how many players were registered and which players were registered for any Sit-And-Go before you registered. They removed that window. Now you have to click the Sit-N-Go to see the list, and that automatically registers you! So if you wanted to find out how many players were in a 6 person SNG, and there are actually 5, SURPRISE!!!! You are now registered and playing whether you were ready or not.

The "filters" don't even have a column showing how many people are registered, only the total number of seats. That's not enough.

This single factor has cut down my SnGs by 80%. I want to plan ahead, and monitor when games are short. I don't want to register for SnGs where I am the only player. That's a waste of time. I also want to see who else is registered before I play.

Cash Game Lobby:

The same thing can be said for the cash games. On the Borgata Skin, I can still see who is on a table before I take a seat. But on the PartyPoker interface, I have to click the table, forcing me to sit without getting to see who's on the the table or which seat I would like.

If you want more action, give players more information. Then more people will register.

Having to constantly check the lobby is so annoying.

if im reading this right i think all you need to do is unclick "group tables " box. the box is below and to the right of the cash game "game name" list. Then you can see single tables and view how many/who is at the table listed off to the right.

from lobby>cash games>nlh> group/ungroup tables. same for sngs just unlick group tables.

No, this is not the same as what I am talking about.

I have already tried both with and without "group tables" selected.

Look at the Borgata skin for cash games. You will notice a window on the right. When you select a table from the list on the left, on the right you can see the list of players for each table. This option is available whether you select "group tables" or not. This option is NOT available on the PartyPoker skin.

I have re-installed both programs a few times. If you can see players per table on PartyPoker, I don't know why I can't. So I'm hoping you just misunderstood me.

thats weird b.c im on party right now and i can see the things that you say you cant. maybe im misunderstanding is this what you're saying you cant see on party/?

Wow where to begin..there is a column that lists 'plrr/sts' if you are not seeing it you may need to reduce the size of the other columns or maximize the lobby. If you want to enable the sidebar: options>advanced>untick 'turn off side panel for Sit & Gos'. If you want to see who is playing.. double-clicking a table opens the lobby but doesn't automatically register you so I am not sure what you are talking about there.

Can't thank you enough for posting this.

There has to be multiple software libraries out there in the wild. My settings are not the exact same, and I never "changed" them after the update, but I was able to at least get player #s / SnG and cash game table lists. Now I am going to see if a reboot will get the SnG table list working.

Also, Double clicking on a SNG group does auto-register, as far as I can tell. If the tables are un-grouped, it just opens the lobby. That seems to be the reason it was auto-registering.

I was about to reply with a screen shot of my own. But I was able to get the cash games fixed with the options changes Bishop suggested.

Whats weird is that I never had that "hide" option selected for SnGs, yet I still don't see the side window.

Would you mind a screen capture of the SnG lobby in your app?

Thanks for taking the time to check either way. Appreciate the help.

One other issue / question:

Does anybody notice that no matter how often you try to resize the columns, they go back to a weird spacing when you switch between tournaments, cash, etc?

I am pretty sure this is a software thing, but it's hard to read the list, so I always re-size those columns. But they go back / don't hold their "width."

yeah that software feature annoys me as well. wish the columns would stay at the widths i want them to stay at.
along with waitlist
along with tourney banners popups.
along with freeze ups
along with wifi location probs

Is there a particular reason why rebuy tourneys typically do not allow for dealmaking? All standard tourneys seem to offer the option from what I've seen. Unless there's something I missing here, I don't see why dealmaking should be restricted to non-rebuy tourneys.

Thanks for posting this picture and reply.

Yeah, now I can see the players per SnG table.

But do you notice how unlike the cash games lobby, the table window on the right does not include the players who are registered? It only includes general information. It would be nice if they made that side window a full one like on the cash tables. Right now you have to open each lobby to see which players have registered.

Has the Party_REP abandoned this thread / forum????? It has been a long time since I saw any replies from them.

It seemed random to me, but I guess you are right: it does seem like it's the rebuys that don't allow it.

I hope the Party_REP will post a reply for us to explain this.

Did anyone notice they used to have a laptop and 50 inch plasma TV available for points and now they've disappeared?

speaking of points. and aside from lackluster things to use your points on...

the point system sucks in general. now maybe im wrong i haven't looked at it too closely but...

When you move up levels you dont earn points at a higher level than your previous level.

Theres no special freerolls at higher levs.

theres really no added incentive to grind to a higher level.

i seem to remember PS had a lot of added features/bonuses/ incentives but wha'evs. maybe its different and much more ****ty since BF.

another topic. ive been having lots of location problems lately and it would be super cool if you got auto unreged from any SNG/MTT that has yet to start anytime you get location bounced.

lastly

Reload bonuses. Ive noticed PP and Borg you usually get 14 days to clear ... but WSOP oct reload bonus gives you 60 days. yeah so .... see you in nov i guess (unless you know who gets here first).

Okterrific, they don't give you more points for higher levels, but they do lower the cost of everything in the store the higher your level is, so essentially you are earning at a higher rate.

The key is, don't go on vacation for a month, lose your level and then buy things in the store.

thats true.. except for the 10,25,50, and 100$ bonus. all priced the same no matter what level you are at.


and i guess this next part does not matter but didnt Pokerstars do both? earn at a higher rate AND lower prices for in store purchases? Again i guess it does not matter b/c 1.party poker /= pokerstars and 2.im not sure what PS has done post BF or 3.what they will do in the nj/us market.

wheres pipes for the rakeback/rewards talk?

If you are a cash only player and refuse to play tourneys it sucks.

Otherwise, converting your points to cash is no big deal. Just spend them on $1-$20 sng tickets, or $1-$200 mtt tickets.

On Party Gold = 12.5% RB, Palladium=15% and Elite=20%.

Borgata only offers $50-$200 mtt tickets, but if you combine it with the grind promo they run, high volume grinders are clearing well over 30% back.

"another topic. ive been having lots of location problems lately and it would be super cool if you got auto unreged from any SNG/MTT that has yet to start anytime you get location bounced."

wtf no, just unreg yourself.

"and i guess this next part does not matter but didnt Pokerstars do both? earn at a higher rate AND lower prices for in store purchases? Again i guess it does not matter b/c 1.party poker /= pokerstars and 2.im not sure what PS has done post BF or 3.what they will do in the nj/us market."

There are so many legitimate things to complain about. Instead, you complain about not having multiplier.

Consider this:

Say you play a moderate level on party for next full year and never make past the second or third tier. Then sometime in 2016, you make elite. As long as you have saved your points, its as if you were elite the whole time.

All a multiplier does is make this scenario not possible,

not sure why your against this?

i play some hu and 6 man t's from time to time. but this is mostly a prob with HU. so i reg and then i get "cant locate you" b4 it fills but before i can unreg someone already regs. seconds count. And then by the time i x out and sign back on ( a bunch of times sometimes) the hut/6man is running and i get blind off until im out in the HU and cannot get location verified for 10+ minutes sometimes lately.

again not sure why the "WTF"? If you're gonna say i cant play and boot me then unreg me and take my money out of play at the same exact time.

would love to unreg myself but sometimes theres no time esp when HU orin a 6man if im 5th person to reg/theres 5 reged when i get told i cant play.

you can call it complaining and thats fair i guess. my point was w out freerolls and points multipliers added when you go up vip levels i just dont see much of an incentive to push to higher levels. thats really my point. more incentives would def get me(maybe others) to play more on PP than i do now.

I'm sorry to get off topic, but my ? Do Borgata Poker bonus offerings apply to Party Poker as well, or are the bonus offerings separate ???

PP bonus offerings and Borgata bonus offerings are separate, as are their promotions.

Think about how it would affect everyone.

It's pretty unlikely that a SNG starts within the 10-30 sec window that it would take you to manually unreg but when it did happen, I think you would only miss a few hands at most, possibly no hands. If it's some serious geo locate problem, and you miss the whole sng bc it started in that tiny widow of time and you couldn't log back in at all....that sucks that you now have to go deal with support and most likely get a refund after lots of headache.

For mtt players it would just make for a bigger pain in the ass for anyone who had pre registered everything they planned on playing that session or day. Some people like to register way in advance. I suspect many players would end up just missing tournaments all together.


You don't get it. From a players point of view, multipliers reduce the value.

BC there is no multiplier, the points you earn today, could be worth the highest vip level, as long as you achieve that level sometime in the future, and don't spend them until you do.

i waited 10 days for that reply?

anyway my wifi location problems resolved themselves somehow. Been good for about 10 days now after having problems since just b4 the gsss series started. It started right after the software update for the gsss series which is a coincident im sure. i made ZERO changes to my set up to cause or to fix the problems. weird.

and yeah during that pain in the ass time there was around 10 times when i reg'd a hu sng and i got "not located in nj" and didnt unreg in time b4 a second person reg'd + i couldnt get nj located until after i was blinded out.

What did i do? i just stopped playing on PP. ez fix. discouraged player goes elsewhere / stops playing poker.

im just so glad im no longer having those problems.

They randomly change their inventory from time to time.
