New Jersey Online Poker Thread - Page 56 - Internet Poker

For those familiar with Party Poker (or perhaps the Party Poker Rep can comment), are the MTT payout structures really this ridiculously flat? The $500 guaranteed tournament the rep was plugging currently has payouts as follows:

1) $125
2) $110
3) $85
4) $70
5) $60
6) $50

IMHO, that is AWFUL!

Might as well just agree to chop and make it survivorment.

The $500 $5 guarantee is completely ****ed up. Started at 6 with rebuys until 7. Once 7 hit, one of the tables went on break (and has still not come back 15 minutes later), the other two froze, and my table kept playing with no breaks/no rebuys and the levels froze at 250/500.

Has been going on like this for 15 or so minutes with over half the field frozen out and the others forced to play.

They better issue refunds to all players once they figure this out.

*EDIT* Hard not to wonder if this is their way out of the $500 guarantee they didn't hit (kidding of course)

Clunky, no options, laid out like a video game for Gameboy Advance, get booted as soon as I'm not active for 15 minutes and often what has been less even though the popup says it's been 15.

Still haven't got my $5 for free and their live support was uninformed and rude, which in turn made me be a dick haha.

I STILL cannot even download WSOP's software though. Turned off all blockers, firewalls, antivirus, etc., tried 3 different browsers, still nada.

Can anyone comment on SNG's? Is there enough liquidity? Or do you have to sit and wait a while? What are the highest SNG's that go regularly?

Hi everyone, for those of you playing on Partypoker in the $500gtd, we apologize for the inconvenience. The tournament has been cancelled. We will contact you through support with a satisfactory resolution. We appreciate all of you taking the time to help us test during the New Jersey soft launch period.

As I was typing that I got booted from Ultimate mid tourney.

I got back on after two tries logging in, although it was randomly after it made me contact support.

Ultimate is going to have one, pretty soon according to their website. Once Golden Nugget is up I expect an app since that have a decent app now for free play. Trop is going to have an app, but my understanding is that they are launching casino only no poker at first (anyone know?) I heard party has an app but haven't found anything about it.

If it was the only way to verify your location it'd be absurd, but if it is 1 of many different ways it's actually a really good idea. Impossible to VPN if you have to have your Wi-Fi on so they can ping the computers around you to see what their location is.

The site isn't open entirely yet so it's kind of useless to base any liquidity questions off of a soft launch. I'd check back in a few weeks to get a real answer.

Well I kinda like to know something now. I logged (not really a login, just brought up the software) on to Borgata and it said there were 250 players online. I was wondering how many of those are at SNG's. I plan to drive up Friday and play, but if these problems continue and there is no improvement in SNG traffic, then I'll stay home.

If you have some info about the SNG's, I really will appreciate it.

Also, if you make an account for Borgata now you'll get a free $50 so may as well go ahead. I won't be in NJ until Friday, but have been watching traffic all weekend and got the bonus.

If you don't want to drive up for no reason I'd wait until Saturday and see what traffic looks like Friday. You probably won't be able to get a real idea before then.
