This really needs more attention. These are the only possibilities I think:
1. The software is UNintentionally bugged and all players involved are equally affected; MAYBE multitabling somehow bugs the software, maybe something else. (party fastforward tables are EXTREMELY fast btw when you press fold and theres enough players in the pool, the new hand is legit instant. so I wonder if its this speed that results in the bug where multitablers getting axed, I think it is plausible, if someone who multitables (and gets less BU/CO) wants to test this, and then over a decent sample of 1 tabling all of a sudden theres no issue, then I would feel pretty good to conclude its a multitabling bug (but it still may or may not be intentional on partypoker's part)
2. The software is INtentionally rigged; something like winning players get less profitable positions to reduce winrates. (People saying that if winning players are getting less BU/CO, and losing players getting more = rigged. THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY TRUE. Losing players tend to play 1-2 tables. Winning players tend to play more. So if its a multitabling unintentional bug, then we might get a lot of false positives in that regard.)
3. Tracking software is bugged (this seems very unlikely to me at this point, but its funny to me how many people are clueless how to use PT4 and HEM just to conclude if theres a discrepency
, like, cmon guys its not that hard to filter for your hands, pool's hands, 3 handed, etc, and find conclusive discrepancies or not)
4. The software is UNintentionally bugged BUT there are players intentionally exploiting the software bug to get more profitable positions.
For poker's sake, I realllllllllllly hope its not #2, and that this gets fixed. For a site thats supposed to be one of the better, reputable, regulated sites, this would suck. I like to think/guess it is #1 because it would makes sense to me that the extreme speed of folding to new hand = multitablers somehow bugging more to be able to enable this feature (so if this is indeed the bug, maybe fastforward tables slow down a bit if the issue is fixed?) My thought is "theres no way party is that stupid to rig the site IN THIS WAY?", but then again, it is a casino site...
Seems like people have contacted party a while ago, and party has actually responded to this, but the issue still exists? So that concerns me too...
