Lol,that would be so great.Ringfence the bots!

no fish ever from those nations,new accounts(midstakes) popping up all the time,very weird(unhuman) plays.
It is the ratio that matters,in case of belarus and ukraine and kasachtan if you punish 1000 accounts there are maybe 600 at fault.

why do you defend them?let them play against each other,great idea.

ladysharrow - Lagertha is a party shill, he has been posting inane party defence posts for the last year (if not longer). I would just skim-read and ignore most of his posts.

FYP.

I'm not even close to being a "Shill' for PP or anyone else for that matter.

Just because I often see things from a different perspective and the bigger picture, doesn't mean i'm siding with or defending PP.

You wan't to talk about 'inane' posts - suggesting banning entire countries because of Bot accounts is the definition of inane (especially when you factor in that there are players from many other countries outside of the ones mentioned who have also been using Bot's on PP).

How many heads up tables are you allowed to be waiting on? And how many are you allowed to play on?

You can wait and play on as many as you want, but only one inactive table per stake will show up in the lobby for others to see.

I'm running a shop. People from Country A come in, some spent a little bit of money, some spend lots of money, some are return customers, some tell their friends how good my shop is. Country B does the same, Country C does the same etc. Country D however, almost none of the customers from Country D buy anything, but they fill up my shop space of actual customers from A-C who can't enter and do what they want. Out of the small portion of D buyers, most don't return. When i've looked into the shop floor going-ons in more detail, most of the people from Country D don't buy anything because they are stealing products, costing me money and preventing actual customers from buying and using my service.

It doesn't seem that crazy to carpet ban Country D from entering my shop, even if 1% of Country D are proper customers. I have also noticed 1% of Country C is shoplifting - clearly banning Country C would be silly - but now I can focus my efforts on catching the offenders and banning specific players.

While I don't think banning a whole country is a good idea, or one that party will do (I actually think Party doesn't care about bots, and potentially even likes bots because I think their player pool would drop a huge % if all the bots were removed and the recent bans were were a surface 'look what we are doing to keep you safe' and one reason for the ecology changes are to help cover up the state of their games), I don't think it is that unreasonable.

Certainly Party have much greater access to deposit/withdrawal/poker history of their customers, but if they found there was a country that withdrew far more than they deposited, had very few losing accounts, had accounts that mostly just jumped into low-mid stakes and were winning and played suspiciously then banning that county doesn't seem as bad a proposal.

I have been playing tournaments and supporting party for the past few years, mostly as I no longer play for a living and wanted smaller fields where tournaments wouldn't take my whole evening. As party has grew, this has become less ideal for me but I still have supported and welcomed most of the changes.

However, the more I've played cashgames, the more suspicious I get. Opening Party and Stars and comparing country breakdown for specific limits often shows very different distribution, coupled with the actual bot creators promoting party as an 'easy target', first hand accounts from bot makers who actively run bots on party still and haven't been caught and suspicious plays at the table makes me think the bot issue is still there, and more of an issue than Party are letting on.

In an ideal world, I fully support Rob Yong's ideas, and if I felt comfortable that Party were actually actively trying to catch bots, were able to catch and ban bots and would keep the games as bot free as possible (at least as good as Stars do) then I would happily welcome no HUDs/anon tables/whatever changes they want.

I do doubt this will happen, and certainly would not be recommending party to anyone for cashgames and depending what happens on the site after all the upcoming changes they might be losing me as a customer for good.

That why it s toxic on PP more than PS or 888.
NL10 NL25 NL50.... all RUS BELARUS UKR are winners....tight as ****....never see a donk spewing.....
At these limits on other sites i see good and bad russians, seems less suspicious.

How come on PP you have only the winning part of pool....no it doesnt makes sense and we know why..... but they rake....so no hope of a change

Does anyone know when the new happy hours are coming? Does PP offer them like once every three months or?

As for bots from Belarus, Ukraine, Latvia, etc. It would already help if PP won't let 4 of them play at the same table so they cannot collude. I see it all the time how two guys from Belarus join the same table and usually play every MW pot together.

can we have some good GTD TRUE hyper turbos? bigger antes, big blind jumps, small blind time, short register, 3hour max tournament.

Yes happy hour would be nice again.Or any kind of cash game promotion....

+1 This would improve their MTT schedule a lot.

finally bwin has the same tables(design) as party poker.it reminds me a lot of pokerstars tbh

Hey guys, recently the CPU usage of PartyPoker client skyrocketed. Am I the only one having this problem?

Btw,
greetings from Russia

No problems here, looking at your previous posts is it table tamer or some scripting you're using, not even sure if that's allowed. Why don't people just play the game, is it that important to have a bet auto fill every decision to shave off an extra click.

I like the news partypoker is taking bots seriously as 94 more bot accounts got banned, this comes after the news of 277 bots getting banned April 9th so its a nice step in the right direction, email the partypoker fraud team if you think there is something suspicious going on, reports@partypoker.com

Thanks for reply man. Table Tamer certainly could be involved in ****ing things up. Also, after I restarted Party, PT4 and TT everything seems to work fine. So it is hard to say for sure.

I basically only use TT to openraise. When I play a reasonably long HU sesh openraising without hot-keys (and with a size different from 2x) gives me some kind of highway hypnosis.

Anyone know of a way to get rid of the annoying table logo? I find it very distracting. Is there a file I can delete in the Party folder or something?

If you mean the tourney promos you can delete the two "promotion_table_logo.png" which leaves you with only the Partypoker logo in the background.

And regarding the bot situation, maybe set up a petition here and send to Party? Would be good to restrict botheavy countries to max 2 entries per table and a table cap per player.

Kazakhstan should obviously be completely banned.

Just withdraw your money from party and never play there again. Problem solved.

I don't really like the idea of banning countries or restricting players per table based on their country.

Instead, I'd rather see more countries playing together in the same international player pool like in the good old days. .com, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, USA etc. back in one player pool. Can one hope?

Regarding bots, looks like they are getting banned, based on these blog posts.

Maybe report to Party if there are any left?

Thanks! I did delete the promo ones, is there anyway to get rid of the Party logo as well?

Anyone know if the swedish client is still an old version? I played yesterday and it felt very laggy and animations didn't work etc.

Someone mentioned that huds and 3rd party software would be banned in another thread and its a rumor. Anyone know much about this?

I heard them talk about removing huds on their instagram page aswell. Maybe they will give everyone 50% flat rakeback, have smoother software. draw everyone to their site and then add no-HUD tables to their site. atleast that would give people the option
