Believe it or not but there's actually a video out there of someone doing this at 2nl on Stars and using Snowie for the decisions.

Hi!

So basically you are telling me not to be bothered cos of some cheaters while i am winning in those games?!
I tell you what, imagine those few bb/hr playing GTO bots do not exists then real ppl who work hard could win those bbs. To go further without those bots the rec/reg ratio would be much better so removing the bots can cause not just +2-3bb/100 but potentially 4-5bb/100.

This is the way ppl should think about artificial intelligence in onlinepoker

Ofc the winrate examples just fiction (rough estimations top of my head) and i ve no clue about real numbers. But players willing to put work in their games could win significantly more without bots in the pool!!

If somebody could give a word of advice to the fellow long time grinder I would be really thankful! I can only play party in country im in right now and I can not manage do install the software from partypoker.net properly... is there something wrong with the installer? I tried on 2 different laptops and its always the same, its lags when I confirm the installation folder and then after lag I am stuck on the 0% screen of installation forever and it never completes. Whats is the catch? How can I normally play poker?

hey!

i would recommend partypoker.com to download the setup.exe. i assume they are not identical because just checked them and they've got different file size

i hope it helps!

Thanks for the help sir, I am in Slovenia now and when I google partypoker, first hit is on partypoker.com that never ever opens for me. So I can only download the installer on partypoker.net :/ I have no idea what to do to sort this... wanted to contact pp live chat, but its only available on .com so im screwed

Isn't .net the playmoney site?

MTTwannabe, try to open https://www.partypoker923.com/ (this is one of partypoker.com mirrors for Russians, because partypoker.com is blocked by authorities in Russia. And there are many other mirrors like this with different digits available).

Thanks, I should. The last part is just emotion, it is just so frustrating that they listen to misguided opinions. They want industry experts? These forums are full of years of experience. Myself for instance, I was playing back in the golden days of Party, got Supernova on Stars a few times, and went back to them for obvious reasons. I just hate seeing them making all these unnecessary mistakes. I wish they knew that it's OK for them to admit that they were wrong and reverse decisions that didn't have the desired result. As it stands now, I cashed out my bankroll and am looking at other options. If they bring back HHs then I will return. I don't even care if HUDs are allowed, I just want my HHs, even if it's a 24 hour delay.

that's correct although i acces party's page through https://partypoker813.com , and if this site doesnt open, just change your DNS to google's (google it lol), because slovenian internet providers are blocking access to partypoker's website, though the client works without problems

How doesn't it open for you? I'm from Slovenia and I have no problem at all opening partypoker.com. Party isn't banned in Slovenia.

Then you can try private browsing/incognito mode in any browser or use tor browser to open the partypoker.com

Played a bit last month or so mostly FastForward 25nl. The games are soft as hell even the regs are spewing all over the shop, I am not very good player and can beat the games.

Hardly surprising. was inevitable.

Don't worry though Rob Yong guaranteed this wouldnt happen because Party have this amazing security team right ... sigh

See

Oh yes, they managed to nail the guy who posted a video publicly with his screenname showing. That is truly amazing, I tip my fedora.

Has had anyone money disappearing from the account? I played a bit yesterday after update and went from 47,.. to 53.99 and this morning i have like 49,..in the account.

if your main currency in your account is euro, that explains the change

Doubt any currency dropped 10% overnight?

Currency changes. When I played on PP (up until last month when they ruined their software), my base currency was GBP, but all PartyPoker transactions are in $, so your bankroll can move a little with exchange rate changes.

I always thought it was a little weird - I much prefer Stars' approach of converting as you deposit.

There is a bug which probably affects mostly sit and go (heads-up) players. I heard at least 3 other isolated cases beside me to have happened this bug to them and I post here to find others as well if it happened to them to ask them to email party poker about this annoying bug and raise their attention to plug this as soon as possible.

In case anyone have a solution for this, it is appreciated as well.

I was playing on party poker for like 4 hours (not continuously, but as games started). I was registered to 5 games on 3 of the highest levels. The same thing happened as last time (when refund was issued for me). The lobby showed "nothing", but normal working, just games has not popped up and games were not shown as 'running', but all games were showing as 'registering' - 1/2 players registered. I noticed that something is wrong when I wanted to unregister, I clicked on one of the registered games and the game's tournament lobby popped up as normal and showed my nick to be the only one in the game, but when I clicked unregister, nothing happened. So I clicked again and again nothing. Beside that, everything looked normal, just I wasn't able to unregister or register any other game either.
So I restarted client and I saw that the same player on nick 'Bitoku995' blinded me out on 5 games without me being able to play a single hand.

I could yet see the finished games in lobby. When this case happened - my internet was working all the way fine and I was playing in other poker rooms as well - all worked fine all the way - the same as the last occasion it happened to me. So it was clearly not an issue with my internet. I suspect this is some kind of party poker software bug. I am unable to attach any screenshot of this bug, because nothing extraordinary happens - no error message, no disconnection, nothing really.

I use party caption (1.89c) and Stackandtile (2.98.05c) with party poker. Party caption clicks the "timeout" popup automatically. But I heard the same happen to a player who doesn't use party caption at all - so it must have no connection on that.



I messaged Party Poker about this and I was disappointed on their reply, I lost ~3.5k total and got refunded 1k only:

I'm curious...doe's anyone know or have any theory's as to why FF 50 is completely dead yet, the buy-in level directly below and above (FF 25 & FF 100) always seem to have good numbers?

I'm fairly certain it used to run with good numbers a while ago so, what changed or happened?

If you wan't to drop down from FF 100 because of the new compulsory 100BB buy-in rule, you currently have to drop all the way down to FF 25 and for me personally, i've found that to be too much of a drop/gap so, have instead simply stopped playing FF.

FF50 players “need” HUD’s and have moved elsewhere?
FF50 pool was predominately bots who’ve been banned?
FF50 pool are currently in Vegas taking a shot?

I don’t have numbers to back it up, but seems traffic is busier in the Omaha games I play which seems strange - but since everyone is a new account I have no clue if it’s mostly the same grinders and fish as before or a bunch of actual new accounts.

Been about a month now - does anyone have / are there any top level figures available for the impact the HH change has had on traffic?

According to pokerscout the peak numbers are about the same
