Have you checked out our new leader board promo for this week?
20th - 28th

Good luck at the tables!

https://www.partypoker.com/whats-goi...aderboard.html

MTTs have been getting so much spotlight lately... apparently because they glue a player to the computer or whatever smart device for a few hours in a row (bar 5-minute breaks every hour) and they often want to load other games when they have 1-2 last tables left , that's a cross-promotional effect that fast games can't achieve.

and yet even pro mtt players rake less over 6months than a part time nl10 grinder does each month.

It's nonsense that they get the best value out of paladium and all these promos.

Is there any news on adding hyper and turbo MTTs to the party shedule (3-5min levels)?

Hey Stephen,

i have the same problem exactly!

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28.../#post51202125

it happends 3 weeks ago, i wrote some emails with party and no reaction!
i just get standard script email answers of some russian named girl "we are looking for problem" but nothing happends...

Is there any reason the rake for hyper turbo HUSNG's is so high on party? Other leading sites have theirs at between 2-3% yet Party's rake is somewhere between 7-9% making them pretty much pointless to grind.

Agreed. HU Hypers have always been a major attraction for new players but this rake is really unreasonable.

Would also like to add to the calls for some turbo and hyper-turbo mtts - theres a real gap for them on Party. Unless of course their rake turns out the same as regular mtts.

I second these requests. An increased prevalence of 6-handed or even 4-handed (with a 5-handed final) tables in MTTs would be also nice, so that enough hands can be played during a shorter blind level.

Note that I'm not a pro at MTTs, I'm just looking at them from the recreational viewpoint: the more players per table - the more tables one has to load to have the same fun - the higher the probability that one is left with 1 boring (full ring) table in the late evening when new worthy MTTs just don't start because it's off-peak... and/or is tempted to add tables from other sites.

The only argument that I see against shorter tables is the frequency of table balancing... but you don't have to reduce the number of tables at every opportunity - let a fair share of the tables (possibly more than 10) remain with 1 less player and move someone only when one of the tables has 2 less players than the maximum - this will also prevent excessive rebalancing in the early phase when there are quite many late registrations (in comparison with eliminations) that will fill up the shorter tables.

I really must express my deepest appreciation for the latest option of screenname change, it has confirmed my stereotype about the regs from UK. Not at all shy about taking other regs former SNs. That strong moral compass of yours sure is something to be proud of guys and girls!

Yea sounds exactly the same what happened to me (including the new windows opening). The initial response from support was that what I was describing was "impossible" so I was not waiting for any actual results from their "investigation". I just needed to change my password and was good to go (took 2-3 days); no word about anything else so I highly doubt they even looked at this incident or it just might be they cannot really do much if these things are really hackings.

This kind of hacking would be so bizarre anyway so I am almost sure (or atleast I hope) that the cause is some kind of mouse or keyboard disorder even though it really felt like someone else was controlling my account at the time.

But what would their incentive be to hack someones account and start messing with games; to go through all that trouble just to mess around? Sure its possible but with current information unlikely in my opinion.

Hi guys, hi Party_Rep
I see a chipdumpers at nl50 hu almost every day.
How i can report about these cases? Usually i write an email to info@partypoker.com with hands numbers, but they replied to me only once, may be there are other way to inform about it?
P.S.
lol, i saw another case of chipdumping while I was writing this message.

#15681497793: Player1 wins USD 99,96 $

Live chat will probably get the message to the correct people the fastest. PM'ing Colette here on 2+2 during office hours might be almost as fast (she is away this week, though).

Live chat here: https://www.partypoker.com/contact-us.html

As we have seen before, Party support usually doesnt give a fu*k about any kind of fraud until you out it publicly. Which means best way to get things right is to post some hhs over here or contact Colette (shes not with CS) via PM, or both.
Live chat and e-mail support seem to be bunch of clueless outsourced idiots doing their 9-5 as easy as possible

hahaha, felt nostalgic for some of the older bot cases ignored by CS division before highlighted here. Wanted to see if http://www.mbiresev.rs/Poker/party/ is still online. Obviously some bot owners also dont give a fu*k. Show must go on

As someone who has not played on Party since the Gladiator promotion, is there any feeling about how many people are cheating with full HUD stats? It's the reason I left and I don't intend to come back until I feel I'm not being cheated against, or at least until the site try to minimise the risk.

Well bunch of people. Some converters for anon hh are almost openly available not to mention that there has been huge influx of regs. Like roughly 2 weeks after the changes games were great and just got progressively worse. I will just clear my bonus and I am out of it.
I will post within couple of days proof here just to ashame Party and their LOL security teem that has no clue what they are doing .

Shame on you Party to push legit people out of your site for some cheating scumbags.

Hi guys and gals! I am contemplating on moving away from poker stars, how do you interpret this comparison? I play 10-25nl.

http://www.rakeback.com/poker-rake/c...vs-partypoker/

Obviously rakeback sites are sponsored and therefore aren't a good source for partial information. I also checked the rake levels stated by poker stars and party themselves, and found these:

https://www.partypoker.com/how-to-pl...structure.html
https://www.pokerstars.eu/fi/poker/room/rake/ (sorry, in Finnish but you get the point)

While pokerstars has a slightly lower rake% at 4.5% vs. 5%, the rake cap is 4 x compared to party (2 vs 0.5)! This is supposed to mean that almost all pots played on stars pay a 4.5% rake, while many pots on party reach the cap, leading to a lower average rake%.

So how does party have a clearly higher avg rake/100 hands than stars?

My conclusion is that the only reason for this is that Party has to have juicier games. Avg rake/100 hands is of course affected by avg size of pots and avg players / flop. Thoughts? What else could explain clearly lower rates of rake/100 on stars?


TL;DR:
Rake % on party is lower than on stars, yet on party, players pay more rake/100 hands. Therefore 10NL-25NL games on party must be juicier than on Stars. Thoughts?

I interpret it that you went over rake for limit games instead of nl games on partypoker site. Rake is much higher on party than on Stars.

For 5-6handed nl25 games rake on party is $0,01 per $0,20 (that's 5%) capped at $3.
For 5-6handed nl25 games rake on PS is 4,5% capped at $2.

Whoops, I sure did. Thanks for pointing it out

Is there a way to increase the partypoker lobby size like on pokerstars? Its way too small.


Also is there a reason you can't copy and paste password when logging into partypoker. You have to manually type the password in which is annoying if your password is very long etc.


Also how do you even see the full description of the tournaments since you can't even enlarge it? Everything is like in a small box. At least with 888 even though you can't enlarge it, its already big enough.

slimfinger, 25z, location Belarus, definitely a bot.

found the HH converter for annon tables, a bit expensive but publicly available. GJ party.

You should post the link over here for the Lulz

I mean there is no way in hell that Party did not know that this was going to happen pretty quickly, right Then again, it is Party

I'm guessing regs from the UK?

Yeah, just played a theres tons of new polish/netherland regs with similar playstyle

They all seem to have hands on me as well.
