Need to vent!!!!!!!!!
Party Poker has made me dislike German and Russian players.
Also didnt unlock a country for the first day in awhile

Quick questions...when I buy a cash bonus on Party...can I cash out the money immediately cause I know that on Bodog for example when you transer points into cash you can not withdraw that money right away. And yes..I know a bonus has way more value but I do not play one more single hand on the worst poker site by far. Even if that means I have to buy overprized merchandise from the store. So maybe someone knows the answer :-)

Thanks

afaik you can cash it out right away. email/live chat to confirm or just try to withdraw...?

Guess will email them..but I dont wanna just give it a shot and then cant withdrawal cause I seriously plan to never play a hand on that annoying site. Will post the answer from support in case others are interested too.

i´m sure immediately.

Juk

Ok...support confirmed that I can cash out immediately...will give it a shot..cant wait to close that chapter once and for all.

By the way...found this article from a bwin CEO
http://www.insidepokerbusiness.co.uk...for-poker.html
and it makes me feel so good about finally leaving Party cause it shows how out of touch with reality some of these poker site managers are IMO. I mean...sure its not helping to have such a huge competitor and many of the former FTP players even moved to Stars but the only one to blame on Party's current situation is Party itself. Its not Stars fault that Party
- has a crappy software,
- has a crappy VIP system,
- does not deal with bad promotions properly,
- does not care about using forums like this to improve their site and build a longterm relationship with their customers
- does not care about bots playing their site
- seems to not have a business plan at all (given from what I read in here what some of the high VIP guys posted after conversations they had with their VIP hosts)
- does stupid stuff like announcing an even higher rake than before like two days before implementing it and then waving the white flag after some protests. not 100% sure but I think they even tried to sell this desaster as something like...we listen to what the players say...hahaha.

They had a really good chance to strengthen their position after BF but they failed big time IMO.

Binked Columbia and Brazil today to complete South America (got Argentina a couple of days ago). 15000 bucks for the continent.

Only 312 cities, but 17050 dollars total from this promo.

Obviously feel bad for all of you who have been grinding 24/7, when I only play a couple of hours a day, but just posting this to confirm that it truly is a lottery who wins big. So don't give up, even if you only manage 20-30 cities a day.

That, more than anything, is exactly what is so frustrating about Party Poker. They simply refuse to accept responsibility for the results of their decisions which is the sole reason that their site remains as little more than a very very very distant second or third to Stars. They remind me so much of a tag fish who refuses to accept he's the one making the poor decisions and instead just blames his failures on everybody else running insanely hot. Except now this tag fish has somehow found himself in control of one of the world's largest gaming companies. Maybe some people really do just run hot.....

I think you are correct and Party is missing post-BF opportunities left and right. Their eye is firmly on USA at that point and the CFO is just hammering the point that stars shuold be shut down if an online poker bill were go go through.

siiiiiiiiiickkkk CG!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Congrats!

I need Brazil too for South America!

must be nice, lucky you !

Thanks. And good luck with Brazil.

(I'm obviously doomswitching myself by even posting the rungood, so everyone telling me i'm a lucky f*** will be happy to know that my comeuppance is presumably just around the corner... although playing only PLO it's kinda hard to separate nemesis and variance.)

+1

Juk

plzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Im playing 15 sit multitabling with HM and party tools. When becomes later (night at europe and 25000+ player ) software start to get very slow like if I run in a old machine
Is it party or there is some kind of data memory acumulation or database.
First hours it run smooth and fast

there is a memory leak in the lobby. party claims it is because of tracking software which is complete BS

you can reduce the effect by keeping the lobby minimized as much as possible

as a last resort you can use ctrl+alt+delete to quit party from the task manager, when you reopen it the lag will be gone and your tables still there
