How long has PocketFives stooped to being a whore? That's like Joe Sebok & the other UB/AP whores declaring PartyPoker to have flawless software, while so many of us continue to suffer through crashes, freezes, disconnections, lags, etc.

You would be surprised how stupid the average poker player can be.
Ongame tried that model and died a painful death in a couple of years. Party is going to follow.

Not even the fish want to be called fish. If you ask the average fish, he'll tell you he is a talented player who knows how to bluff well. In poker, people overestimate their ability greatly. That isn't even halted by the fact that 95% of the players are losing money. When they hear of a fish protection network, they think they don't belong there and they get better rakeback elsewhere.

Furthermore, making your customers feel worthless and constantly making poor changes(3% fee on Skrill/Neteller withdrawals, a worse, buggy software, the player segrecation without informing players, removing the top tier of the VIP club... the list goes on) out of greed shatters one's credibility more than anything.

This is not going to work, because it's a poor, ignorant business model designed by worthless ******s who have no idea whatsoever how poker works and who have probably never played more than 100 hands.

Simply put, Party offers nothing that PokerStars doesn't, while PokerStars offers a lot that Party doesn't. This is not a winning concept. Constantly playing against the odds eventually ends in a defeat. Party spent so many long years keeping up an excellent image. Now they've ground it down to the dust in a couple of years. I'm one of those people who believe that you reap what you sow, and in a year or two when Party has 1300 players in Pokerscout.com, I call it justice.

I see I am not the only one who's tables are freezing constantly (2 months ago I played a few days on Partypoker).
Can somebody explain me this:

In the year of the Lord 2002 I started playing onlinepoker on Partypoker. I used my telephoneline for internet; download capacity 25 kilobits a second. I had a Pentium 1 still from the nineties and NO problems playing 4 tables.

Now we arrive in 2013. I can download with 50 megabits a second (2000 times faster). My processor/RAM/Harddisk is also hundreds of times faster/bigger and the Partysoftware is as slow as a snail.

How the F. is it possible that that computer from the stone ages performed better, when I was playing on Partypoker, than the one I now use?

Because the programmers in India who have the contract aren't capable of plugging the memory leaks. Or maybe they're just too damn lazy.

*hitty software crashing so often I'm scared to breathe on my screen.

Nothing has changed my end, no other programs running, sometimes if I move a table the client crashes, sometimes it just closes down when all is still, sometimes it reloads, sometimes I have to manually start software and login again.
Anyone else?

I saw a picture of Party Rep today, on a carton of milk... It said "missing since Bwin and Party combined...".

Well said my friend. I agree 100% with your analysis. I'm looking forward to the day that scummy site crashes and burns. So many issues. Such complete incompetence.

Don't do this, it's a terrible idea. The price they charge for electronics in terms of points is more than twice retail price. Like the amount of points they are asking for an iphone 5 is worth about $1500 T$.

Just get tournament tickets and grind them off in sitngos, you'll have the money in a day or two.

You are right, didn't know those prices in the store are so idiotic.
Also have no experience with that Tdollar loophole.

So if you are planning to play on another site (with a good rakebackdeal from the beginning) best choise is to buy the tournamenttickets.

If you plan to stay on partypoker best choise is:

1 $15000 pokerbonus (30% rakeback)
2 $5000 pokerbonus (25% rakeback)
3 buy tournamenttickets (21.5% rakeback)
4 $1000 pokerbonus (20% rakeback)

Bwin.party shares drop after Morgan Stanley pinpoints poker relaunch

Quote:
... PartyPoker, had continued to lose market share over the past four months, with no great uplift in traffic.
:
“The company does not have a steady base of high-quality income from any product or region,” Morgan Stanley said.

“We see a risk that lower marketing spend drives lower active customers, generating less revenue, with fewer funds available to invest in product development and marketing, and that this, in turn, leads to lower customer numbers.”

ya, it is pretty bad that they can't keep to the weekly updates. Why every time players give party a little slack do they have to maximize it? why never have any positive surprises.

Their solution is probably to kick some of their support staff away? why need so many for so few players?

The software is the most important thing for Online Poker Business.

Because this bad software, Party has already lost hundreds players. Party will continue loss much more players if the software is not improved in the future.

Because their software has so many problems. So players keep email and call them, made these staff busy.
