What's the deal with table camping? Players aren't getting booted for sitting out.

LOl at the changes.
I get grimmed all the time.
People table camp.
People table hop so if they are not sitted on desirable table they leave. The system makes no sense if there are no penalties for leaving the table as it is on FTP.

-for anyone that has a gold or silver VIP level or below, PokerFest time is offering good rates compared to normal ticket costs.

@Colette, the VIP store already offers $1050 tourney tickets. Can we have the following available for PokerFest as well. Not packages, just single tickets, please. I know if they were offered I would buy them.
-$1050 (~30% rakeback)
-$2100 (~32% rakeback)

Can UpThePosh or any UK Facebook member please post Rob's quote? Flushdraw.net states that the last day of playing at partypoker for many of us will be next week:
"The poker room has one more change coming – Phase 2 – that it says will go live next week."

I was about to make a deposit today, but will postpone buying into games until I can see that the Replayer works and can download hand histories.

ty, my fault

Golan Shaked :

“Since we announced our plans to restrict the use of third party tools on our software we have been delighted by the response of the poker community.*"

.... have you really Golan ?

the replayer/ text view of the hands are currently viewable in missions>hand history.

no clue how long its been there but its been a while now. no need to wait to see how it works

You want the site to die completely?

You are right it is better when I get grimmed etc. by regs or I start the table HU with a reg and they keep sitting in/sitting out without paying the big blind (e.g. they don't see any fish seat in with some random stack) How does it make any sense?? Not to mention that when the table is starting people still can jesus seat you when the table is not full so scripts should still work just fine. don't allow people to chose the seat when the table is 2,3 or 4-handed otherwise the changes make no sense.

You don't want table select fine but please give people option like microgaming have so there is an option to chose "seat me when there is at least 2,3,4,5 players seated". Also allow only limited number of new tables starting.
EDIT saw post by Greg20 will try the my waitlist solution from now on.

Free spins? Or a casino bonus. I'm confused. How can you call them free spins if all you get is dollars that have to be wagered?

Probably, yes.

You have to remember that although a few vocal people will denounce it as the end of the world, a higher % of players posting here will be winning players trying to protect an edge. People who spend more time on forums learning about the game will likely have more chance of winning.

Also, you/we can rant about lost revenue/rake for party etc, but at the end of the day we can only guess the kind of figures that are in play, whereas party will have the exact figures

Free Spins at Party always means X $casino bonus.
Just remember to sit at a fixed limit table with your BR before you use the casino .
The requirements are tough but once in a while you will clear them and then its free money. Made a couple of cashes myself this way.

So who's lying Dan Katz or Rob Yong?

@Party_rep

link to what Dan Katz said?

dan katz the writer for a site nobody has ever heard of, or the guy who is directly linked to everything party does these days. think you answered your own question

When Pokerfest got postponed a couple of weeks ago, I received an e-mail with this announcement:




Is the freeroll already showing in the lobby (and I just haven't been able to find it? ) Or will it be added later? Did it get cancelled?

Thanks for the help!

why have all the tables become anonymous after the update? WTF?

"1. Players wishing to wait for a cash game will join a room-wide waiting list and be randomly seated when a seat that matches their preference becomes available.
2. Players joining a cash game will see the names of their opponents only once their first hand is dealt."

Thanks!

Can someone please explain how to get on the site-wide waitlist?

Looks like the client didn't get updated the first time I ran it. After the client restart it did. Now it works as it's supposed to.

P.S. Except for the first few hands at every table getting messed up in the hand histories But then again, I don't think Party has ever released an update that didn't introduce new bugs

I may be wrong but probably what they meant by this is using the "Group tables" option and then taking a seat by clicking "play now"

No, you can join room-wide waitlist by clicking "My Waitlist" under "Find Seat" and/or "Watch Table" button(s). Kind of sucks you can't join for more than one table per selected game and stakes, though. So you have to fill in 6 times if you want to play on 6 tables...

@Party_rep, could this be improved? Additionally it would be cool if we could save our preferences so we don't have to change them every time and/or most recently used preferences should be remembered.

Is table tamer not working for anyone?
