really not a cool move to name those tourneys phases that are effectively satellites to higher stakes tourneys. clicked a couple of 55 phase 1s and certainly wouldnt have done if it was more obvious that you can just buyin directly to phase2 for 530$.

HSMTTers might think its a cool method to lure recs/lowstakes grinders into higher buyins but its borderline shady imo

I'm wondering if the money gets raked twice in Phase tourneys (which shouldn't be the case considering phase tourneys are really just multi day events with different starting days)

Obv people buying straight into day 2 should be raked

anyone know why the HUD doesn't work via PT4 for the phase comps and is there a way to make it work? I know it works for HEM.

Cheers.

And then I get insta-seated to the phase 1 at level 16 with 5 big blinds.

I mean, they could also just offer an allin-shootout like stars does which only takes 5 minutes. Why did I spend these 2 hours to qualify for a "real" tourney?!?!

I had the same thing with Czech Poker Masters. Finnished the 22$ sat and was imedietally sat into online day one which I could not play at that time. Please PP do something about this.

Its confirmed now. From the first week of May HUDs are not allowed anymore on PartyPoker and you cant download Handy Histories anymore, you also have to change your Screenname.

It's not 'confirmed' until PP have officially announced the changes and what the exact details are. There yet to do that so, currently no one can say for certain what's happening yet.

Thats in german but that site is really good and all informations are almost always correct. PartyPoker confirmed that in Discord Channel and i think the official information is coming soon.

It is correct that, the announcement of what the changes will be is about to be made public. However, no one knows or is able to confirm the exact details of those changes until such time as that announcement is made.

The original article, linked below, makes it quite clear what is and is not confirmed - it states clearly that there has been no official announcement, cites sources, links where possible, and makes it clear what is and is not know.

lol at no HUDs. Way softer sites available if I'm down for some blindfold poker. Party should be careful, they're not the fun boy brand, that's not their lane.

But I get it, it's easier and sexier to grandstand than detect bots.

poor looking series, not much creativity (cubed,rebuys,shootouts etc where u at), those dreaded days of just 6 max or mix max flooded in the schedule and no low buy championship event

+1

For the lower stakes, it looks very much like the events are the same old/usual regular schedule games, with the only difference being the GTD's. Upon viewing the overall series schedule, there's not much to get excited about IMO...

As for the no 'Low - Championship Event', i'd noticed that also and had in fact already asked the question as to why that is the case. I'm just awaiting a response from someone I know who's heavily involved in the MTT side of things so, will update if/when I get a response.

For those of on the other side of the world during our autumn/winter everything starts so damn early. Be nice to have some late edition normal speed events like they have on stars.

You seemed surprised - seems standard on Party nowadays to just rename normal daily tournaments, increase the guarantee a bit and call it a series.

Most of them were from a thread here although a decent amount of them I already had tagged as bot-like.

Just had a reply from party saying:

I have sharkscoped a few of the accounts (most are hidden) but Ironman and hoouston haven't played since the 8th March and flasshback hasn't played since the 21st.

Be interesting to see what refunds (if any) people get but I shocked to see Party actually seem to have done something about some of these accounts!

we probably play on the same stakes because i recognise some of the names. How could you tell it was bots? i just remember thinking that some of them are kinda tough

by the way i just saw greatGGun in a bounty KO Series. I thought for some reason that bots wouldn't play (at least that well) in bounties

I won two 320 tickets to the 1m gtd, one got me immediately in and the other one just went inactive, because I didnt bust and they dont let me play any different $320 or give me cash, as I played the tournament? WTF? Is this something PP does regularly? Pokerstars would never do such BS.

If so, what 'usually' happens in the scenario you described is that, PP convert the unused ticket into T$ upon the completion of the series.
