Scarier thing is most of the leaderboard is actually legit... these guys are genuinely grinding 18+ hours a day for the week. Cap the top prize at $500 imo and eliminate the incentive to run a team (since you would be risking 5k ticket for a 2k month).

Had suspicions about born2die since the graph on partypoker wasn't great but he's on pocketfives and has unlocked sharkscope - and is a good winner on other sites.

I've read your previous posts regarding this issue and think you've raised a fair point in regards to the bounty aspect of the PKO deals that needs to be rectified, one way or another. Reading Colette's comments, it seems that is indeed going to be the case moving forward.

In regards to the compensation you are seeking, I personally think your going a bit overboard in regards to your expectations and sense of entitlement based on what happened. Do you really expect PP to pay you the equivalent of your opponents bounty or close to it?

Yes, you could've played on and won your opponents bounty (on top of your own) had you known how things worked ahead of time but, you also could've played on and lost resulting in you not only not getting your opponents bounty but, also losing your own that you did get as part of the deal.

What i'm trying to say is that I personally don't feel like you've been as hard done by as what your making it out to be. You may rate yourself and believe you would've won heads-up had you played on (and i'm not saying you wouldn't have) but, it's poker - anything can happen at a flip of a card and there's no guarantees.

I think you should take the token gesture Colette has been kind enough to offer and leave it at that, as I don't believe your being out of pocket is a fact under the circumstances.

Come on dude, be calm, non-demanding and leave emotion out of it. Make your points eloquently and present them well and you will be respected instead of being that annoying person people at a company are contractually obligated to deal with but would ignore 100% of the time if given the chance.

I'm not even necessarily saying you're wrong btw, it's just that it gets lost in your tirade.

The only mistake made here is that you presumed something to be case without making sure that it was in fact correct.

Just because something is done one way at one poker site does not mean that it is unilateral and happens across the board.

I understand your frustration etc, I don't particularly like the way you've gone about it like many others.

Why not put this down to experience, let party catch up and make adjustments and get on with life. The constant whinging and whining is not going to get you anywhere but annoy other posters.

Accept the goodwill gesture (that they didn't have to give you!) and move on!

I guess this is farseer's 2nd account?

UPDATE
we renegotiate and did find agreement with Colette and i am satisfied/okish with compensation i got (little less from what i was asking, little more from the "good will gesture" party were offering)
tx Colette

P.S. One more thing to make all good imo is: party need to ASAP put notice/warning text in deal popout so everyone will be aware that when they agree to deal in pkos mtt will end every one will win their own bounty

.

i understand how it looks in your eyes but be aware that eng is not my first language and some things might sound more rude that i want to say it

i never said that party deal popout (way the do deals) in pkos should be same as for ex. stars and i am ok with choping pkos too
I am arguing that there was nowhere notice/warning that that will happen and i was not aware of that, if i knew it (that when we agree to chop prize pool we somehow also agree to each other win their own pko) i would not agree to make a deal.. that was the whole issue and imo that is party responsibilty => to make players aware and make it clear what kind of deal they are making

Exactly this. Whether your right or not your just making it harder on yourself to fully convey your issue.

Linking Sharkscope stats of your opponent just confuses things more. You claim your issue is that you were misled by the deal making process then make it all about your lost EV. No one doubts you would go to this trouble if you didn't truly feel that you were the better player.

Pretty common knowledge that on party once you make a deal the mtt ends.

I'm very surprised that a reg/ semi reg, posting regularly on here would not know this.

But yes rec players needed to be informed.

I'm glad you got some compensation and kudos to party for offering it... not every site would. So props to them. The most important thing is that they learn from this and update their message board system as this issue could easily happen again.

hi,

i like to see the new satellites to 22,- 55,- etc. (it s now for a while but i allways Forget to say- here now some positiv Feedback )

Party i am REALLY loving the schedule

I particularity like the Freeze outs at 30 minutes past the hour

I would love to see more of these smaller-field, non re-entry games that are lacking everywhere else these days.

Maybe we could have two of them every hour (during peak times at least) so at 8.15 for example you would have a $11 Power Turbo and then at 8.45 you would have like a $5 Power PKO

i never chop (had reasons to chop => stack distribution/too many players left/perceived skills/ liitle money diffrence to play for etc) in daily mtts so i dint know that

Your sunday schedule use to be better when you had games like kick offs and warmups.Now its identical to the daily schedule but with boosted gtds.Does there need to be deepstack at both 2pm and 4pm?4pm should be warmup with same structure as the daily major.
Your sunday majors having smaller gtds than bounty builders which makes no sense.Not so major.You have enough players to be building slowly towards ur own sunday mill and mini mill, which is probably still the main reason recs log onto to stars on sunday, to try qualify and play these 2 tournaments but now their payouts are so bad you can easily steal these customers.

You have several buy in levels for each slot but you should be smarter on at least sunday, and set the sunday major to 215/55/11 or 215/22 so you can actually work on building a true main event for the week that everyone strives to play and with less buy in levels for this slot these games are gonna grow quicker.

Bring back some of the warnups and kick offs.

get rid of the smooth structures entirely, except for maybe 1 daily (marathon vanilla MTT). And def take them out of PKO's. This structure is far from ideal in a PKO format.

Bring back the daily 6-max turbo majors after the other daily majors.

Yea agree with this - I believe smooth is there though to ensure maximum guarantees - which Pads really needs to do since all of Party's marketing strategy for tournaments is anchored around guarantees - they need to ensure as big a player base as possible with the $20million GTD tournament in November etc.

Will say I don't mind smooth 6max as much since players are less able to nit it up.

Fast structure is pretty clever - plenty of play until you reach the money then speeds up after - I'd imagine it goes down well with recreationals.

12:00 CEST 5K Gtd Bounty Hunter has bugged buy-in showing 30+3 in lobby.

could you please let me know when you get your things straight and shorten the micro tournaments which last usually 9 hours? thanks. and give us a headsup before you destroy them again.

still not fixed for tomorrow

They absolutely don t care....It s GTD dumb vision destroying play experience, and the funniest is that they expect to make a solid player base.....speechless
Meanwhile, notes are disabled.... another step against the players

...yes...but it is really funny? answer is no!...and this 100k 200k Chips starting stack Thing...i really would like 3k 5k 10k Chips start stacks...please

Better laughing than crying, each time Patrick Leonard come here to explain how great everything is yes i m bloody laughing, thanks god the sats are the only thing to play for 22-55 better fun sessions

Sorry, what exactly is the issue?
