I can't confirm in which order the upgrades are being made, for obvious reasons, but bwin.be is on our roadmap (in case that helps set your mind at ease ). The colours are not great and it's something we've reported to our poker room guys in the interim.

Regarding VIP system, unfortunately it's something still in discussion. I'd hope to have something concrete soon, but can't confirm as the decision is out of my hands. If there's any feedback on the current party system you like/dislike we can try and send that to the relevant team in case there's still a decision to be made.

I do enjoy being called by my real name

Again with this it's tough to give clear indications of when these changes are taking place, just know that we are working on getting all our labels up to speed. I understand the frustration but due to the legislative decisions for each region, it takes slightly longer to get regulator approval etc...

Yeah, I was torn on that because I was sure there would be overlays so passing on that was painful but since all (?) of the tournament are 1-day tournaments it was an easy pass after some brief calculation.

I played almost no tournaments this month apart from two 'fast' ones at 17:30 CET which seem rather normal speed to me. The only reason I didn't play them more that I had to start my session often around 19:30 CET and the late reg was for those over.

do you think to put in the software the option
"stack in BB blind" ??
like winamax software?

Believe this is in the pipeline for a later update yeah

exactly, there are 2 DAY event structures, that s why i can t stop moaning when i see WINAMAX doing so clever stuff on a so small and dry french market.......
beeing in asia i can t play there unfortunately....

To give you an idea, i registered at 11pm my time zone (singapore) played till 6am to bust ITM in the 1$ and 5$ buyins for an amazing 8$ and 20$ profit (including 9 and 6 bounties).... went to bed slept till 11am and back to PP they had still 15ppl battling there for 55$. but LOOOOOOL. 12 hours playing !!!!!! .....
In the same session the few cash games nL 10 opened at same time on PP and 888 brought 3 times more cash......... only bots can play that Shi..... without any problems.....

For the 100000th time +1 to the 2day events.. not that anyone is giving a *** but.. they didnt even bother to reply to most of the comments whether they agree/desagree with what we say..
These structures (esp. 14-16min) are very good but for 2-day events. Just make day 1 end within 6-7 hours of play and then day 2 will be another 5-7 hours of play. You wanna tell me there is no interest to them?? Just look at any of the Stars normal series where most of the tournaments are 2days and they have an overwhelming success..

Where are the phase tournaments?
Where are the direct satellites for the 11/22$ buyins?
Where are the mega sats like for example 11$ with 100 seats gtd to the 109 KO series events?
Where are the sng sats?
Where is the info for what you can win in the 4$ Sng Hero that pays KO Series tickets? (You cant even see the blind structure, can you?)

+1 Two Day Events is VITAL! Structures are great, but the issue here is rec's or regs don't want to play one tourney for 15 hours straight (There is no longevity in that, it's unhealthy), it's just bad. If you are rec you have a work next day, if you are reg it totally fks up your next day, meaning the reg probably will take day off from your schedule the next day to recover.


The complete awesomeness for party is very near, it's small changes that required to reach perfection, go for it!

there is obviously someone in a top position completely allergic to -what others are doing-. This is the message they give, we don t copy the obvious things our competitors are doing....well ok...but if it leads to rubbish badbadbadbad move.
Just makes PP appears like clowns, and really a shame cause they do a lot in live events right now, but online offer is a joke and very amateur job.....

Overlays are starting already bcz they can t keep traffic a decent hours on their site. this has been happening each time they increased guarantees (generous, great, but be attractive to your market....well hum, what s YOUR market)

we all say the same, but they don t listen, great intentions, GARBAGE implementation. like raising utg with 55.... do you have a plan ?

Why there has to be a plan to make two-day events? It's simple as that and has been done occasionally on party before. It will solve a lot of complaints.

Also offtopic:

After new software, if you tag opponent with a color tag - it won't show a Location for a player, but if you have a note + color tag it will show a country he's from. Please solve this.

@Colette, seems that the faster structured games (which where great with 8 min levels!!) are already gone after 1 week? I know they've overlayed but this is pretty fast? I hope they'll come back when the new schedule is finished. Only played those games during the past week, because of the other games are just taking too long.

@Bwin rep, best would be to implement the PartyPoker VIP system based on rakeback ofc, seems also the fairest for everybody. At this point most people just play on PartyPoker instead of Bwin, because the difference in Party rakeback vs Bwin vip store bonusses is just huge.
In some countries you can't play on Partypoker because of regulations, it would be way better of course to have here the same advantages on Bwin, compared with the privileges other people have on Party somewhere else :-)

Thanks a lot !!

I think some random tournaments have been overlaying due to:
1) Update interfering with HUDs
2) Regs waiting for the leaderboards starting in a week or two
3) Six nations rugby matches etc.

When is the Mac version coming with same table layout as windows! So much better than the current! I hate that the Party table is wider than stars and 888, makes it so more difficult to mass-multitable with different sites! Also please make it possible to click a player´s name to copy so that we dont have to write all players manually on Sharkscope! One more software thing: Please remove the "rebuy" tab on the poker table (at least on non-rebuys), I misclick that tab all the time when Im going to close the "note tab".
Small things like that make me play pokerstars over Party.

There's a brief mention of upcoming software improvements on pokernews:

"Future software rollouts will include bubble chat, the option to show a table in full-screen mode, and an option for players to see stack sizes in big blinds."

People crying about overlay now!! This thread really is a haven for constant negativity.

Lets try to remember the main reason why there was lots of overlay is because Party were very aggressive with their gts (not because mtts are one-day/ two-day) - and last time I checked, that is a good thing for everyone!

Normal daily mtts should be 8-10-12 as mr soepgroente suggested.

Leave marathon 16 min events there

Have some deep ones with a structure like the deep stacks on stars, relatively normal over the first 3-3.5 hours til ITM then slow down a lot. Label them deep so people know they take a long time. Could do 8 minutes -10 minutes- 12 minutes- 14 minutes once ITM. Something like that.

The major problem is just taking forever to get ITM

You guys should try not to put so many 6max at the same day, especially with stars having their own 6max weekly events... With the event 8 beeing 6max why is also the event 9?

$1 10k, $2 20k, $5 20k, $11 50k during this series look sick. I don't mind these overlays.

However, the question is what happens after the series. I hope schedule won't be overloaded with pkos and game speed will be something likes this:
4pm cet 14 or 16 minute lvl
5pm-7pm cet 12 minute lvl
8pm-9pm cet 10 minute lvl
10pm cet 8 minute lvl
11pm cet 6 minute lvl

Some turbos at 8:30 cet would be nice too.

slow blind structures combined w/ awful FT heavy payout structures is a recipe for overlays.

Yes ft heavy payouts is a bad thing.

WTF people

could be worse he could be complaining about avatars fitting in the circle ffs. one thing i noticed btw is that if i note someone that i cant see where they are from it stops showing once they are noted.

Everyone is entitled to have there say and provide feedback. At least mentioning the avatars not fitting in the circle was original, unlike your complaint which has already been mentioned and talked about multiple times previously in the thread.

but youre complaint is ******ed and can be easily fixed by just re-doing your avatar, it offers nothing to help with improvements, like who gives a **** about avatars ?

I mean difference between min-cash and 3ft payouts is like 3x which creates ton of VAR considering low stack depth and big field sizes.
However Soep already said about this.

Thanks for chiming in tho, you`re smarter and more popular now than you were b4 you made this post. GJ!

******ed according to you and your own personal opinion. You may not see it as important but, others might and all improvements help in the overall scheme of things. It can't be 'easily fixed by just re-doing your avatar' because PP has a 1 change policy in place in the client and once you have made that 1 change to your personal avatar you are unable to make another. Hence my bringing it up in the first place and also stating that, PP could at least allow us more changes so that it is a non issue. Some of us like to have a decent avatar and don't particularly want to play with default ones that look like they haven't been updated since the 1980's.

That wasn't just my issue anyway. I also posted about the fact that 1/4 of the avatar now can't been seen when playing a normal MTT and 1/2 the avatar can't be seen when playing a bounty game. Might as well get rid of avatars completely and just have a player plate with a nickname on it.
